The danger of "If It Isn't Broken, Don't Touch It" is that it can be very expensive.
There are a lot of enterprise systems that are powered by Visual Basic 6 codebase and are still used for mission critical operations. These applications remain under the radar so leadership typically does not perceive an immediate impetus to modernize.
But under the surface there's a steadily growing risk profile:
- Unsupported Runtimes & Controls: 32-bit runtimes and unpatched third-party ActiveX/OCX controls from abandoned vendors.
- Security & Compliance Exposure: Unpatchable CVEs, embedded credentials, inline SQL, and regulatory gaps across HIPAA, PCI DSS, and GDPR.
- Shrinking Talent Pool: High operational risk caused by key developer departures and scarce legacy knowledge.
AI That Understands Legacy Code — Insight Without Exposure
Weeks of expensive third-party consulting were previously needed for traditional risk evaluations. The VB6 RiskMatrix Tool represents the method to expert assessment packed into a self-contained, AI-based tool.
RiskMatrix's AI is not just other general purpose AI tools, it is a legacy-intelligence AI, developed over many years using VB6, COM, ActiveX/OCX, and Windows runtime, which encapsulates architectural patterns that modern AI has never seen.
Zero Source Code Exposure
Your propriety business logic, sensitive data and database credentials remain on your local machine. The tool is able to locally parse project files and output an anonymized structural profile. This metadata is the only information that is delivered to the AI engine to be compared to our legacy-technology knowledge base.
3 Layers of AI-Driven Analysis
- Layer 1: Local Code Scan
Analyzes the project at your local machine to get an objective baseline of project size, number of procedures, module structure, maintainability indicators, etc.
- Layer 2: AI Knowledge Matching
Compares anonymized dependencies with our own database of legacy technologies to discover vendor end-of-life status, discontinued platforms and unpatchable CVEs.
- Layer 3: Prioritized Recommendations
Converts structures signals to clear business metrics and concrete and executive ready next steps mapped to risk containment or .NET migration roadmaps.
What Your Free AI Assessment Report Includes
- VB6 Codebase Profile & Complexity Metrics: Module volumes, maintainability indexes, fragility indicators.
- Third-Party Component & OCX Inventory: Full inventory of external controls with vendor support information.
- Vulnerability & Compliance Mapping: Embedded credentials, inline SQL and regulatory compliance gaps detection.
- Prioritized Executive Matrix: I rated business risk factors mapped into easy-to-understand, evidence-based migration or containment actions.
When to Use the VB6 RiskMatrix Tool
- Planning a VB6-to-.NET Migration: Create a leadership business case that is defensible and based on evidence.
- Preparing for Audits: Plan for audits & discover security and compliance vulnerabilities before the outside parties find them.
- Mergers & Acquisitions: Quickly scan code quality and obscure code relationships of unknown assets.
- Developer Turnover: Bridge the gap or gaps in knowledge when senior legacy developers depart.
