Application Security Audit

Growth and changes in organisations can put strain on applications as they struggle to keep up with growing demand and usage. The application security audit is an assessment which focuses on a critical business application. It is very important to subject application software to a thorough audit because the business processes and transactions involving money, material and services flow through the application software package.

  •  provide assurance that the application provides a degree of control over the data being processed
  •  evaluate on the efficiency and effectiveness of the design and operation of controls and procedures
  •  identify application-related issues that require attention
  •  assessment of compliance with regulatory requirements

Our application security audit begins with a detailed evaluation of your application:

  •  understand and adhere to business rules in the flow and accuracy in processing
  •  validations of various data inputs
  •  logical access control and authorisation
  •  exception handling and logging
