Why choose our Systems and Software Audit service?
With the advance of technology nowadays (the introduction of cloud-based services, the spread of IoT devices, Big Data etc.), the IT systems that define the life of an enterprise have access to more and more external links. The solution for real innovation and fast development is an open IT system – however, an open system is less controllable and has a number of security risks. The communication platforms that more and more poeple have access to can endanger the confidential information of a company.
In today’s rapidly developing and ever changing world, it is crucial that enterprises consciously pay attention to the security of their IT systems: they must be aware of the security risks concerning them, and be able to take the appropriate steps against them. And to do that, a full systems and software audit done by an unbiased expert can be an excellent solution.
If you have any of those questions above, Régens’ system and software audit service is an efficient and simple solution. When completed, you will not only have a complete picture of the current state of of your systems, but with the help of our professional consultants we can guarantee the conditions of total IT security, so you can preserve your company’s values.

What audit services can you choose from?
Source code review
For whom?
We recommend this to any company using a top priority bespoke software in order to help business operations.
MORE INFORMATION
What does it include?
Our professional team reviews and evaluates the source code based on programming technology aspects. During the evaluation of the code basis, we detect whether there are problematic or dangerous solutions in the code from a software development point of view. We also find out whether the source code complies with programming conventions. The audit process is helped by interviews we conduct with the developers in order to get to know the original development methodology and conventions used when the software had been written.
In order to validate IT security on the level of the source code, we examine (with specific measurements and control applications) whether the code basis includes risky or dangerous code parts (back door, data leakage, whether functional and data checks are easy to circumvent) and whether it is protected against possible attacks (e.g. SQL injection, the vulnerability of third-party modules, authentication, password management, session hijacking, direct resource access).
Database review
For whom?
We recommend it for those companies using sensitive data related to personal or business information, who want to provide or evaluate the secure storage, migration or everyday use of their data.
MORE INFORMATION
What does it include?
During the process, our experts examine whether the company’s database complies with today’s expectations from the aspects of data and transaction management, the efficiency of queries, and competition handling. The audit also includes the security of data stored in the database, plus the consistency and the structure of those data. If needed, we also give advice on how to clear the data in the database.
If you need to migrate (read or lift) a significant amount of data, the database-level audit can be a solution in order to plan and carry out the migration process. The migration of data and the compliance of the migrated data is supported by automatic operations and manual checkups.
For whom?
In the case of complex IT systems, the users and subscribers of the system have different roles when accessing the modules and operations of the system. The transparent, controllable admin system needs continuous maintenance and an audit once in a while. This is highly recommended if the system was introduced based on an older system of requirements and conditions, or if the pool of users had changed significantly over time.
MORE INFORMATION
What does it include?
The primary source of security risks related to IT systems and integrated enterprise softwares is those admin rights which are not set appropriately, or are not used any longer but are still in the system. Admin access rights which exceed or differ from real admin rights make an insecure admin system or significant system risk.
Our audit service is a good solution in this case in order to examine the user system, provide the protection of the business application against breaches, and to find out what problems come from a complex admin and user structure and settings.
When completing the audit, our experts dedicate special attention to identify the possible risks and admin system errors, and they make a plan to eliminate all these errors from the system.
Audit for software support and sustainability practices
For whom?
For those companies which use so-called key systems as part of their business operations envisaging continuous maintenance and further development, for which they usually have an external dev team.
MORE INFORMATION
What does it include?
We examine whether the continuity of the IT environment and the supporting services (development competence, IT and user-level support, operation) is provided.
Besides that, the audit also includes the change management of software solutions used by the company, the aim of which is to make sure that all changes made in connection with the IT system are made by also keeping IT security and under controlled circumstances.
Why choose our Systems and Software Audit service?
