A security audit can serve several purposes, including informing third parties that a system is secure.
The demand for security can come from management, an investor, a partner or a client. Before entering into a contract, some buyers require evidence that pentests are routinely conducted on a software solution.
Other buyers are sensitive to some form of security label when choosing a solution or an IT supplier.
Vaadata can issue a seal of security approval or a security audit certificate following a pentest. For a company, these are more accessible deliverables than obtaining a certification (ISO27001, SOC2, PCI-DSS, etc.). In addition, performing a pentest is part of good safety practice, in order to subsequently obtain a certification.
Seals of security approval
The seals of security approval issued by Vaadata can be integrated in a Website, in commercial proposals, in online spaces reserved for clients, etc.
They highlight the fact that regular pentests are performed.
Vaadata offers four types of seals of security approval:
The security audit certificate
The security audit certificate is a document that can be communicated to customers and partners.
It is a private certificate, proving that a pentest performed by a trusted third party has been completed.
It attests that a platform or a digital solution has been exhaustively audited, and that all the flaws that could be identified have been subsequently corrected.
The certificate thus certifies a level of security reached at the date of its issue.
It is issued by Vaadata following a certifying integral security audit.
