When does a company need an IT audit?
Before deploying new essential features
Ensure their compatibility, security, and overall performance within the existing infrastructure.
Application scaling or increased load
Evaluate the system's capacity, identify performance bottlenecks, and ensure optimal scalability and
responsiveness.
Vulnerability and security issues
Identify weaknesses, assess risks, and provide recommendations for enhancing security measures and
protecting sensitive data.
High cost of maintaining outdated infrastructure
Identify inefficiencies, assess risks, and provide recommendations for optimizing the infrastructure and
reducing maintenance expenses.
New product in the Company's portfolio (M&A)
Ensure seamless integration, assess infrastructure compatibility, and identify potential risks or
challenges.
Accessing challenges as a new CTO or Tech Lead
Gain a comprehensive understanding of the company's existing technology landscape and identify potential
areas for improvement.
Sibedge Audit Services
Best practice dictates that an audit needs to be performed by an external team. A fresh look, guided by a
systematic approach, will reveal areas for improvement that the involved developers might have missed.
Architecture Audit
Sibedge experts provide a comprehensive examination of the system's technical components, including
the software stack. It focuses on scalability, security, compliance, and performance. We provide
recommendations to optimize performance, enhance security, and align with industry standards. Our
objective is to ensure a robust and regulatory-compliant product experience.
Infrastructure Audit
In this phase, we thoroughly evaluate your technology infrastructure, including hardware, software
virtualization, network, cloud components, and CI/CD processes. Our assessment ensures reliability,
scalability, performance, and security while seamlessly integrating with CI/CD pipelines. Our goal
is to create a robust environment for efficient product development and deployment that overcomes
constraints like long deployment cycles, limited production access, and high costs. We aim to make
the process cost-effective and reduce time-to-market by optimizing CI/CD processes and potentially
eliminating redundant steps or loops.
Databases Audit
Sibedge performs a comprehensive database audit that includes a deep analysis of the database
architecture and functionality. We examine the design and structure of the database. We focus on
intricate aspects like index usage to determine the efficiency of query processing. The goal of this
assessment goes beyond optimizing the effectiveness, responsiveness, and consistency within the
database system. It also aims to align the database with technical benchmarks to ensure a seamless
and high-performance user experience. The result is scalability, fault tolerance, and high
availability of data. We also help you evaluate and select the clustering format that best meets
your unique needs.
Security Audit
Our security audit for fintech products goes beyond the surface to evaluate critical elements such
as authentication, access controls, encryption, and secure protocols. Equipped with a keen awareness
of the paramount importance of security in the fintech landscape, we leverage respected
vulnerability databases (e.g., OWASP) and industry-standard tools (e.g., Snyk) to uncover and
remediate significant security weaknesses in your services and protocols.
SDLC
Our experienced team conducts a thorough assessment of your software development processes and
scrutinizes every aspect, from requirements management to deployment practices. We understand the
critical balance between stability and release velocity in the competitive fintech landscape.
Through a comprehensive SDLC audit, we pinpoint areas for improvement and pave the way for optimized
workflows, enhanced software quality, and efficient compliance measures. This audit ensures that
your releases are timely and stable, meeting both user expectations and industry standards.
Code Review
Code review plays an important role in fintech product development through the careful examination
of source code. Our code review process not only analyzes code structure, logic flow, and variable
naming, but it also ensures adherence to coding standards and effective error handling. This
quality-focused approach is at the core of our audit, which is designed to provide your team with
the tools, insights, and processes needed to achieve consistent code excellence. By fostering a
culture of thorough code review, we contribute to higher software quality, faster validation,
improved stability, and a stronger overall development process.
