What compliance frameworks does a software code audit address?

A software code audit can be scoped to address most major regulatory frameworks, including:

  • HIPAA: Covers technical safeguards for electronic protected health information (ePHI), including access controls, audit mechanisms, and transmission security.
  • PCI DSS: Requires secure software development, code analysis for vulnerabilities, and protection of cardholder data environments.
  • SOC 2: Addresses the security, availability, and confidentiality of systems that process customer data.
  • ISO 27001: Requires organizations to manage security risks across information systems, including software.
  • GDPR: Requires that software handling EU personal data be built with privacy and security controls.
