Software and Technology Auditing
I recently completed a software & technology audit to a government institution called “SINAP,” which refers to the National Property Institute of Honduras. This is a major software project with millions of lines of code, managing TeraBytes of geospatial information, and modern databases. The audit consisted in reviewing their Java code base, .NET systems, HTML/CSS, and many processes that handled thousands of transactions. The software deals daily with property titles and is part of the digital marketplace of Honduras. The audit was a success and we expect to help more institutions on that front.
