At COE Security, our Software Compliance Testing services ensure that your software products meet relevant industry regulations, security standards, and internal policies. In an increasingly regulated digital environment, software compliance is crucial not only to avoid penalties but also to maintain customer trust and operational credibility.

Our experts assess your software against industry-specific requirements such as GDPR, HIPAA, PCI DSS, ISO 27001, and SOC 2, helping you identify gaps, remediate issues, and maintain audit readiness. We work closely with your development and compliance teams to build a seamless process that integrates with your existing workflows and supports ongoing compliance as your software evolves.

With COE Security, you gain confidence that your applications are not only functional and secure but also aligned with legal and regulatory expectations across jurisdictions.

 

Our Approach

  • Define Compliance Scope and Requirements: Identify applicable regulatory standards such as GDPR, HIPAA, PCI DSS, or ISO 27001 based on your industry and region.

  • Inventory Software Components and Dependencies: List all software modules, third-party libraries, APIs, and data flows to understand the compliance footprint.

  • Review Documentation and Audit Trails: Collect and validate policies, procedures, and logs that demonstrate alignment with the selected compliance frameworks.

  • Perform Code and Configuration Analysis: Examine source code and configurations to identify hardcoded credentials, insecure settings, and unauthorized data access.

  • Assess Data Handling and Privacy Controls: Verify proper data collection, storage, encryption, and deletion practices according to regulatory mandates.

  • Evaluate Access Control Mechanisms: Check user roles, authentication methods, session management, and privilege escalation protections.

  • Test Logging, Monitoring, and Alerting: Ensure audit logs are generated, securely stored, and reviewed, with alerts configured for key compliance events.

  • Validate Encryption and Security Protocols: Confirm usage of approved cryptographic standards for data in transit, at rest, and during processing.

  • Conduct Compliance-Focused Vulnerability Scans: Use automated tools and manual testing to detect issues that could lead to non-compliance.

  • Deliver Compliance Gap Report and Remediation Plan: Provide a clear report outlining gaps, severity, and corrective actions to meet full compliance
