Audit process
Four stages from brief to walkthrough
This is how our flagship API Transaction Audit Review typically unfolds. Release checks and diligence support reuse pieces of the same spine at a smaller scale.
1. Brief and boundary
You tell us which APIs create, reverse, or settle transactions, the review window, and who will read the report. We reply with a written scope: endpoints in, endpoints out, sample size, and the controls we will test against. Kickoff waits until that scope is signed.
2. Trail collection
Your contacts provide read-only access or exported logs, settlement files, and policy excerpts. We map each sampled path from the initiating call to the ledger or settlement effect. Missing evidence is logged as a finding candidate, not patched with assumptions.
3. Finding and challenge
Draft findings go to a joint session with compliance and engineering. Severity labels can change when operators show compensating controls we had not seen. The goal is a report your team will defend, not one that surprises them in a partner meeting.
4. Delivery
You receive the audit pack: scope, method, findings with owners, and a remediation sequence. A closing walkthrough answers questions and confirms who holds each next step. Follow-up retesting is a separate engagement if you want it.
Prepare your brief
List the money-moving endpoints, the audience for the report, and your target delivery week. We will respond with scope questions and a fee range.
