SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Prepares codebases for security reviews by aligning goals, triaging findings, and assembling documentation and artifacts to streamline audits.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Goal setting and scoping: Define audit objectives and risk areas to focus on.
  • Automated analysis and coverage: Run static analysis and assess test coverage to surface actionable findings.
  • Documentation and artifacts: Produce flowcharts, user stories, glossaries, and build-ready prep materials.
  • Use Case: Security teams prepare a curated 2-week audit package with clear goals, ready-to-run analyses, and deliverable documentation.

Quick Start

Run the audit-prep workflow on your codebase to generate audit goals, execute static analysis, improve test coverage, remove dead code, and assemble the documentation package.

FAQPage Schema
How do I prepare a codebase for a security audit?

Preparing for a security audit involves setting review goals, running static analysis, improving test coverage, and assembling documentation artifacts. This workflow coordinates triage, dead-code removal, and accessibility checks to ensure complete audit readiness.

What documentation do I need for a security review?

Documentation needed for a security review includes flowcharts, user stories, glossaries, and a frozen build plan. Generating these deliverables alongside a structured prep checklist ensures reviewers have the necessary context to evaluate your codebase efficiently.

Can I use this audit prep workflow for multi-language codebases?

Yes, this audit prep workflow applies directly to multi-language codebases. It guides triage, static analysis execution, and test coverage assessment across diverse technical stacks to standardize your security review process.

What is the best way to scope objectives for a code audit?

The best way to scope objectives for a code audit is to define specific risk areas and align review goals upfront. Establishing a focused scope prevents scope creep and targets static analysis findings effectively.

How does static analysis integrate into audit readiness?

Static analysis integrates into audit readiness by surfacing actionable findings before the review begins. Running these analyses early allows your team to triage results, remove dead code, and improve test coverage systematically.

When should I start triaging findings for a security review?

Start triaging findings for a security review immediately after running static analysis. Early triage identifies critical vulnerabilities, removes dead code, and improves test coverage ahead of generating final documentation artifacts.
