Security audit readiness - create audit charter #3
Description
Rationale
As Turnkey matures, security audits by third-party firms are critical for enterprise adoption and confidence. A formal audit charter establishes scope, goals, and resources needed for a comprehensive security assessment.
Suggested Scope
- Define audit objectives and security properties to validate
- Document threat model and key attack surfaces
- List critical components requiring deep review (key management, signing, cryptographic operations)
- Create audit readiness checklist (code clarity, test coverage, documentation)
- Identify security-sensitive areas for auditor focus
- Establish timeline and resource allocation
- Plan remediation tracking and follow-up process
Effort Estimate
Small-Medium (1-2 weeks) for charter creation; actual audit prep may extend this.
Success Criteria
- Formal audit charter document completed and approved
- All stakeholders aligned on audit scope and expectations
- Audit-ready checklist created and tracked
- Code and documentation in audit-ready state
