PARTNERSHIP
The client
Vrije Universiteit Brussel has a rich history spanning more than 50 years, marked by an unwavering commitment to addressing the challenges of the future. This commitment is realized through the pursuit of high-quality research, the delivery of customized education, and a strong dedication to societal progress. The institution is firmly rooted in Brussels and Europe, guided by the principles of fostering critical thinking, promoting free inquiry, and embracing humanism. This project executed by a university team is focused on providing alternative energy sources tracking.
PROJECT SCOPE
THE CHALLENGE
We presented the client with a comprehensive report analyzing their existing project’s codebase and management principles. Additionally, we provided them with Development and Management solutions to enhance product performance. Usually our audit is focused not only on code quality but also on interface audit and security aspects, considering the identification of vulnerabilities as crucial during the assessment. Though this time it was a collaborative solution and the web interface was done by another partner, it remains an important part of each of our audits.
STRATEGIES AND EXECUTION
