# Security Audit Schedule
|
||||
|
||||
This document outlines the security and code quality audit schedule for DMARQ.
|
||||
|
||||
## Audit Frequency
|
||||
|
||||
**Quarterly audits** are conducted to ensure ongoing security and code quality:
|
||||
|
||||
- **Q1 Audit**: January - March (Target: Last week of March)
|
||||
- **Q2 Audit**: April - June (Target: Last week of June)
|
||||
- **Q3 Audit**: July - September (Target: Last week of September)
|
||||
- **Q4 Audit**: October - December (Target: Last week of December)
|
||||
|
||||
## Audit Scope
|
||||
|
||||
Each quarterly audit should cover:
|
||||
|
||||
### 1. Security Review
|
||||
- XSS and injection vulnerability scanning
|
||||
- Authentication and authorization checks
|
||||
- Credential and secrets management review
|
||||
- CSP (Content Security Policy) compliance
|
||||
- Third-party dependency security audit
|
||||
- Input validation and sanitization review
|
||||
|
||||
### 2. Code Quality
|
||||
- Code style and formatting consistency
|
||||
- Test coverage analysis (target: >80%)
|
||||
- Documentation completeness
|
||||
- Performance bottleneck identification
|
||||
- Technical debt assessment
|
||||
|
||||
### 3. Infrastructure
|
||||
- Database schema optimization
|
||||
- API endpoint security
|
||||
- Error handling and logging
|
||||
- Rate limiting and DoS protection
|
||||
- Backup and recovery procedures
|
||||
|
||||
### 4. Dependencies
|
||||
- Update all dependencies to latest secure versions
|
||||
- Review and remove unused dependencies
|
||||
- Check for known vulnerabilities (using tools like `safety`, `pip-audit`)
|
||||
- Update Python to latest stable patch version
|
||||
|
||||
## Audit Process
|
||||
|
||||
### Step 1: Preparation (1 week before)
|
||||
1. Review previous audit findings and verify all items are addressed
|
||||
2. Update all dependencies
|
||||
3. Run automated security scans:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Python dependency security scan
|
||||
pip-audit
|
||||
safety check
|
||||
|
||||
# Code security scan
|
||||
bandit -r backend/app/
|
||||
|
||||
# Detect secrets
|
||||
detect-secrets scan
|
||||
```
|
||||
4. Check test suite status
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
pytest backend/app/tests/ --cov
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Step 2: Manual Review (Audit week)
|
||||
1. Review all code changes since last audit
|
||||
2. Test authentication and authorization flows
|
||||
3. Manual XSS testing with common payloads
|
||||
4. Review CSP headers and inline scripts/styles
|
||||
5. Check error messages for information disclosure
|
||||
6. Review logging for security events
|
||||
7. Test file upload handling
|
||||
8. Review API rate limiting
|
||||
|
||||
### Step 3: Documentation (End of audit week)
|
||||
1. Create audit report document (see template below)
|
||||
2. Document all findings with severity levels
|
||||
3. Create GitHub issues for each finding
|
||||
4. Update security documentation as needed
|
||||
5. Create remediation plan with priorities
|
||||
|
||||
### Step 4: Follow-up (Next sprint)
|
||||
1. Address CRITICAL findings immediately
|
||||
2. Schedule HIGH priority fixes for current sprint
|
||||
3. Backlog MEDIUM and LOW priority items
|
||||
4. Track progress on all findings
|
||||
|
||||
## Audit Report Template
|
||||
|
||||
Create a new file in `/docs` for each audit:
|
||||
|
||||
```markdown
|
||||
