Audit

An examination of all aspects of an App’s development, operation and governance by an independent, trustworthy entity with full cooperation by the App Creators.

Similar to the use of audits in finance, this is generally considered the most trustworthy form of information about many aspects of an App. It can be complemented by other inherently trustworthy approaches such as Reproducible Builds.

Example:

• Maddocks: “Department of Health / The Covidsafe Application / Privacy Impact Assessment” (for the Australian app). 24 April 2020
