"The Oak Security team has been extremely helpful in streamlining the whole
audit process for our grants projects and reducing their time to market on
Osmosis. We’ve also received positive feedback from our grantees as they’ve told
us Oak Security has been a pleasure to work with.”

Federico Daffina Minicucci, Steward of the Osmosis Grants Program, Reverie




audit PROCESS


RIGOROUS & COLLABORATIVE AUDIT APPROACH

Our process is designed to be thorough, diverse, and mixed. We employ a variety
of techniques and perspectives to give you a 360 degree review of your project
to maximize coverage and depth.

01

Each audit is done by 3+ auditors, who are chosen for their expertise in your
industry. Cryptography projects will have a cryptography expert on the team,
DeFi projects will have an economist on the team.

02

Your auditors will work independently to conduct an in-depth assessment of your
code and project, utilizing static and manual code reviews, as well as approved
testing and modeling methods.

03


The auditors will reveal their findings in a Consensus meeting, collaborate on
open leads and put together the final report which will be shared with you.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Will an audit find all vulnerabilities?

During our audits, we employ several measures to maximize the likelihood of
finding critical issues in the codebase and provide as much security as
possible. Despite these efforts, there is always a possibility that we miss
issues. Security audits should only be considered to be one component of your
overall security strategy. A security review is no substitute for other best
practices and should be accompanied by a security-focused design process,
extensive unit, integration, and end-to-end testing, internal code reviews, bug
bounties, secure development and development processes, as well as strictly
followed operational security processes.

Whilst we would like to promise you a 100% hit rate, we believe no security
company can make this claim.

How much does an audit cost?

It depends – we estimate the cost of each audit individually and provide a quote
based on a number of factors, including the size of the codebase, its
complexity, novelty, and the cost of the specialized team required for the
specific project. Contact us here to request a quote, we will get back to you
within one business day.

How is Oak Security different from other firms?

Oak Security uses a unique auditing process, based on blinded, independent
reviews using a mix of methodologies. We staff at least 3 auditors on every
audit, who work independently during the first phase of the project, initially
not sharing their results. Each of the auditors follows their own methodology
within our framework. This blinded approach has the advantage that auditors do
not bias each other, whilst ensuring a wider breadth of techniques being
applied. It also allows us to monitor the contributions of our auditors, which
can be used to ensure high and consistent quality across projects.

After this initial phase, the auditors will share their findings in a consensus
meeting and produce a report which lists issues encountered together with
recommendations. The final version of our report is transparently published to
our GitHub repository (https://github.com/oak-security/audit-reports/).

The selection of auditors for each project is performed in a unique manner. We
assign at least 3 auditors with a background depending on a project's nature.
For instance, a DeFi protocol with an economic model will have an auditor with a
strong background in economics, and a ZK-rollup processor will have a
cryptographer on the team. While all auditors are required to manually review
all the code in the scope of the audit, we allow each auditor to add their own
set of techniques. This may include economic modeling, if appropriate, writing
tests for edge cases not covered by the included tests, and fuzz testing for
parts of the system that are susceptible to different behavior under a large
number of parameter combinations. We believe this freedom in methodologies leads
to the best results, since auditors compete internally to find critical issues,
and will choose the best tools to help them during this process.


How long does an audit take?

The timeline for each audit depends on the complexity of the project and will be
provided with our initial quote on a case-by-case basis. Audits may take
anything from 0.5 weeks for simple projects to 12 weeks for very complex
projects. In most cases, the duration is between 1 and 2 weeks.

In addition to the duration of the audit itself, you should account for time to
apply our recommendations. The verification of fixes for the issues is included
in our audits. Our auditors remain available for 3 weeks after the initial
report has been delivered for this process.

When should I request a quote?

We recommend reaching out as early as possible to avoid delays in case of longer
lead times. We do not require a codebase that is ready for the audit when we
create a quote.

As long as we receive a work-progress version together with a description of the
functionality to be added, we can create an estimate of the effort and budget
required. We also offer clients who do not have a finalized codebase blanket
reservations that will be refined closer to the audit start date.
