What belongs in an application inventory before auditors arrive
How to build an application inventory that survives an audit of applications — owners, environments, and the fields that actually get tested.

Audits of applications that leave a paper trail worth following
We examine how your organisation runs, secures, and documents its business applications — then deliver a findings pack your internal owners can actually remediate.

Flagship engagement
Full application control audit
A structured review of one application family or a bounded application portfolio: access paths, change records, backup proof, vendor dependencies, and the everyday operating procedures that rarely match the policy binder.

Choose the depth that matches your deadline
Every engagement starts with a written scope letter. We do not sell open-ended “assessments” without naming which applications and which controls are in play.
Full application control audit
A thorough audit of applications covering access, change, operations, and vendor dependencies for one application family or a bounded portfolio.
Privileged access review
A focused audit of applications concentrating on privileged accounts, dormant access, and joiner-mover-leaver trails.
Pre-external readiness check
A short, intensive audit of applications timed ahead of a parent-company, lender, or statutory review.
Application change sampling
Evidence-led sampling of configuration and release changes across in-scope applications over a defined period.
How clients use us
Before an external review, or after a near-miss
Finance and operations teams in Japan often call when a parent company, lender, or customer asks for proof that critical applications are controlled. Others arrive after a failed restore test or an access review that uncovered dormant accounts.
We sit with application owners, sample evidence, and write findings in plain language — severity, owner, and a remediation window that respects Japanese fiscal calendars and change freezes.

What a recent client said
“They caught that our payroll application’s emergency accounts were still active after the vendor cutover. The report was blunt about documentation gaps, which stung — but we fixed those before the group audit.”
