What does a Moodle™ security audit include?

We work through your environment systematically: configuration, roles and permissions, authentication, installed plugins, and server settings. You receive a report with every finding classified by risk, plus concrete steps to resolve them.

How does a plugin source-code review work?

You provide the plugin or a link to its source. We review the code for vulnerabilities such as SQL injection, missing capability checks, XSS, and unsafe file handling. You receive a clear verdict: safe to use, usable with changes, or not recommended.

What exactly does the deep scan check?

The scan looks beyond Moodle™ itself: versions of Moodle™, PHP, and the database, known vulnerabilities in installed plugins, file permissions, configuration files, and common server mistakes.

How long does an audit take?

A standard audit usually completes within one to two weeks, depending on the size of your environment and the number of plugins. A single plugin review is often done within a few days.

A written report with all findings ordered by risk: a plain-language summary for management and the technical details for your administrator. If you wish, we implement the improvements for you as well.

Do you also perform full penetration tests?

Our audits focus on the Moodle™ application itself: configuration, plugins, and code. For a full network penetration test of your entire infrastructure you are better served by a specialised security firm; our report aligns well with that work.

What happens after the audit?

You decide what to do with the findings. Many clients have us fix the most important items right away; others handle it with their own administrator, using our report as the guide.
