Data Security & Penetration Testing

As a financial tool for international students, SideKick Card collects and transmits sensitive data from users all around the world. We want to put our product through a security & compliance crash course with your help. This project will include: An identification of necessary compliance regulations both in Canada and in our key markets, such as Brazil and Mexico, and an investigation of how our current processes adhere to those regulations Penetration testing of every aspect of our product: mobile app, web app, and backend servers. A short summary (written or presented in a slide deck) of your findings, including any potential vulnerabilities or shortcomings, and potential solutions to those vulnerabilities. We will give you access to organizational assets to support this project such as personnel, account logins, and internal tools. Objective We hope to gain a comprehensive understanding of where we sit when it comes to security & compliance in our product.
