Security test potential corona apps

On April 11, the Ministry of Health, Welfare and Sport (hereinafter, VWS), with the Smart Digital Solutions Corona Call (hereinafter, "the Call"), invited the market to submit proposals in the following four areas:
1. Smart digital solutions that can contribute to source and contact detection;
2. Smart digital solutions that can contribute to self-monitoring and remote guidance;
3. Other digital solutions that can contribute to the transition strategy;
4. Preconditions under which such solutions can be deployed.

With regard to component 1, seven parties were asked to participate in a so-called Appathon (which took place on April 18 and 19, 2020), with the aim of allowing VWS to determine in a transparent manner whether and to what extent the solution meets the principles mentioned in the Invitation. Parallel to this Appathon, VWS has asked KPMG to investigate the solutions offered by the seven parties, with the aim of providing insight into the extent to which sufficient attention has been paid to security and reliability of these solutions, consisting of one or more apps, back-end systems and the communication with these systems. The investigation that took place for each vendor consists of two parts, namely:
1. Limited initial penetration test.
2. Quick scan source code investigation.

During the study, a number of research questions were developed for both parts, underpinned by a structured research approach, in order to ensure comparability of the aspects to be investigated for each supplier. These research questions are further specified in this report.
