Security News > 2020 > July > A Boxcryptor audit shows no critical weaknesses in the software

During the audit, Kudelski was given access to the source code of Boxcryptor for Windows and to the internal documentation.

The goal of the audit was to give all interested parties an indirect insight into the software so that they can be sure that no backdoors or security holes are found in the code.

Robert Freudenreich, CTO of Boxcryptor, about the benefits of an audit: "For private users, Boxcryptor is a means of digital self-defense against curious third parties, for companies and organizations a way to achieve true GDPR compliance and complete control over business data. With software that is so security relevant, it is understandable that users want to be sure that the software is flawless."

The audit process started at the beginning of May with short communication lines to the developers and managers in the Boxcryptor team.

In practice this code was never used by Boxcryptor, so there was no danger for Boxcryptor users at any time.
