SC Audit Studio

Boutique audit firm founded by competitive white-hat professionals specializing in securing mission-critical technology.

Founded in Helsinki in 2024, SC Audit Studio is an independent cybersecurity research lab helping DeFi teams identify, understand, and mitigate cybersecurity risk.

We provide rigorous security reviews, penetration testing, and data-driven risk analysis across EVM-based protocols and Canton Network applications. Our work supports teams building the next generation of decentralized finance - from startups to established ecosystems.

Since inception, SC Audit Studio has completed several full security audits and helped save millions in live funds from exploitation. Our lead researcher has disclosed more than 100 vulnerabilities and contributed to security engagements for protocols including Aave, 1inch, and Parallel protocol, while our international team brings together hands-on experience in competitive auditing, bug bounties, CTFs, protocol development, and DeFi research.

Comprehensive Cybersecurity Solutions for Startups

  • Blockchain Security: In-depth smart contract audits and protocol-infrastructure reviews designed to identify vulnerabilities before deployment.
  • Full-Application Penetration Testing: White-box and black-box penetration testing covering networks, infrastructure, cloud environments, web applications, and mobile applications.
  • Property-Driven Development: A unique approach that combines test-driven development with formal verification to define, test, and continuously validate critical security properties throughout the development lifecycle.

Use Cases

Pre-Audit Consultation

A pre-audit is a focused consultation provided to teams immediately before they submit their protocol for a formal security audit. If a formal audit is the final, graded exam, a pre-audit is the intensive review session with a senior tutor. The primary goal is to challenge the design, clean up the code, check tests, and make sure the overall protocol has no major obvious vulnerabilities before the formal audit is done. This process shifts the focus of the final audit from finding everything to finding the hard edge cases.

Security Audit

Smart contract security audits are detailed, independent assessments of blockchain code designed to identify vulnerabilities, logic errors, and inefficiencies before deployment. Researchers working for SCAS have demonstrated several times how vulnerabilities can be found even after code reviews were conducted by other firms.

OpSec Audits

Last year, over 70% of hacks were due to private key compromises. We believe investors will soon demand proof of implementation of operational best practices. OpSec (Operational Security) Audits are specialized cybersecurity reviews that focus on risks typically not covered by traditional smart contract audits.
