</CardGroup>
|
||||
|
||||
### 8.2 Recommended Standards Implementation
|
||||
|
||||
1. Implement OWASP secure coding practices
|
||||
2. Adopt NIST cybersecurity framework controls
|
||||
3. Prepare for SOC 2 Type II audit
|
||||
4. Consider ISO 27001 certification for enterprise use
|
||||
|
||||
## 9. Conclusion
|
||||
|
||||
The Sonr MPC vault system demonstrates good architectural principles and has implemented several important security improvements. However, critical vulnerabilities prevent immediate production deployment with user funds.
|
||||
|
||||
<Note>
|
||||
The system is suitable for testnet deployment with immediate remediation of
|
||||
the three critical issues identified. A comprehensive security hardening
|
||||
effort over 3-4 months is required before mainnet deployment with user funds
|
||||
is recommended.
|
||||
</Note>
|
||||
|
||||
<Warning>
|
||||
**Immediate Priority:** Address the three critical vulnerabilities before any
|
||||
production deployment.
|
||||
</Warning>
|
||||
|
||||
**Recommendation:** Engage a certified security firm for external audit before mainnet launch.
