‘Blue Piste’ - An overview of (i) Kaspersky’s security and transparency best practices, (ii) its products and services, and (iii) its data center. The company’s security experts will answer any questions regarding the company’s data processing practices and the functioning of Kaspersky’s solutions, together with a live demonstration of a source-code review. This is the best option for getting acquainted with both the company’s engineering practices and unparalleled data protection standards.
‘Red Piste’ - A review of the most critical parts of the source code by a client or regulatory stakeholder, assisted by the company’s experts. This option permits a more targeted, less time-consuming analysis of particular functionality, yet still enables one to become fully assured of the code’s safety.
‘Black piste’ - The deepest and most comprehensive review of the most critical parts of Kaspersky’s source code, assisted by the company’s experts. This option is provided to both regulatory stakeholders and clients who want to conduct a comprehensive code review and get the highest possible assurance of both the quality and security of Kaspersky products. For experts only.
