A code audit typically involves reviewing the source code to identify security vulnerabilities, compliance with coding standards, and the presence of appropriate logic and controls. However, determining whether consent is durably recorded in the event of a server crash is outside the scope of what can be assessed in a code audit.
This requires operational checks and validation of data resilience and durability mechanisms, such as database configurations and backup procedures. The IAPP Information Privacy Technologist documentation highlights that auditing focuses more on code correctness and security rather than operational durability.
