Annual security audit scheduled for 2025

IVPN News By Nick Pestell | Posted on May 8, 2025

Consistent with our commitment to regular independent security audits, we have scheduled our seventh annual security audit with Cure53, to be conducted over the course of two weeks in May.

As in previous years, audits will target systems and services undergoing significant updates. As part of a broader rollout planned later this year we are launching two new privacy-focused services (optional and free additions for all IVPN Pro accounts). Scope of audits:

IVPN Email Forwarding Service

Pen-test and source code audit covering App UI and API

IVPN DNS Service

Pen-test and source code audit covering App UI and API

Looking ahead, our ongoing IVPN infrastructure upgrade - including transitioning to RAM-only servers - remains a priority with test deployments under way. Audits next year will focus specifically on evaluating new infrastructure rolled out throughout the rest of 2025.
