Independent Verification and Validation
Interhack's Independent Verification and Validation (IV&V) service provides clients with the assurance that they need that they're building the software right, and that the right software is being built.
While computers and the software that runs them are critical to virtually every business, few have the capability to provide the kind of oversight needed to ensure that their investment in software development is being well-made. Particularly as software development is increasingly done offshore, risks present from software need to be managed.
Ongoing oversight is not just good policy anymore; an IV&V program can be a critical component of an effective information assurance program that also addresses concerns raised by HIPAA, GLBA, COPPA, and other regulation.

Independent Verification and Validation
Offered as a subscription service, Interhack's IV&V works by first establishing a scope and schedule for reviews. Any particular concerns of the client are identified for special attention. As laid out in the schedule, on a weekly, monthly, or quarterly basis, a snapshot is made of the code in use. Interhack's IV&V team tracks the changes, providing recommendations for developers in addressing management concerns. Summary reports are also submitted for the sponsoring management, showing code activity, summarizing recommendations, and providing a risk analysis of the system's code.
