Deciphering Cyberscope Security Audits in DeFi
Security audits are the digital red flags and guardrails of DeFi. Cyberscope audits in particular provide structured findings, severity scores, and remediation guidance that help investors separate signal from noise.
In this guide, I translate those reports into practical checks you can apply before you commit capital. We’ll walk through what Cyberscope reports cover, how to read the findings, and how to map them to due diligence steps.

What Cyberscope Audits Cover
Cyberscope typically reviews smart contracts, threat modeling, test outcomes, and data flows. The report includes scope, methodology, and a risk matrix that flags vulnerabilities. For a practical overview, see Cyberscope's audit process and a broader context on DeFi risk DeFi security risks.
Reading Findings: High Criticality & Other Metrics
When you skim a Cyberscope report, focus on the risk score, then drill into the listed findings. High criticality issues demand attention, root-cause tracing, and clear remediation owners. Each finding should map to a component, a module, and an expected fix. To relate this to your existing checks, see Solana AI integration and consider EU regulatory context like EU E‑Money Directive explained.
Remediation Paths and Due Diligence for Investors
Remediation should outline scope, timelines, and owner responsibility. Investors should verify that critical items have accountable owners and measurable milestones. Governance involvement and ongoing monitoring are essential. For broader policy context, see EU E‑Money Directive explained.
- Verify that high‑criticality items have fixes with clear owners
- Check remediation timelines and evidence of progress
- Assess governance participation and post‑audit monitoring
- Review upgradeability risks and token‑holder protections
Practical tips to use Cyberscope reports daily
Adopt a simple security checklist: confirm the audit scope, validate each finding, and track closure. For deeper context on upgradeability, see Solana upgradeability risks and bug bounty programs.
