August 3 update: business security audits, APK analysis and governed ShopFit help

A public-safe update introducing the separate ASL Business Security Audit, protected APK analysis and governed bilingual ShopFit help.

What changed

August 3 added three customer-facing capabilities with deliberately different boundaries: a non-destructive Business Security Audit, separately authorized active security testing, and protected Android package analysis. ShopFit also gained a governed bilingual help collection that answers from reviewed material instead of improvising.

01

The Business Security Audit became a separate advisory service

The new audit feature is distinct from the existing active scanner. It supports an authorized organization review across governance, assets, identity, applications, data, vendors, monitoring, incident response and recovery. Each finding can carry evidence, business impact, a practical fix, an owner, effort and calendar estimates, and a closure test.

This is designed to give a small or midsize organization an achievable plan rather than a list of alarming observations. Active penetration testing is not implied. If a client needs it, the testing scope, targets, techniques, window and emergency contacts require separate written approval.

Customer-facing outcome

  • Sixteen-section business audit catalog
  • Practical remediation and completion estimates
  • Retest and closure evidence
  • Separate authorization for active testing
02

APK Security provides isolated Android package review

ASL APK Security analyzes an authorized Android application package without installing or running the unknown app. It organizes package metadata, permissions, observable components, malware evidence and potential risk into downloadable review formats.

The service is a protected beta and keeps a necessary limitation visible: static analysis can reveal meaningful evidence, but a clean result cannot prove that an application is safe in every condition. Customers should use it as triage and engineering evidence, not as an absolute certification.

Customer-facing outcome

  • No installation or execution of the submitted APK
  • Static and malware-oriented evidence
  • Owner-scoped jobs and reports
  • Clear limits on what a clean result proves
03

ShopFit Help demonstrates governed product assistance

ShopFit gained a dedicated English and Spanish source collection with review ownership and version control. Questions are answered from the approved collection, with source links and an escalation path when the evidence does not support an answer.

That pattern can support other ASL products and client organizations. It gives customers useful self-service without revealing proprietary implementation details or creating a general chatbot that may invent product behavior.

Customer-facing outcome

  • English and Spanish help collection
  • Reviewed source versions
  • Citation and abstention behavior
  • Human support escalation
