Compliance Testing: Internal Review vs. Chainscore Audit
A detailed comparison of managing compliance in-house versus partnering with Chainscore Labs for a comprehensive, expert-led audit program.
| Compliance Factor | Internal Team Review | Chainscore Institutional Audit |
|---|---|---|
Expertise & Experience | Limited to in-house knowledge | 15+ years of combined regulatory & blockchain expertise |
Audit Scope & Depth | Basic code review, may miss edge cases | Full-stack audit: smart contracts, governance, treasury ops, legal wrapper |
Regulatory Framework Alignment | Manual research, high risk of oversight | Mapped to SEC, FINMA, MiCA, and FATF Travel Rule standards |
Security & Vulnerability Detection | Relies on public tools (Slither, MythX) | Proprietary tooling + manual review by ex-audit firm leads |
Time to Audit Completion | 3-6 months (part-time, variable) | 4-8 weeks (dedicated sprint, fixed timeline) |
Audit Report & Documentation | Internal notes, not bank-grade | Institutional-grade report with actionable findings & remediation roadmap |
Ongoing Monitoring & Updates | Reactive, manual process | Proactive monitoring for protocol/regulatory changes (optional SLA) |
Stakeholder Confidence | Moderate (self-attested) | High (third-party validation for VCs, partners, regulators) |
Total Resource Cost (First Year) | $150K-$300K+ (FTE, tools, legal) | $50K-$120K (predictable, outcome-based) |
Risk of Regulatory Action | Higher (untested assumptions) | Significantly mitigated (evidence of due diligence) |

STRUCTURED & TRANSPARENT
Our Four-Phase Audit Methodology
A rigorous, repeatable process designed to provide institutional-grade assurance for your DAO's governance and treasury operations. We deliver actionable findings, not just a report.
01
Phase 1: Architecture & Governance Review
We map your entire governance stack—from proposal lifecycle and voting mechanisms to treasury management and role-based permissions. This foundational review identifies systemic risks before code analysis begins.
Client Value: Gain a clear, documented understanding of your governance model's attack surfaces and compliance gaps.

Phase 2: Smart Contract Security Audit
In-depth, line-by-line analysis of all on-chain logic, including governance contracts, timelocks, and treasury vaults. We employ both manual review and automated tooling to detect vulnerabilities from reentrancy to logic flaws.
Client Value: Secure your core assets and voting power with findings prioritized by exploit likelihood and potential financial impact.

Phase 3: Operational & Process Testing
We simulate real-world governance actions—proposal creation, voting, execution, and emergency responses—to test for front-running, governance fatigue, and process failures. This phase validates the human-in-the-loop elements.
Client Value: Ensure your DAO's operational playbooks are robust and resilient under stress, preventing costly procedural errors.

DAO Compliance Testing FAQs
Answers to common questions from CTOs and legal teams evaluating our institutional-grade DAO compliance testing services.
We follow a structured, three-phase methodology: 1) Governance Architecture Review – We audit your smart contracts (Governor, Timelock, Token) against legal frameworks. 2) Operational Flow Analysis – We simulate proposal lifecycles, treasury actions, and member permissions to identify regulatory gaps. 3) Risk & Reporting – We deliver a prioritized findings report with actionable remediation steps, mapped to jurisdictions like the US, EU, and Singapore. This process is based on our work with 50+ DAOs securing over $500M in assets.
