Experts from epicenter.works, noyb.eu and SBA Research evaluated the Austrian Red Cross' "Stopp Corona" app for data security and privacy. No critical security gaps were found, but some potential for improvement in data protection implementation was identified.

Many recommended improvements have already been implemented by the Austrian Red Cross. Within the existing system, some of these have already been implemented, others require long-term changes - including by Apple and Google.

The Austrian Red Cross and Accenture GmbH have provided the source code of the Stopp Corona app (version 1.1) to epicenter.works, noyb.eu and SBA for an analysis in order to check the software with regard to IT security, data protection and legal aspects. The analysis was free of charge.
