5. Search/Edit/Export screen The original version of this application  allowed entry of new accreditations,  the entries were stored but not as valid accreditations. Data was not secure and records inconsistent

6. Summary of deficiencies Totally confusing portal which had to serve for general media sport  all data accessible to all users without restrictions  information could be changed by all users  insecure access  no relation to IF Passport  no links between related information  very long and irrelevant selection lists  inconsistent database content  no option to delete records

7. Test and remedial actions With the use of the username and password of an IF,  I was able to check the system  Found a lot of defieciencies  Advised IF’s to refrain for entering new accrediations  Informed the KOC and Swiss Timing on my findings  During three weeks continued testing of the implemented corrections Management of user rights transferred to Swiss Timing User rights have been reassigned The system is now related to IF passports Established links between related selection boxes Created an exclusive Portal for IF’s Tests Remedical action
