## Help wanted
We are actively looking for sponsorship to obtain security audits to comprehensively ensure the security of _Authelia_.
As security is really important to us we see this as one of the main financial priorities.
We believe that we should obtain the following categories of security audits:
* Code Security Audit / Analysis
* Penetration Testing
If you know of a company which either performs these kinds of audits and would be willing to sponsor the audit in some
way such as doing it pro bono or at a discounted rate, or wants to help improve _Authelia_ in a meaningful way and is
willing to make a financial contribution towards this then please feel free to contact us.
