RADAPEX uses the APEX Quality Framework (AQF) and takes a strategic approach to assess the Functionality, Performance, Usability, Reliability, Security, Maintainability, Accessibility, and Testability of Oracle APEX applications.


By aligning with the Government Digital Service (GDS) standards and the UK National Cyber Security Centre’s (NCSC) 14 Cloud Security Principles, this initiative aims to build assurance in applications' quality and security, enabling long-term trust and sustainable digital transformation.


RADAPEX adopts a cloud first approach with DevSecOps principles at the heart of everything.

Checklist

APEX Quality Framework

Are you responsible for Oracle APEX apps?

​

Are your applications insecure or failing your legal obligations?

​

We think they will be!

One of the most powerful features of Oracle Application Express is the ability to stand the test of time, applications that were built more than a decade ago can still provide the same great, streamlined functionality as it did in 2010, but what about security and accessibility?
 
Since 2010, there has been a monumental shift and appreciation of the following areas:
 

  • Security

  • Accessibility 

  • Information Privacy legislation changes, such as GDPR

​

Whilst these applications are still serving a purpose, are they as secure and accessible as they should be?
