The present invention provides a system and method for tracking and verifying that controls associated with an application of interest do not present a potential security risk. The method includes identifying controls of interest by determining which installed software objects associated with the application of interest exhibit certain characteristics, such as being publicly creatable, being designated as safe, and providing a security-related interface. Once the controls of interest are identified from the installed software objects, information associated with each control is obtained and stored. Each time the software program of interest is modified and re-installed, the information is updated to reflect the modifications. Additional information is also stored with the information. The information and the additional information may be provided to a browser for display and may be modified by a user to describe a present state associated with the control of interest (i.e., tested, untested).
