A computer system executing a method for tracking custom computer application development profiles in a data processing system comprising a first, second and third database tool connected to each other; a data bank connected to each database tool; and a security and authorization interface connected to the data processing system. The first database tool, or security and authorization profile change request database, comprises a first set of protocols which create and edit the profiles, and allows requestors an ability to view the documented progress of queries of the profiles. The second database tool, or profile requirement worksheet, comprises a second set of protocols which gather requirements of the profiles and identify the data. The third database tool, or Profile Matrix, comprises a third set of protocols which track modifications of the profiles and allows tracking capability of the tasks required to gather and implement changes to the profiles.
