Security & Data Handling
Careful handling of the systems and data entrusted to us.
Working on business systems means being trusted with access to code, infrastructure, and data. We treat that trust as part of the engagement: security is considered in how we build software, and equally in how we behave while working on yours.
Secure development practices
We apply established security practices in the software we build: validated input, correct handling of authentication and permissions, protection against the common classes of web vulnerabilities, and dependencies that are kept current.
Data minimization
Systems should collect and retain the data they need, not everything that might someday be interesting. Less stored data means less to protect, less to breach, and easier compliance. We design with that principle.
Access discipline
We work with the least access necessary, through accounts that can be individually revoked, and we do not accumulate credentials beyond an engagement. Production data is touched deliberately, never casually.
Honesty about limits
Careful engineering raises the bar considerably, and for specialized requirements, such as formal penetration testing, the right specialist should be engaged, and we will say so.
Security concerns we routinely address
- Access and permission concepts in business applications.
- Secure handling of business and transaction data.
- Aging dependencies with known vulnerabilities.
- Backup and recovery procedures that were never tested.
- Systems where every user effectively has administrator rights.
