How we handle security and compliance
Security is not a phase. It is a set of defaults: least privilege, encrypted by default, logged, tested, and documented well enough that an auditor does not need us in the room.
Outcomes
- Role-based access and least privilege by default
- Encryption in transit and at rest
- Audit logging of privileged actions
- Dependency scanning and patching
- Penetration testing before go-live for sensitive systems
- Documented data processing, residency and sub-processors
Problems this solves
Security added at the end
Access control, logging and retention are designed with the first feature, because retrofitting them is far more expensive.
Production data in test
Anonymised datasets and separated environments prevent the most common avoidable exposure.
No record of access
Audit logging of reads and writes on sensitive data supports both compliance and incident response.
Architecture and integration
- Encryption in transit and at rest, with documented key handling.
- Server-side authorisation on every request, never interface-only restrictions.
- Separate environments with no production data outside production.
- Retention and deletion implemented as scheduled jobs, not manual promises.
How delivery runs
- 01
Data inventory
What personal data is processed, why, on what legal basis, and for how long.
- 02
Access model
Roles and least-privilege access defined before screens are built.
- 03
Secure delivery
Code review, dependency scanning and secrets kept out of repositories.
- 04
Operational readiness
Backups, restore testing, monitoring and a documented incident route.
What moves the price
Compliance scope
Documentation, audit support and evidence production are engineering time.
Data residency
Regional hosting requirements affect infrastructure choices and cost.
Penetration testing
External testing and remediation should be budgeted when the system handles sensitive data.
Where projects go wrong
Unpatched dependencies
Automated scanning plus a monthly update rhythm, not an annual review.
Untested backups
Restores are rehearsed; a backup that has never been restored is an assumption.
FAQ
Questions buyers ask
Do you sign a data processing agreement?+
Yes, with a named sub-processor list and change notification.
Can data stay in our region?+
Yes. Hosting region is decided before architecture, not retrofitted.
