How do you handle website/app security and data privacy?
Security and data privacy are not features; they are non-negotiable requirements in our development process. We take a multi-layered approach to protect your digital assets and your users’ data from the ground up.
Our Security Best Practices:
- Secure Coding Standards: We adhere to industry-best practices (like OWASP Top 10) to prevent common vulnerabilities like SQL injection, cross-site scripting (XSS), and insecure data handling.
- SSL Encryption: We implement SSL certificates (HTTPS) for all websites we build. This encrypts all data transmitted between your server and your users’ browsers, protecting sensitive information like login credentials and contact details.
- Data Validation & Sanitization: All user-submitted data (from contact forms, user accounts, etc.) is rigorously sanitized and validated to prevent malicious code from being executed on your server.
- Secure Authentication: We implement strong password policies, secure token-based authentication (for apps and APIs), and can integrate two-factor authentication (2FA) for an added layer of protection.
- Regular Updates: For websites built on a CMS (like WordPress), we ensure all core software, themes, and plugins are kept up-to-date to patch known vulnerabilities.
Data Privacy (e.g., GDPR, DPDPA) We build our applications with privacy by design.
- We ensure your application is compliant with relevant data protection laws, such as India’s DPDPA or Europe’s GDPR, if applicable to your audience.
- This includes building features for user consent (e.g., cookie banners), data access requests, and the “right to be forgotten” (data deletion).
- We will work with your legal team to ensure your privacy policy is properly implemented and your data collection methods are transparent and compliant.
Security is an ongoing process, not a one-time setup. We strongly recommend our Monthly Support & Maintenance Retainers to ensure your platform remains patched, monitored, and secure against new threats as they emerge.
