Authentication
Established sign-in flows, hashed credentials, session expiry, and multi-factor authentication where the product calls for it.
Security & engineering standards
Security is designed in, not added on
Security is part of how we design and build software, not a step added at the end. This page describes our engineering practices for CTOs, CIOs and technical decision-makers. It is not a list of certifications.
Secure development lifecycle
Security at every stage
Requirements
Identify what data the system holds, who may access it and which regulations apply.
Design
Apply least-privilege access, separate roles and plan how data is protected.
Build
Validate all input, manage secrets outside the code and keep dependencies up to date.
Test
Review code, test access rules and check common vulnerabilities before release.
Deploy
Use encrypted connections, hardened configuration and separate environments.
Operate
Monitor, apply updates and rehearse recovery.
Engineering standards
What we practice
Fourteen areas we plan into every system, written for technical and business decision-makers.
Authorization
Permissions checked on the server for every request, not only hidden in the interface.
Access control
Role-based and least-privilege access for users, staff and services, reviewed when roles change.
Data protection
We agree what data is collected, where it is stored and how long it is kept, and collect only what is needed.
Encryption
Encrypted connections between users and systems, and encryption of stored data where the platform supports it.
API security
Authenticated endpoints, input validation, rate limiting and consistent error handling for the interfaces we build.
Secure development
Secrets kept out of source code, input validation and output encoding, and common vulnerabilities considered during design.
Code review
Changes are reviewed by another engineer before they are merged.
Testing
Automated tests plus manual checks of access rules and critical journeys before each release.
Backup
Backup schedules and retention agreed for each system, and restoration checked, not assumed.
Disaster recovery
A written recovery approach with agreed recovery goals for systems where downtime is costly.
Monitoring
Health, error and usage monitoring with alerts, so problems are seen before users report them.
Logging
Structured, access-controlled logs and audit trails that avoid recording sensitive data.
Dependency management
Third-party packages are reviewed, pinned and updated on a regular basis, with known vulnerabilities addressed.
Privacy and compliance
Regulation, privacy and certification
Regulatory requirements such as data-protection law (for example GDPR) are scoped with your team at the start of a project, together with any data-residency needs.
Codexaara does not currently hold or claim any security certification such as ISO 27001 or SOC 2. If a project requires one, we will say so plainly and help you plan for it with the right partners. Certifications will be listed here only when they are held and can be verified.
Have security or compliance requirements?
Tell us about your data, your users and any regulations that apply. We will scope them at the start of the project.
