Engagement types
Application security basics
Threat model new features, protect auth and admin surfaces, validate inputs, and manage secrets properly. Mobile apps need secure storage and certificate strategies appropriate to the threat model.
Cloud and PDPL-minded practices
Least privilege, encryption in transit/at rest, audit logs, and data retention policies. Document processors and subprocessors for customer trust.
Making remediation stick
Convert findings into backlog tickets with severity. Re-test. Add regression checks for critical issues.
