Security

Ensuring robust security is a critical aspect of modern app development. Whether your app handles user data, connects to third-party services, or stores sensitive business information, integrating security best practices from day one reduces risk, protects your users, and builds trust.

1. Build with Security by Design

• Define data sensitivity levels (e.g., personal data, financial records).

• Follow the principle of least privilege: users and system components should only access what they absolutely need.

2. Authentication & Authorization

• Enforce fine-grained access control at all levels - UI, API, and database.

• Assign roles (admin, editor, viewer, etc.) with scoped permissions to reduce exposure.

3. Secure API Communication

• Use SSL/TLS encryption to ensure secure data transfer between the app and the server.

• Reject unencrypted HTTP connections or redirect them to HTTPS.

• Use authentication tokens for all API requests.

4. Avoid Unverified Plugins or Scripts

• Only install libraries and third-party plugins from trusted sources.

5. Secure User Data and Privacy

• Only collect data that is absolutely necessary.

• Avoid storing personal identifiers unless essential for the app's core functions.

6. Isolate Staging & Production Environments

• Never mix test and live data.

• Use strict access control on the production environment.
