Security and privacy

Security and privacy considerations built into product architecture.

Mobile products often handle accounts, personal information, locations, payments, operations data, and permissions. The technical approach should minimise unnecessary exposure and keep important decisions on the server side.

Product architecture

Build access control into the workflow.

A secure product needs clear rules for who can view, create, update, or manage each type of data.

01

Authentication and role-based permissions

02

Server-side validation for important business actions

03

Secure API and backend architecture

04

Minimum data exposure across customer, provider, and admin roles

Implementation practices

Treat backend rules and secrets as product requirements.

The exact stack changes, but the underlying questions stay similar.

01

Supabase or PostgreSQL Row Level Security where appropriate

02

Protected administrative operations and access review

03

Environment variables and secrets kept outside client applications

04

Review of third-party integrations, data flow, and permission boundaries

Questions

Useful answers before you start.

Can you add security improvements to an existing app?

Yes. An existing-app review can identify authentication, permissions, API validation, exposed secrets, and backend access areas that need attention.

Do you provide legal compliance certification?

No. Technical privacy and security practices should be coordinated with the client's legal and regulatory advisers when formal compliance requirements apply.
