Secure Development

Introduction:​

At Mindsmiths, secure development is at the core of our practices. We prioritize the implementation of robust security measures throughout the software development lifecycle to ensure the delivery of secure, high-quality solutions.

Key Practices:​

Adherence to SDLC Policy:​

  • We strictly follow the Software Development Lifecycle (SDLC) policy, encompassing all phases from requirement analysis to decommissioning, meeting the highest security standards.
  • Each phase is executed with a focus on incorporating security measures and controls.

Data Validation and API Integrity:​

  • Special emphasis is placed on data validation to ensure the integrity and accuracy of data processed by our applications.
  • APIs are developed and maintained with strict adherence to OWASP (Open Web Application Security Project) standards, ensuring secure communication and preventing vulnerabilities.

Sensitive Data Protection:​

  • Stringent measures are applied to protect sensitive data throughout its lifecycle.
  • Rigorous validation procedures are in place to ensure the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of sensitive data.
  • Controlled access is enforced based on data sensitivity and project needs, limiting access to authorized personnel only.

Immutable APIs:​

  • To ensure seamless interoperability and minimize disruption, all APIs are treated as immutable under normal circumstances.
  • Changes to open APIs are considered breaking changes, requiring prior notification and confirmation from clients to ensure smooth transitions.

OWASP:​

  • We actively incorporate the OWASP framework into our secure development practices.
  • OWASP provides industry-accepted best practices and guidelines for web application security.
  • Our development teams stay updated on the latest OWASP recommendations to address emerging security challenges effectively.

Compliance and Quality Assurance:​

  • We prioritize compliance with industry standards, regulations, and best practices.
  • Regular reviews, audits, and testing are conducted to ensure ongoing compliance with security requirements and the effectiveness of our secure development processes.
