JoinAffix - Web Engineering
APPLICATION & CLOUD HARDENING

Protect your users, data, and brand with practical security engineering.

Security cannot be bolted on as an afterthought. We conduct deep technical reviews to uncover misconfigured servers, exposed environment variables, insecure authentication flows, and dependency vulnerabilities.

The Core Problem We Solve

Modern web applications face automated scrapers, brute-force attacks, SQL injection attempts, leaky S3 buckets, exposed API tokens in client bundles, and unpatched server software. A single security breach can devastate user trust and lead to regulatory penalties.

TARGET AUDIENCE

Who this service is engineered for

Designed for businesses, technical leaders, and founders who require senior execution rather than amateur experimentation.

Startups preparing for due diligence, enterprise customer reviews, or product launches
Companies handling sensitive user data, customer records, or financial transactions
Teams that experienced suspicious activity, server compromises, or spam bot floods
Businesses seeking external technical validation of their cloud and application architecture
INCLUDED SCOPE

What is included in this service

Clear architectural deliverables and engineering responsibilities covered in our engagements.

Full-Stack Code & Secret Leakage Audit

Static code analysis to detect exposed API keys, unsafe eval execution, SQL injection vectors, and Cross-Site Scripting (XSS).

Authentication & Session Security Review

Auditing JWT token lifecycles, CSRF protections, OAuth callback validation, password hashing algorithms, and rate limiting.

Server & Cloud Configuration Hardening

Securing SSH access, closing unnecessary server ports, configuring UFW/fail2ban, and setting up strict IAM permission boundaries.

Security Headers & CSP Implementation

Deploying Content Security Policy (CSP), Strict-Transport-Security (HSTS), X-Content-Type-Options, and CORS configurations.

Database Access & Storage Bucket Audits

Verifying Row-Level Security (RLS) policies in PostgreSQL/Supabase, public bucket access restrictions, and encryption at rest.

Remediation Guidance & Re-Testing

Delivering a prioritized vulnerability report with actionable code snippets and verifying all resolved issues.

Typical Tangible Deliverables:

Executive security summary & detailed technical vulnerability report
Prioritized remediation matrix with severity scores (Critical, High, Medium, Low)
Implemented security headers, CORS policies, and rate-limiting rules
Server hardening scripts and IAM least-privilege configuration guidelines
Follow-up verification check after fixes are deployed

EXECUTION ROADMAP

How we execute this service step-by-step

Our structured 4-step framework from initial diagnostic to deployment and handoff.

01

Scope Definition & Non-Destructive Scanning

We define testing boundaries and run static analysis, dependency scanning, and header inspections.

02

Manual Code & Architecture Inspection

Our senior engineers examine authentication flows, database queries, access control policies, and cloud IAM roles.

03

Vulnerability Report & Action Plan

We compile findings into a clear report ranking risks by business impact with direct engineering fixes.

04

Patch Implementation & Verification

We assist your team in applying recommended security patches and re-test to confirm all vectors are closed.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Common questions about this service

Honest answers regarding timelines, ownership, and technical logistics.

This is a practical technical engineering and vulnerability audit designed to harden code, infrastructure, and access controls. While it establishes the technical foundations needed for SOC 2 or ISO 27001 compliance, formal compliance certification requires an accredited auditing firm.
