Enterprise-grade practices.
Honest artifacts.
How we handle your data, protect your IP, and align to the security and compliance frameworks your customers and auditors care about.
What buyers and auditors actually ask us.
Every question below is one we've answered on a real procurement or audit call. The answer is the same in the sales deck and the courtroom.
Data handling & residency
Your production data lives on your infrastructure, your cloud, your database, your buckets. During the engagement, we access only what we need through your identity provider (Google Workspace SSO or Okta). We never copy production data to local machines; when test data is needed, we use anonymised or synthetic datasets generated inside your environment.
IP assignment & confidentiality
Every deliverable, code, designs, documentation, and dependencies we introduce, is assigned to your company at commit time, under our standard Master Services Agreement. There is no license-back, no residual ownership, no separate IP invoice. Confidentiality survives termination of the engagement. Custom NDA is welcome if procurement prefers it.
Security practices
MFA required on every engineer account. Password managers issued by us. Endpoint protection enforced. Least-privilege access to your systems, revoked within 24 hours of engagement end. Secrets managed via your provider (AWS Secrets Manager, Google Secret Manager, Doppler, or 1Password), never stored in code, chats, or tickets. Suspected incident response includes 4-hour notification.
Delivery & code-review process
Every change lands via pull request. Every PR requires a second reviewer. Automated checks run OWASP-baseline scans, dependency audits, and type checks before human review. Every merge to main triggers a deploy to a staging environment first; production deploys are manual and logged. Full audit trail lives in your git history.
Where code and data live
In your GitHub / GitLab / Bitbucket organisation. In your Vercel, AWS, GCP, or Azure account. In your Postgres, Firestore, or whatever store your app uses. We work as commit authors on your systems, not as a separate tenant. Any temporary infrastructure we spin up during the build (staging demos, one-off environments) is torn down at cutover.
Compliance posture
Compliance is a code-level property, not a badge. Your engagement ships against the framework you're accountable to and produces the artifacts your auditors ask for. We've delivered engagements passing SOC 2 Type II, HIPAA controls, GDPR data-subject-request flows, and PCI-DSS SAQ scope. Frameworks we haven't personally shipped to (FedRAMP, ISO 27001) we can advise on but wouldn't oversell, we'd bring in a specialist partner instead.
Artifacts, not promises.
A short list of what leaves the engagement with you, including the things your auditor will ask for by name.
- Signed MSA with IP assignment and confidentiality
- Access log of every engineer and every system touched
- PR history with named reviewers and CI results
- Architecture Decision Records (ADRs) for non-obvious choices
- Threat model for the systems that need one
- Incident-response runbook (24-hour response, 4-hour notification)
- Data-flow diagram of what leaves your environment (usually: nothing)
- References on request, real customers, real conversations
Who touches your code and data.
Every engineer on your engagement is directly employed or on long-standing contract with us, never a subcontractor of a subcontractor. Background checks are run before any engagement touches production data. Every engineer signs a personal NDA in addition to our corporate one.
Squad rotation is engagement-decided, not agency-decided. If someone leaves for personal reasons mid-engagement, we replace with equivalent seniority within 5 business days at no cost to you.
Account management sits in North American timezones and owns your outcome. Engineering happens on the global bench with rolling coverage across GMT-5 through GMT+8.
