Security Overview

The Reformer Platform handles sensitive client data, authentication, and financial transactions. Security is a top priority and must be considered in every development decision.

Security Principles​

  1. Defense in Depth - Multiple layers of security controls
  2. Least Privilege - Minimum access required for functionality
  3. Secure by Default - Security built-in, not bolted on
  4. Fail Securely - Errors don't expose sensitive information
  5. Never Trust User Input - Always validate and sanitize

Security Responsibilities​

All Developers Must:​

  • ✅ Review security procedures before writing code
  • ✅ Follow secure coding practices (see Secure Coding Guidelines)
  • ✅ Run security tests before committing
  • ✅ Report security issues immediately
  • ✅ Never commit secrets or credentials

Security Team Must:​

  • ✅ Conduct regular security audits
  • ✅ Review all code changes for security issues
  • ✅ Monitor for security vulnerabilities
  • ✅ Keep security documentation up to date
