Control who gets in, and what they can do
Many internal tools start with one shared login and full access for everyone. That's a real liability the moment the tool touches sensitive data. We layer in proper authentication and permissions so access matches each person's role.
Single sign-on ties the tool to the identity provider you already use, so access is granted and revoked in one place, and offboarding an employee actually cuts off their access to the tool.
- SSO via SAML or OIDC through Google, Microsoft Entra, Okta, or your IdP
- Role-based access control down to the feature or record level
- Least-privilege by default: read-only, editor, admin, and custom roles
- Multi-factor authentication where your policy requires it
- Instant deprovisioning when someone leaves or changes roles
Make every action accountable
When something goes wrong, a record changed, an export pulled, a refund issued, you need to know who did it and when. An audit log records the sensitive actions in your tool as an append-only trail you can review, not something a user can quietly edit.
We log the decisions and events, not more sensitive data than necessary, so the log itself doesn't become a new place for a breach.
- Append-only audit log of logins, edits, exports, and admin actions
- Who, what, when, and from where, searchable and exportable
- Alerts on high-risk actions like bulk exports or permission changes
- Data-minimizing logs that record the action, not raw sensitive values
- Retention rules aligned to your policy
Sensible defaults that hold up to review
Security is more than a login screen. We apply the practical controls that reviewers and customers ask about: encryption in transit, secrets kept out of code, session timeouts, and careful handling of the data you actually need to store.
We're an engineering agency, not an auditor. We build the controls and document how they work, so you can answer a security questionnaire honestly.
- HTTPS everywhere and encryption of sensitive fields at rest
- Secrets in a secrets manager, never hard-coded in the codebase
- Session timeouts and re-authentication for sensitive actions
- A documented access model to answer vendor security questionnaires
- Environment separation so test data and production don't mix

Frequently asked questions
Can you make our tool SOC 2 or HIPAA compliant?
We can build and document the technical controls those frameworks expect, like access control, audit logging, and encryption, which is a large part of the work. But compliance is an organizational program with policies and an external audit or assessment; software alone doesn't grant a certification. We'll be clear about what we can implement versus what your organization owns.
We already have Okta or Google Workspace. Can the tool use it?
Yes, and it's the recommended path. Connecting your existing identity provider means one place to manage accounts and MFA, and it removes the standalone passwords that tend to leak. We support the standard SSO protocols those providers use.
Will adding this slow the tool down or annoy our team?
Done right, no. SSO usually makes login faster because people use the account they're already signed into, and role-based access reduces clutter by showing each person only what they need. The goal is controls that fade into the background, not friction.
