Architectural choices shape a system’s exposure. Reviewing them early helps address risks before they become structural.
Set access boundaries
Define the roles and resources each workflow needs. Least privilege applies to people, services and technical keys. Avoid shared accounts and document access revocation.
Minimise retained data
Collect only data needed for the service. Define retention, access and deletion procedures. Logs should help diagnosis without exposing secrets.
Test assumptions
A backup is useful only if restoration works. Access controls need server-side testing. Include these checks in delivery and revisit them when the scope changes.
