Design With Security In Mind.
Security breaches can be embarrassing for any company, but for many businesses it can be the difference between life and death. Good system security is no longer a nice to have for successful SaaS companies - it's a business imperative.
Avoid lost revenue
Whichever way you look at it, a security breach will impact the bottom line. If your platform is taken offline, new customers can't buy. And if a cyber-attack is bad enough, existing customers may leave and never come back.
Maintain reputation
Breaches in security and the loss of customer data can have a crippling effect on a business. The longer it takes to detect a breach, the worse the damage and the more your hard-won reputation gets eroded.
Reduce recovery costs
Recovering from a security incident can be very costly. In addition to lost revenue, the cost of investigating a breach and fixing any security problems, there can be hefty fines to pay regulators and compensation to pay customers.
System design
When it comes to designing an infrastructure on AWS, we take the Security by Design approach and implement the best practices recommended by the Well-Architected Framework, ensuring that security is always built in from the start.
Operational practices
Good system security often comes down to sound operational practices. This means installing the right security tools ahead of time, designing processes for your team to follow, and testing these regularly so that you can rely on them when you need to.
Regulatory compliance
Complying with security regulations requires both experience and expertise - particularly if you can't afford to compromise on agility. With the right tools and design, compliance can be systematic, error-free and painless.
