Security & compliance

Build the migration around security and compliance requirements.

When a rebuild has to satisfy a security review or a compliance framework, the requirements belong in the architecture from day one, not bolted on at the end. We build the technical controls a framework expects and prepare the evidence — so your path to readiness is shorter.

Plainly: we build for readiness and prepare technical evidence. We do not — and cannot — promise certification or legal compliance. Those are decisions for your auditor, regulator, and counsel.

See the standard-by-standard verdicts for Bubble, or walk through how the process works.

Shared responsibility

A clear line between what we build and what you own.

What we build and document

  • The security properties of the code and architecture.
  • Access model, encryption, secrets handling, and logging.
  • Backups, retention behavior, and data-flow documentation.
  • Security testing and the technical evidence that supports an audit.

What stays with you

  • Policies, procedures, and staff training.
  • Contracts, including any BAAs or data-processing agreements.
  • The legal determination of which frameworks apply.
  • Engaging an auditor or regulator and obtaining certification.

Technical controls

The controls we design into the rebuild.

Every migration starts with an NDA and a threat model for your specific data and workflows. From there, these controls are built in rather than retrofitted.

Threat model

We start by mapping your data, trust boundaries, and the ways they could be abused, so the controls that follow are aimed at real risks rather than a generic checklist.

Access control

Least-privilege access enforced at the data layer, with roles and permissions modeled explicitly rather than implied by the UI. Server-side authorization on every path that touches sensitive data.

Encryption

Data encrypted in transit and at rest using the platform's managed mechanisms, with sensitive fields handled deliberately and documented in the data-flow map.

Secrets management

Credentials and API keys kept out of source and configuration, injected through a validated environment layer, and scoped so a leaked secret has the smallest possible blast radius.

Logging and audit

Structured, tamper-evident logging of security-relevant events — who did what, to which record, when — designed so an audit trail exists without capturing more personal data than necessary.

Backups and recovery

Automated backups with a documented restore procedure, so recovery is a rehearsed process rather than an assumption. Retention of backups is set to match your policy.

Readiness pathways

Technical readiness for the frameworks buyers ask about.

For each framework below we build the technical controls it expects and prepare supporting evidence. Readiness is not certification — the audit and the legal determination remain yours.

HIPAA readiness

Access controls, audit logging, and encryption sized for protected health information, with data-flow documentation. Business Associate Agreements and the legal determination of covered status remain yours.

SOC 2 readiness

Technical controls mapped to the common Trust Services Criteria — security, availability, and confidentiality — with evidence prepared for your auditor. The Type II examination itself is engaged by you.

PCI DSS scope reduction

We keep cardholder data out of your systems by using hosted payment fields, so the sensitive data never touches your servers and your PCI scope stays as small as possible.

WCAG accessibility

Accessible components, semantic markup, and keyboard and screen-reader support built in and checked during the rebuild, so the app is positioned to meet WCAG success criteria.

Frequently asked

What security-conscious teams ask first.

Straight answers on the responsibility split, evidence, and the difference between readiness and certification.

Can you make my app HIPAA or SOC 2 compliant?
No one can make software compliant on your behalf. Compliance is an organizational and legal state that depends on your policies, contracts, and an auditor's or regulator's judgment. What we do is build the technical controls a framework expects — access, encryption, logging, retention — and prepare the evidence so your path to readiness is shorter. Certification is a decision for your auditor and counsel.
What is the shared-responsibility split?
We are responsible for the security properties of the code and architecture we build — how data is accessed, encrypted, logged, and retained. You remain responsible for your policies, your contracts (including any BAAs or processor agreements), staff training, and the legal determination of which frameworks apply. We document the line clearly so nothing falls through it.
Do you sign an NDA before seeing our system?
Yes. We work under an NDA before reviewing your app, data model, or export, and we treat access as read-only unless a task explicitly requires more.
What evidence do we get out of the build?
Architecture and data-flow documentation, an access model, an encryption and secrets summary, a logging and retention description, and the results of the security testing performed. This is technical evidence that supports an audit; it is not an audit report or a certificate, and we do not present it as one.
Do you provide legal advice on which regulations apply?
No. Which frameworks apply to your business, and whether you meet them, are legal questions for your counsel and auditor. We build and document the technical side so those conversations start from a stronger position.

Legal note

The information on this page describes technical engineering work and is not legal advice. Building technical controls and preparing evidence supports a compliance program but does not by itself make an organization compliant with any law, regulation, or framework, and does not constitute or guarantee certification. Whether a given standard applies to your business, and whether you meet it, are determinations for your legal counsel, auditor, and the relevant regulator. We make no representation or warranty of legal compliance.
