Security Is Not Optional — Even for Startups
Many startups focus on speed and product-market fit, often ignoring the foundation of every digital business: security. At Brihat Infotech, we help startups and SMEs implement enterprise-grade security frameworks that protect data, users, and brand trust from day one.
1. Adopt DevSecOps Early
Integrate security into every stage of development — not as an afterthought. Automated vulnerability scans, code audits, and secure CI/CD pipelines prevent issues before deployment.
2. Enforce SSL & Data Encryption
All websites and APIs should operate on HTTPS/TLS 1.3. Encryption at rest and in transit ensures no sensitive data is exposed, even if infrastructure is compromised.
3. Secure Cloud Hosting
Host on reputed cloud providers like AWS or Hostinger VPS with access control, firewalls, and multi-factor authentication. Regular patching and server hardening should be part of your monthly maintenance plan.
4. Role-Based Access Control (RBAC)
Limit access to sensitive data based on user roles. Use IAM policies and audit logs to track every access request and change within your system.
5. Regular Backups & Disaster Recovery
Maintain encrypted offsite backups and test restore procedures periodically. A robust disaster recovery plan (DRP) can save your startup from data loss or downtime.
6. Compliance and Monitoring
Follow industry best practices such as OWASP Top 10, CERT-In guidelines, and maintain regular penetration testing. Implement monitoring tools to detect anomalies in real time.
