Security-first product thinking
We map assets, trust boundaries, and abuse cases early. Requirements include auth, data handling, logging, and compliance needs before design starts.
Secure by design
Software Development
with a Security Lifecycle
CloFix builds web apps, APIs, and platforms with a best-practice Secure Software Development Lifecycle (SSDLC) - security in requirements, design, code, test, release, and operations.
Secure Software Development Lifecycle
Security is continuous - not a gate at the end. Each phase feeds the next, with feedback from operations back into requirements.
Secure Software Development Lifecycle (SSDLC) - security activities in every phase
Development approach
Practical delivery with security built in - not bolted on after launch.
Iterative delivery with gates
Short iterations with clear acceptance criteria. Each sprint includes code review, automated scans, and a security checklist before merge and release.
Operate with CloFix protection
Production apps ship behind CloFix WAF, monitoring, and hardening so new features stay protected as they go live.
Delivery steps
How a CloFix software project moves from idea to secure production.
1
Discover & scope
Goals, users, stack, and risk profile. We define MVP scope, success metrics, and security requirements.
- Stakeholder workshops and backlog
- Data classification and compliance notes
- Threat modeling kickoff
2
Architecture & secure design
System design with authN/Z, encryption, secrets, API boundaries, and fail-safe defaults.
- Component and data-flow diagrams
- Control mapping (OWASP ASVS-aligned)
- Environment and CI/CD plan
3
Build with secure coding
Implementation with reviews, dependency hygiene, and least-privilege patterns.
- Feature slices with PR review
- Secret scanning and SAST in pipeline
- Unit and integration tests
4
Verify & harden
Functional QA plus security verification before production.
- DAST / penetration checklist
- Config hardening and access review
- Performance and resilience checks
5
Release & protect
Controlled deploy with observability and edge protection.
- CI/CD release with rollback plan
- CloFix WAF / CDN where needed
- Runbooks and on-call handoff
6
Operate & improve
Monitor, patch, and feed findings back into the next iteration.
- Logs, alerts, and incident response
- Dependency and CVE follow-up
- Continuous SSDLC improvements
What we build
Product software with security and operations in mind - aligned with CloFix services.
Web applications & portals
Customer portals, admin consoles, and content platforms with strong auth, role-based access, and CloFix WAF protection.
APIs & integrations
REST/GraphQL APIs, webhooks, and third-party integrations with rate limits, validation, and audit trails.
Internal tools & automation
Ops dashboards, workflow tools, and secure automation that fit your DevOps and cloud practices.
Security-aware modernization
Refactor legacy apps: reduce risk, improve deployability, and add monitoring without a full rewrite.
