How to conduct a full security audit within a Bubble.io app environment?

 

Review Security Compliance:

Check that your app is compliant with the SOC 2 Type II standard for security. Ensure you are meeting the standards of applicable data privacy laws, like GDPR for EU and UK.

 

Verify User Authentication:

Confirm that all user authentication methods are robust. This includes checking password strength requirements, implementing multi-factor authentication, and ensuring reset processes are secure.

 

Inspect External Integrations:

If using Bubble's Data API and Workflow API, ensure that external requests are authenticated and authorized. Check that secure tokens or authentication methods are correctly implemented.

 

Audit Privacy Rules:

Go through your app's privacy rules to confirm that sensitive information is protected, with access limited to the right users.

 

Server Log Analysis:

Utilize server logs to examine interactions and activities within Bubble. Verify that logs capture sufficient information for monitoring and troubleshooting security incidents.

 

Check for Encryption:

Confirm encryption of data at rest and in transit. Validate that all data moving in and out of your app is encrypted along with stored data.

 

App Preview Security:

Make sure that the app preview requires a username and password, so unauthorized users cannot access it.

 

Penetration Testing:

Perform penetration testing to identify vulnerabilities. Contract with a security firm if necessary to conduct a thorough pen test.

 

DDoS Prevention:

Review measures to prevent Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks. This can include rate limiting, cloud-based protection, and traffic analysis.

 

Review Workflows and Permissions:

Carefully check workflows within your app for points where sensitive data is handled. Confirm that permissions are correctly set to prevent unauthorized access or data modification.

 

Document Security Policies:

Ensure you have an established security policy that is followed for data handling and privacy.

 

User Education:

Educate end-users on maintaining account security. This can include proper password hygiene, recognizing phishing attempts, and more.

 

Backup and Recovery Procedures:

Check that backups are regularly performed, and that there's a clear recovery process in place for security incidents.

 

Incident Response Plan:

Develop or review your incident response plan. Having a clear process for responding to security threats is crucial for minimizing potential damage.

 

Responsible Disclosure:

Ensure there is a process for responsible disclosure of security vulnerabilities, allowing researchers or users to report issues safely and responsibly.
