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.
