Security and data review

Agree on data handling and access responsibilities, then test the intended and forbidden journeys before release.

Availability: Confirm your organisation's required identity, hosting, data-location, retention, and contractual controls with Ahamo before using sensitive data.

Your team decides what the app may collect, who may access it, and whether it is ready for the intended audience. Use sample data during evaluation.

Keep secrets and confidential records out of prompts. Credentials belong in supported server-side configuration.

Test access explicitly

Sign-in and access to individual records are separate concerns. Describe who may read or change each kind of information.

Test with separate accounts: one permitted user, another unrelated user, and a signed-out browser. Check both the successful journey and the access that should be refused.

Review the live app

After publishing, repeat the main journey at the live address. Check downloads, shared links, error messages, and pages that should require sign-in.

Revisit the review when you add data, uploads, sign-in, an external service, or a new audience. These steps support your review; they do not establish a certification or compliance commitment.

Next: Add sign-up and sign-in or review and publish.
