Secure Development Practices

Our development team uses secure coding standards recommended by the OWASP Foundation, conducts regular vulnerability scans, and implements role-based access controls. We also provide detailed documentation for audits and compliance reviews.

Ongoing Security Monitoring

After launch, we monitor for potential threats and apply timely security patches to keep your app safe from evolving risks.

This approach is part of our commitment to delivering safe, compliant, and effective healthcare applications — as outlined in our Healthcare App Development process.
