Our approach
Security is part of architecture and delivery, not a badge added at launch. The right controls depend on the data, users, integrations, and consequences of failure.
We start by reducing what a system collects, separating public and private surfaces, and keeping consequential actions reviewable. Client-specific requirements belong in the written scope.
This website
- Public pages and server routes are delivered over HTTPS by managed hosting infrastructure.
- Administrative routes use Supabase-backed authentication and server-side session handling.
- Service credentials and intake secrets are read from server environment variables, not shipped in public page code.
- Public form routes validate and limit submitted fields before delivery to business systems.
- Optional analytics transport is off until permission is given, and Global Privacy Control is honored.
- Private application routes are excluded from the public analytics transport.
Client delivery
For client systems, we favor client-owned accounts, scoped credentials, separation between environments, documented integrations, and explicit human approval for high-impact actions.
Security reviews, penetration testing, compliance work, formal availability commitments, backup objectives, and incident-response requirements are included only when they are part of the agreed scope. We do not imply a certification or audit that has not occurred.
AI and automation boundaries
AI output can be wrong. Systems that affect money, employment, health, legal rights, safety, or sensitive customer communication need stronger review, logging, fallback, and access controls than a low-risk drafting tool.
We identify where a person must remain in the loop, what data may be sent to a model provider, and what the system should do when confidence, access, or an integration fails.
Report a security concern
Email shane@ideas-realized.com with the subject “Security report.” Include the affected URL or system, steps to reproduce, impact, and a safe way to contact you.
Please do not access, change, retain, or disclose data that is not yours. Do not disrupt service, use destructive testing, target people, or demand payment. Give us a reasonable opportunity to investigate before public disclosure.
We do not currently operate a paid bug-bounty program, and sending a report does not create a contract or guarantee payment.
Questions and procurement
For a project-specific security review, data-flow discussion, or procurement questionnaire, contact the studio. We will separate controls already in place from controls that require project scope and budget.
