Protecting Your Web Systems with Si Novi

At Si Novi, we prioritize the security and maintenance of web-based systems with unwavering commitment. Whether developing an application from the ground up or enhancing an existing one, our foremost consideration is how security integrates seamlessly into the application architecture. As seasoned software developers, we believe that security isn't just an add-on; it's a fundamental way of working.

By partnering with Si Novi as your outsourced development team, you gain access to cost-effective web security services, ongoing support, and maintenance—along with the confidence that your web systems are in expert hands.

Web Security Built on Best Practices

We are dedicated to creating software that adheres to the highest security standards. To stay ahead of potential threats, we rely on authoritative sources such as the National Cyber Security Centre, the OWASP Foundation, and MITRE. By following their guidance and monitoring emerging threats, we ensure our approach remains cutting-edge.

Our development practices align with the recommendations of software and framework vendors, ensuring the use of vendor-approved techniques. Throughout the development process, we proactively address common web application vulnerabilities, including:

  • Injection attacks
  • Broken authentication and access control
  • Data exposure
  • Cross-site scripting (XSS)

Data Protection by Design and Default

Under GDPR, businesses must implement technical and organizational measures to safeguard individual rights and adhere to data protection principles—a concept known as ‘data protection by design and by default.' At Si Novi, we integrate these principles into every project from the outset.

Our approach includes:

  • Encryption of data in transit using SSL/TLS certificates.
  • Encryption of data at rest with AWS services like Key Management Service (KMS).
  • Access control mechanisms, such as multi-factor authentication.
  • Robust backup strategies, ensuring compliance with Subject Access Requests and data deletion requirements.

We help you design and implement web services that meet your GDPR obligations, including proper personal data storage and timely responses to Subject Access Requests. As a business handling personal data, we are registered with the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) and fully comply with the Data Protection Act and GDPR in both our own operations and client work.

Expert Cloud Security Services

Cloud computing platforms, like Amazon Web Services (AWS), bring enterprise-grade security to businesses of all sizes. By leveraging AWS tools such as Web Application Firewall (WAF), Key Management Service (KMS), and AWS Shield, we help protect your web systems with powerful security solutions.

As AWS Certified Developers at the Associate level, we bring deep expertise to the table, offering tailored recommendations and seamless integration of AWS services into your existing systems.

Comprehensive Security Audits and Remediation

If you're concerned about your application's security posture or simply want a professional evaluation, Si Novi can help. We conduct in-depth security audits of PHP and JavaScript web applications, delivering a detailed analysis report with actionable recommendations for improvement.

Our team is also equipped to carry out remediation work, addressing vulnerabilities and fortifying your application's security. Additionally, we offer ongoing support and maintenance to ensure your systems remain robust against evolving threats.

Whether you need a new application built, an existing one secured, or comprehensive support, we're here to provide reliable, cost-effective solutions.
