Security by Design: security starts before launch
Most data leaks don't happen because of hackers, but because someone once decided, "it's fine if this is visible."
What to ask as early as the prototype stage: – Should everyone really see this? – Do we need to show this at all? – Would this be a leak if it ended up in a screenshot?
Security is part of product architecture. The earlier it’s built into how the team thinks, the fewer risks, rollbacks, and losses you’ll face.
Facts: • A design-stage flaw may cost ~$100 to fix; after launch — $100,000+ • The average data breach in the U.S. costs $9.44M • 60% of startups don’t survive a serious data breach
If you’re at the MVP stage, preparing a launch, or doing a redesign — this is the right moment to get security right.
