Security & Compliance

Enterprise-grade security
from day one.

We treat every client's IP and data with the same diligence as a full-time hire. That means NDAs before code, zero data leakage, and complete IP assignment — guaranteed.

Security-first by default
Core Commitments
NDA on Day One
Every engagement begins with a mutual NDA signed before any code is written or specs shared. Your ideas are protected from the first conversation.
IP Ownership
You own 100% of the code. We formally assign all intellectual property rights to you upon payment — no grey areas, no licensing traps.
Secure Development
Encrypted communications, private repositories, and least-privilege access controls across every project. No client code ever touches personal devices.
Data Handling
We never store client data outside agreed environments. GDPR-aware data handling practices are applied by default, not as an add-on.
Access Controls
Role-based access is provisioned per project. Offboarding is immediate and fully auditable — revoked access leaves no dangling credentials.
Confidentiality
All team members are individually bound by confidentiality agreements. No public case studies, blog posts, or portfolio entries without your explicit written consent.
Compliance Awareness
GDPR
EU data protection — practices aligned
CCPA
California consumer privacy — practices aligned
HIPAA-Aware
Healthcare data handling — not certified, practices aligned
SOC 2 Awareness
Security controls aligned with SOC 2 principles
Important note on certifications: Appsurd is a product development studio — not a SaaS vendor maintaining its own infrastructure for third-party auditing. We are not SOC 2 certified or HIPAA certified. However, the software we build and the processes we follow are designed to align with these frameworks. We advise clients on compliance requirements and build systems that support their own certification goals.
How It Works
01
NDA & Kickoff Call
Mutual NDA executed digitally before any details are shared. Scoping begins only after both parties are protected.
02
Private Workspace Setup
Dedicated private repos, isolated cloud environments, and role-based access provisioned per team member.
03
Development & Review
All code lives in client-owned or client-approved repositories. Internal code review catches security issues before delivery.
04
IP Transfer on Payment
Full IP assignment executed at project close. You own everything — code, assets, documentation, infrastructure configs.
05
Immediate Offboarding
When the engagement ends, all access is revoked immediately and confirmed. Audit trail available on request.
