The Founder-Friendly Security Checklist for AI-Built Products
Security does not need to be mysterious. If your app handles user data, payments, or internal workflows, these checks reduce your biggest risks quickly.
Checklist before every launch
- Secrets and API keys are never shipped in frontend bundles
- Authorization checks are enforced server-side for every role
- User input is validated and sanitized on all boundaries
- High-risk dependencies are patched or replaced
- Security events are logged and monitored
Checklist after launch
- Run periodic vulnerability scans
- Rotate credentials for critical services
- Audit access permissions and stale accounts
- Document response playbooks for incidents
Most teams can reach a much stronger security baseline in one focused sprint without blocking product velocity.
