The Security Review Every RAXXO Tool Passes Before Launch

Description and use

A fixed five‑check security review is applied to every RAXXO tool, ensuring consistent protection and preventing data leaks.

Problem

Developers often skip security checks when tired or under deadline pressure, leading to overlooked vulnerabilities.

Outcome

The checklist caught a wide‑scope dependency and unnecessary logging before any customer exposure, preventing potential data leaks and reducing future maintenance risk.

Workflow

• 1. Identify all user input points and treat them as untrusted.
• 2. Verify that any stored data is necessary and stored securely or removed.
• 3. Ensure all network traffic is encrypted and minimal.
• 4. Review third‑party libraries for unnecessary permissions or broad access.
• 5. Test failure paths to confirm the tool fails closed and does not expose sensitive data.

Evidence

The review has caught real problems twice this year, both before a single customer saw them

None of these five checks need special tooling or a dedicated afternoon
