Zero-Trust Web Application: TLS 1.3 and Penetration Testing
A GDPR-compliant web application with zero-trust architecture, TLS 1.3 encryption and regular penetration tests. Protects business-critical data against current cyber threats.
Solution example: how we implement a project like this. It does not describe a single client project.
Security First
Initial situation & goals
Data security and compliance are critical when you handle sensitive data. Typical starting point: a web application that has grown over the years processes personal data, but its security architecture is out of date. This solution example shows how we build a secure web application that complies with the GDPR, the EU's General Data Protection Regulation.
The problem
Challenges
Security risks
Outdated encryption puts data at risk.
Compliance
Manual checks are error-prone.
Certification
Missing security certificates reduce trust.
