Security
Access only what is needed.
A production operating model should minimise access, protect secrets and keep customer environments under customer control.
Intended security model.
These controls should be implemented operationally before accepting production customer access.
Access
Least privilege.
Time-bounded accounts, scoped repositories and no shared permanent credentials.
Secrets
Never in forms.
Use a secure secrets manager or approved sharing mechanism for credentials.
Data
Minimise retention.
Collect only what is needed for the engagement and define deletion/retention rules.
Payments
Hosted checkout.
Card data should go directly to a PCI-compliant payment provider, not CodedWorld’s static pages.
Change
Controlled deployment.
Use branches, approvals, logs and rollback paths for production changes.
Evidence
Document actions.
Keep concise records of findings, changes and customer-approved next steps.
