Unverified access controls
Customer data access hadn't been reviewed to confirm each customer could only see their own information.
AI-ASSISTED DEVELOPMENT CASE STUDY
Strengthening a Cursor-built customer portal for secure self-service
A self-service portal developed with Cursor where customers manage profiles, requests, documents, payments, and service history, hardened for secure production use.
▣ Access controls verified for customer data protection
♙ Document handling secured against exposure risks
✦ Payment workflows reviewed before going live
Making a self-service portal safe to hold real customer data
A customer portal built with Cursor can offer the right self-service experience, but customers trusting it with personal documents and payments need confidence that access controls and data handling are genuinely secure.
This engagement reviews the AI-generated portal's authentication, document handling, and payment workflows, hardening each before real customers begin managing their information through it.
