How it works
Score seven controls
Each control earns partial or full credit from evidence rather than a yes/no claim.
Prioritize the weakest layer
The result surfaces gaps that can expose data or prevent recovery before lower-risk hardening.
Frequently asked questions
Does a high score mean the product is secure?
No. It indicates coverage of a small baseline from self-reported inputs. Threat modeling, code review, testing and operational evidence are still needed.
Does this checklist prove compliance?
No. Regulatory and contractual requirements need qualified review and auditable evidence.
Should an MVP build authentication from scratch?
Usually a mature managed approach reduces avoidable risk, but the product must still configure authorization, recovery and session behavior correctly.
Why test restore instead of only checking backups?
A backup that cannot be restored within the required time does not provide reliable recovery.
