Security and privacy foundation in VATranscribe
What Stage 2 added: refresh token rotation, legal consents, audit logs, file ownership checks, rate limits and privacy requests.
Security before growth
A media SaaS product stores sensitive workflow metadata and may process user-submitted files. Security and privacy controls should be added before public growth begins.
Implemented foundation
- Refresh token rotation for stronger session handling.
- Backend password policy during registration.
- Required legal document acceptance during signup.
- Audit logs for security-relevant events.
- Ownership checks for user media assets.
- Rate limits on sensitive authentication endpoints.
- Privacy request model, router and audit trail.
Why it matters
These controls reduce direct object access risk, make user consent traceable and prepare the project for production readiness work in a later stage.
