When your business data moves from a spreadsheet to a web application, security becomes a consideration. Here are the security features built into every application I deliver.
User Authentication
Every user has their own login. Passwords are hashed — even the database doesn’t store actual passwords.
Role-Based Access
Admin sees all data. Manager sees their department. Staff sees their own records.
HTTPS Encryption
All data transmitted between browser and application is encrypted. No one can intercept data in transit.
Input Validation
All user inputs are validated and sanitised. A date field only accepts dates. Form submissions are checked before processing.
Audit Trail
Changes to important records are logged: who changed what, when, and the previous value.
A spreadsheet on a shared drive has no access controls, no encryption, no audit trail, and no input validation. Moving to a web application is a significant security upgrade.
