The platform safeguards above describe Specula’s own application. Client websites and automations have their own hosting, tools, and access requirements. We document the applicable controls and responsibilities in each project agreement; no website or integration can be guaranteed free of security risks.
Websites and online stores
We define the security requirements for each build, including HTTPS, protected administrator access, server-side input validation, and appropriate spam controls. When payments are included, we integrate a payment provider’s supported checkout rather than store card details in the website.
Automation and connected systems
Connections require the client’s authorization and suitable permissions. We agree on which systems and data a workflow can access, use the minimum permissions the integration supports, and define approval steps for sensitive actions. Compatibility and access requirements are confirmed before implementation.
Credentials and project handover
Private credentials belong in server-side configuration or an appropriate secrets service. Project handover identifies account ownership, administrator access, and how project access should be removed when it is no longer needed. Clients retain responsibility for the accounts and permissions they control.
Maintenance and ongoing protection
The project agreement identifies who handles software updates, backups, recovery, monitoring, and security-related support. These services and their frequency depend on the agreed scope and hosting setup; ongoing maintenance and continuous monitoring are not automatically included with a website launch.
