Security isn't a sprint, it's a set of defaults. The good news: most of OWASP's Top 10 can be covered with a disciplined baseline.

  • Parameterized queries (ORM by default)
  • Zod/yup validation on every boundary
  • Helmet + strict CSP
  • bcrypt + argon2 + rate-limited auth
  • Audit logging for every mutation

None of this is new. What matters is enforcing it uniformly from day one so security stays invisible to your team and painful to your attackers.
