Platform Security Architecture
Overview
As our client’s platform evolved from prototype to production, the platform required a comprehensive security foundation capable of protecting sensitive financial data, enforcing access controls, and maintaining user trust — all while preserving the agility needed for rapid feature delivery.
Our Solution
Analytic Strategies designed and implemented a defense-in-depth security model for the company’s ecosystem, combining architectural best practices with modern, edge-native enforcement.
The security framework included:
Zero-trust access controls between cloud deployments, database provider, and internal APIs
Role-based Row-Level Security (RLS) in the database for all user and portfolio data
JWT-based authentication tokens signed at the edge and verified across services
Secure secrets management and environment isolation (dev, stage, prod)
Audit logging and structured observability for all authentication and billing events
Integration of Payment provider webhooks with signature validation for safe subscription updates
We embedded security into the platform’s design — not as a separate layer, but as a core component of the architecture.
Impact
Our client’s platform now operates on a secure-by-design architecture, balancing speed, scale, and trust.
This foundation not only safeguards user data but also enables rapid, compliant innovation across new features and integrations.
Full data isolation between users and environments
Zero credential exposure across frontend and worker layers
Consistent access enforcement at the database, API, and UI levels
Verified integrity of all billing and authentication transactions
