Authentication
Verify supported authentication methods and enforcement in the specific system.
Security
Security is scope-specific.
Review the people, process, application, infrastructure, product, data, AI, delivery, and supplier boundaries for the actual system. Proposed practices are not evidence that a control is deployed or independently tested.
Assessment domain
Identity & Access
Authorization
Document roles, permission boundaries, and least-privilege tests for the agreed scope.
Privileged Access
Confirm named accounts, approval, duration, logging, and revocation procedures.
Access Lifecycle
Define request, approval, review, role change, and offboarding ownership.
Assessment domain
Data & Privacy
Data Classification
Identify public, internal, confidential, and restricted information and its handling rules.
Encryption
Verify transport/storage coverage, key ownership, and configuration for the selected stack.
Data Lifecycle
Agree purpose, minimization, retention, export, deletion, backup expiry, and exceptions.
Secrets
Confirm where credentials are stored, who can use them, and how they are revoked or rotated.
Assessment domain
Application & Development
Architecture Review
Identify assets, trust boundaries, threat assumptions, and proportionate mitigations.
Code Review
Agree required reviewers, tests, approvals, and deployment evidence.
Dependencies
Confirm dependency, license, and vulnerability review practices for the project.
API & Uploads
Review authentication, authorization, validation, rate limits, file handling, and abuse cases.
Assessment domain
Infrastructure & Operations
Environment Boundaries
Record hosting, provider, region, network, and environment boundaries.
Logging & Monitoring
Agree signals, redaction, retention, alert ownership, coverage, and escalation.
Vulnerability Handling
Define report intake, prioritization, remediation owner, verification, and disclosure.
Continuity
Document backup scope, restore evidence, dependencies, and recovery commitments.
Evidence boundary
Verify controls in the named environment.
These are review domains, not a checklist of controls APPNEURAL claims are operating. Confirm implementation owner, system scope, configuration, test date, result, exceptions, and evidence. SSO, MFA, encryption settings, scanning, logging, monitoring coverage, penetration testing, and certification must each be verified independently.
Identity and access lifecycleSecure delivery lifecycle
Plan, review, test, release, and learn.
For each engagement, define security requirements, architecture and threat assumptions, implementation boundaries, review and test gates, deployment approvals, monitoring ownership, and incident responsibilities. The sequence is a delivery framework, not a statement that every gate is currently enforced across APPNEURAL environments.

Make requirements explicit.
A security assessment should identify the service, system boundary, data, evidence needed, owner, and decision deadline.
