the problem

Public-facing means every layer has to hold

starting point

An API-driven platform exposed to the public internet needed strong authentication, authorisation, traffic protection, backend isolation, encryption and traceability — a design where no single control carries the whole risk.

what i did

Layered design, then proof it actually enforces

engagement flow

How the engagement flowed

Three phases, three steps — click any step to see what happened and why it mattered.

outcome

Controls proven to hold under real conditions

Value created

Improved confidence that controls hold under real conditions, and a clearer basis for testing and go-live decisions.
