Security check

German:Sicherheits-Check

Five questions you use to check a project folder regularly.

Is internal material in the public area? Are credentials stored in plain text, including in the history? Is the repository private or public? Does the .gitignore have gaps? Is personal data stored in plain text? For every finding you note the severity and a fix in one sentence.

Example from Module 2

The security check can run weekly as a scheduled task.

Module 2: “Protecting data: encapsulate and check”. In the Werkbank course room, with sign-in.
