Secure Backends for
Zero-Trust Platforms.

Move beyond “auth bolted on.” We engineer secure backend systems with identity-first access, encryption by default, and audit-grade observability—so your platform ships fast without failing compliance.

Beyond the Security Patch.
Controls, Not Promises.

Many backends fail because security arrives late: scattered auth, missing audit trails, weak secrets handling, and unclear ownership. We build identity-first systems where controls are part of the architecture—not a checklist.

The Backend Failure Pattern

What most “build teams” ship:

  • Auth Bolted On

    Inconsistent JWT validation, weak session hygiene, and missing mTLS.

  • No Audit Reality

    Changes aren’t traceable; incidents become guesswork.

  • Secrets Sprawl

    Keys in env files; rotations break prod; least-privilege is absent.

The Coretus Security Standard

Production-grade controls:

  • Identity + Policy Enforcement

    Centralized authN/authZ, RBAC/ABAC, and service-to-service trust boundaries.

  • Encryption + Secrets Discipline

    TLS/mTLS, KMS patterns, rotation strategy, and least-privilege access.

  • Audit Trails + Incident Readiness

    Immutable logs, traceability, alerts, and secure operational runbooks.

Trust is a System Property.
