Secure Web Development & Small Business Cyber Security
See how Creeley Digital approaches secure website and software development, independent penetration testing, client data handling and practical cyber resources.
Security without theatre.
Useful controls, honest boundaries and clear ownership. CDS reduces avoidable risk in the build, explains what is covered and never pretends one checklist makes a system invulnerable.
Security built into the work
For applicable builds, CDS maps trust boundaries, separates public and privileged actions, validates input, enforces authorisation on the server and limits what each role can access.
Secure session, access and environment decisions
Dependency, secret and configuration review
Backups, logging and recovery ownership agreed in scope
No private form values in marketing analytics
Controls are selected against the actual system and risk—not copied blindly into every project.
Pen test facilitation
A real penetration test is an authorised, scoped attempt to identify exploitable weaknesses. CDS does not sell routine launch checks as a penetration test.
CDS can prepare the application, test accounts and rules of engagement
A suitably qualified independent specialist performs the agreed assessment
Findings are prioritised, fixed and retested where included
Scope, limitations and evidence stay visible in the report
How client work is protected
Security also lives away from the code. CDS keeps access deliberate and reduces the amount of client information sitting in casual places.
Encrypted, auto-locking work devices and protected accounts
Multi-factor authentication and unique credentials managed securely
Client access is limited to the tools and time required for the work
Development, test and live environments are kept deliberately separate
Secrets and sensitive records are not requested through ordinary chat
Two physical backups of active business and project data are made weekly—one held onsite in a fireproof safe and one held offsite, with the offsite storage location rotated
Project-specific handling requirements are confirmed before sensitive access is shared.
Decide what needs protection first
Security choices should follow the information, people and consequences involved—not a badge or a generic checklist.
Identify what information the build will hold
Limit collection and access to what the work genuinely needs
Agree who owns retention, deletion and recovery decisions
Bring in independent specialist review when the risk exceeds CDS's scope
The boundary is documented before sensitive access or production data is shared.
Protect the business before the breach.
The Australian Cyber Security Centre recommends small businesses start with multi-factor authentication, software updates and reliable backups. Training, an incident plan and clear ownership turn those controls into a working habit.
A secure build starts with an honest boundary.
Tell CDS what the system will hold, who needs access and what happens if it stops. That is enough to begin a responsible scope.
