Understand how financial records, permissions, operational workflows, and integrations should be evaluated before you build on a platform.
Concept diagram · dashed layer = external, verify per integration
What a trustworthy platform should document — each item links to verified documentation.
Authentication & authorization
How users and services prove who they are and what they may do.
Roles & permission boundaries
Which roles exist and where their access stops.
Credentials & secrets
How API keys are issued, stored, rotated, and revoked.
Environment separation
How sandbox and production data stay apart.
Data access & retention
Who can read which records, and how long they are kept.
Incident reporting & support
How issues are reported, communicated, and escalated.
Don’t present a control as implemented until it has been verified.
