Trust & Security

Built like it's
your infrastructure.

Because it is. How we handle security, code quality, and client agreements — written down, so your procurement team doesn't have to ask.

Engineering Practices

How We Build

🔍
Code Review on Every Delivery

All code is reviewed before it reaches your staging environment. No direct-to-production changes — every release moves through version control with a full history you can inspect.

🔐
Credential Handling

Client credentials live in a password manager with per-project vaults — never in email, chat, or code. Access is revoked at project close, and we'll sign your access policy if you have one.

🧪
Isolated Staging

Every project gets an isolated staging environment. You approve on staging before anything touches production. Rollback plans exist before deploys, not after incidents.

📦
Dependency Hygiene

Plugins and packages are vetted before use and kept current during retainers. We build custom over bolting on unmaintained third-party code — fewer dependencies, smaller attack surface.

🛡️
Hardened WordPress

Login protection, XML-RPC disabled, file-edit lockdown, least-privilege roles, automated backups, and security headers as standard — not as an upsell.

📊
Performance Budgets

Lighthouse and Core Web Vitals are checked before launch and monitored on retainers. Performance is a deliverable with numbers, not a promise.

Data & Compliance

Your Data, Your Rules

GDPR-Aware Development

We build with EU data protection in mind — consent-first analytics, cookie compliance, data-minimal forms, and EU hosting options. We've delivered for German clients where GDPR isn't optional.

NDAs — Yes, Happily

We sign your NDA before the first discovery call if you prefer. Several of our client engagements are under NDA today; you'll notice some portfolio entries stay vague on purpose.

IP Assignment

All code, designs, and assets are assigned to you on final payment. No licensing lock-in, no proprietary frameworks holding your site hostage. You get the repositories.

Payment Protection

Fixed-price milestones mean you pay for delivered, approved work. Prefer escrow? We work through Upwork's escrow system on request — your funds release only when you approve.

Regulated-Industry Experience

We've built payment-gateway integrations (Stripe, Wise, PayPal), medical clinic sites, and B2B platforms handling wholesale pricing data — projects where a data leak isn't an inconvenience, it's a liability.

Continuity

What If Something Happens?

Founder-Led, Network-Backed

StackMesh is founder-led — you talk to the person writing the code, not an account manager. Behind that is a vetted network of specialists (design, DevOps, QA) engaged per-project. Small enough to care, connected enough to scale.

Everything Documented

Handover documentation is a standard deliverable: architecture notes, deployment steps, credentials inventory, and content-editing guides. Any competent developer can pick up where we left off — that's the test we hold ourselves to.

30-Day Bug Guarantee

Anything broken within 30 days of launch is fixed free, no argument. After that, retainers from $299/month cover updates, security, backups, and monitoring.
