Security Best Practices

📋 Planned

Documentation Under Construction

This page will outline security best practices for deploying Vanna in production, including authentication, authorization, data protection, and audit logging.

Planned Content

✓ Authentication security (token validation, secure cookies)
✓ Authorization best practices (principle of least privilege)
✓ Data protection (SQL injection prevention, sensitive data handling)
✓ Rate limiting and abuse prevention
✓ Audit logging and monitoring
✓ Secrets management (API keys, database credentials)
✓ Network security (HTTPS, CORS configuration)
✓ Security checklist for production deployments

Security Layers

When complete, this will cover:

1. Authentication Security

Use HTTPS in production (always)
Secure token storage and transmission
Token expiration and refresh
Multi-factor authentication support

2. Authorization

Implement least-privilege access
Use group-based access control
Regular permission audits
Row-level security for sensitive data

3. Data Protection

SQL injection prevention (parameterized queries)
Sensitive data filtering
PII handling and masking
Encryption at rest and in transit

4. Monitoring & Auditing

Enable audit logging
Monitor for suspicious activity
Set up alerts for anomalies
Regular security reviews

5. Infrastructure Security

Secure API keys and credentials (environment variables, secret managers)
Configure CORS properly
Rate limiting to prevent abuse
Regular dependency updates
