Integration Security Best Practices

The controls security teams ask about before approving an integration.

Example
Purpose
Pass enterprise security review the first time.
Prerequisites
  • Threat model of the data exchanged
Architecture
Trust boundaries: browser ↔ portal backend ↔ Integration Lab. Credentials only exist in the middle tier.

Configuration

TransportTLS 1.2+ everywhere

Implementation steps

  1. 01Least-privilege scopes per client.
  2. 02Server-side secret storage with rotation.
  3. 03Signature verification on all inbound events.
  4. 04Short-lived, single-use launch tokens.
  5. 05Structured audit logging without PII in URLs.
  6. 06Documented data retention for proctoring evidence.

Testing procedure

  • Attempt each call with a lower-privileged token and assert 403

Troubleshooting

Security review blocks go-live

Usually credential handling or evidence retention; both are answerable with this section.
