Security & Performance Engineering
Fortified, lightning-fast infrastructure
Overview
Security and performance are not afterthoughts — they are engineering disciplines that must be built into a product from the beginning. We help businesses proactively harden their web applications against modern threats and engineer measurable speed improvements that directly impact revenue.
The Challenge
We typically engage with businesses that have a live product with security vulnerabilities they haven't yet addressed, performance issues that are affecting user retention or SEO rankings, or compliance requirements that mandate a formal security audit.
Our Approach
Baseline performance audit using Lighthouse, WebPageTest, and custom profiling
Security vulnerability assessment following the OWASP Top 10 framework
WAF configuration (Cloudflare or AWS WAF) for edge-level threat filtering
SSL/TLS hardening, HSTS enforcement, and security headers implementation
Image pipeline optimisation (WebP/AVIF), JS bundle splitting, CDN caching strategy
Post-engagement performance benchmark and security posture report
What We Deliver
- Full performance audit report (before & after benchmarks)
- Security vulnerability assessment with severity ratings
- WAF setup and DDoS mitigation configuration
- SSL/TLS hardening and security headers
- Image optimisation pipeline and CDN caching setup
- Ongoing monitoring and alerting configuration
Technical Highlights
- Cloudflare WAF with custom rulesets for application-specific threats
- OWASP ZAP and Burp Suite for penetration testing
- Core Web Vitals improvement targeting LCP < 2.5s, CLS < 0.1, INP < 200ms
- HTTP security headers: HSTS, CSP, X-Frame-Options, Referrer-Policy
