Software Security Services

With a proven expertise in secure software development and software security assurance Kanda helps
clients to create state-of-the-art secure applications, assess and significantly increase security level of
the existing software solutions.

Kanda software development teams have been working in Security Sector for decades helping
companies, whose core competence is Application Security. We transfer this knowledge and best
practices to assist clients ranging from startups to large enterprises in a variety of industries in
ensuring the protection of their data and applications.

Developing secure software is no longer desirable, but absolutely essential. With an increasing Cloud and Data Analytics
adoption assessing and ensuring security of the data has become a major concern for companies ranging from early
stage online ventures to large enterprises. Despite common misconception, main security threats arise not from
networking layers and operating systems, but from applications themselves.

Building Secure Application Architecture

The process of creating application architecture should always be undergone with the security in mind. Unless it is, implementing security
policies after the application or software is already on the market will not be of much use in drastically decreasing system vulnerabilities.

There are several key steps that can help better understand the security requirements:

1. Architecture
Architecture

Describe existing architecture in detail. Break down software architecture into
individual tiers

Best application architecture approach is to have multiple layers to separate various functional
parts of the system into logical blocks. For example, front-end, mid-tier and data management
layer. This approach allows applying different security methods and practices to each layer
minimizing a threat of the breach.

2. Coding
Coding

Define and describe existing coding practices.

The majority of the commonly exploited vulnerabilities are the result of poor software
development coding practices. At Kanda we leverage best programming techniques for every
language paired with our rigorous integrated quality assurance processes. This approach
minimizes the number of software “bugs” created in the process and, subsequently, the amount
of time to fix them.

3. Security
Security

Do you have security assurance? What is the application testing process, if it exists

Formal security and quality assurance program is the best approach to ensure proper
application development process. All application modifications should undergo both
automated and manual testing, including full performance and vulnerability testing before the
commercial deployment.

4. Testing
Testing

What vulnerability and testing methodology is used?

Web-application and SaaS systems should be routinely tested for vulnerabilities to ensure that
application enhancements, server upgrades and new feature rollouts will not lead to security
vulnerabilities.

Ensuring Data Security

No matter what web-based application solution you are developing or planning to develop, most likely it will
contain sensitive user data that needs to be protected.

With online and mobile payments on the rise, protecting customer data has become important like never before.
Business application domain is a special case that requires sophisticated encryption and security algorithms.

Applications that store personal information along with the payment information are a subject to multiple compliance
regulations like HIPAA and PCI-DSS.

Kanda Software has mastered the process of customer data protection while in transit or when stored in the database
without additional hassle to the end user.

Security is a critical goal when developing a cloud-based service or application. Kanda software experienced
development teams can help you to deliver state-of-the-art solutions that are secure and user-friendly without the loss of
functionality.
