Access rules, entity by entity
Who can create, read, update and delete every kind of record, checked against who should.
Security reviews
Find the gap before someone else does.
An entity with no access rules is open to everyone, even people who never signed in. I review your Base44 app's row-level security, backend functions and secrets, then test it the way someone trying to get in would.

RLS from day one
Who it's for
Sound familiar?
I review your Base44 app's access rules, backend functions and secrets, then test it like someone trying to get in. You get a plain-English report and the fixes.
- You're about to launch and nobody has checked who can see what.
- Your app holds customer data, payments or anything private.
- You built fast and the access rules were never the priority.
- Base44's security scan flagged things and you're not sure what they mean.
What you get
What you actually get.
01 02 Pen-testing style checks
I try to read other people's data, call functions while signed out and poke the edges, using test accounts.
03 Backend function checks
Does every function check who is calling it? Is the service role used only where it has to be?
04 Secrets and keys
Nothing sensitive in the frontend, nothing hard-coded, everything in secrets where it belongs.
05 A report you can read
Ranked by what would hurt most, in plain English, with fixes I can make or prompts you can run yourself.
How it goes
How it goes.
Five steps, in this order. You see progress at every one of them.
Step 01
Map it
Every entity, every role and who should be able to see what.
Step 02
Test it
As a stranger, as a normal user and as an admin, with test accounts.
Step 03
Report it
Findings ranked by impact, each with a clear fix.
Step 04
Fix it
I make the changes, or hand you paste-ready prompts if you'd rather do it yourself.
Step 05
Check again
Re-test the fixes and run the security scan one more time.

FAQ
Questions people ask.
Something else on your mind? Ask me. I answer everything myself.
Ask a questionThe platform handles a lot for you, like encryption and platform-level protection. But Base44's own docs say you're responsible for your app's security settings. Access rules are yours to get right, and an entity without them is open to everyone.
Testing doesn't need to change anything. I use test accounts and read what's there. Fixes only happen after you've seen the report and said yes.
No, and be wary of anyone who says they can. A review catches the common, costly mistakes, like open entities, unchecked functions and exposed keys. Keep running the security scan whenever you add entities or change rules.
Yes, and you should. Run Base44's security scan from the dashboard, then read my glossary entry on row-level security. If it all makes sense, you might not need me.
