Tepia makes security decisions in Discovery and Design, when changes are easiest, and writes them into the User Stories the build follows.

Tepia builds security and compliance into custom software: encryption in transit and at rest, least privilege access, audit logs, HIPAA aware architecture, PCI DSS scoping and SOC 2 aligned practices. Security is designed in from Discovery, not audited in later.

Most breaches involve a human element like stolen credentials or phishing, according to Verizon's DBIR.
A majority of successful attacks exploit vulnerabilities with patches already available, per industry incident research.
Tepia clients report about 90 percent customer retention, and trust in how data is handled is part of that.
Security added after launch is a list of patches. Security designed in is architecture: where data lives, who can touch it, what gets logged, and what an attacker reaches if one layer fails. Tepia makes these decisions in Discovery and Design, when changes are easiest, and writes them into the User Stories the build follows.
Over thirteen years Tepia has built for hospitals, payment flows and enterprise buyers whose security teams ask hard questions. The habits that survive those reviews, least privilege, encryption everywhere, honest audit logs, are the default on every Tepia build.
| Control | What Tepia implements |
|---|---|
| Encryption | TLS in transit, encryption at rest, managed keys on AWS, Azure or GCP |
| Access control | Role based permissions, least privilege, MFA on admin surfaces |
| Audit logging | Who did what and when, on records that matter, tamper resistant |
| Session security | Secure token handling, expiry, device revocation |
| Payment handling | Tokenization through Stripe and Square, PAN never stored |
| PHI handling | HIPAA aware data flows, vendor BAAs, minimum necessary access |
| Privacy | GDPR and CCPA data handling, retention and deletion paths |
For B2B products, security review is part of the sales cycle. Enterprise buyers send questionnaires, healthcare clients require BAAs, and payment partners audit scope. Tepia builds so those reviews go well: architecture diagrams that exist, controls that match the answers, and PCI scope kept small by never touching card data directly.
Tepia supports clients through security questionnaires and coordinates penetration testing with third party testers before enterprise launches, so findings surface on your schedule rather than a buyer’s.
Discovery classifies your data (what is PHI, what is payment, what is merely private) and maps every system that touches it, producing an Investigation Summary with the compliance obligations spelled out. Design writes the controls into wireframes and User Stories: what each role sees, what gets logged, how consent and deletion work.
Development and Testing include non functional security checks alongside features, and Launch includes hardening review of infrastructure and access. Support keeps dependencies patched, because most real world incidents exploit known, unpatched issues. A US based Tepia project manager runs the engagement, and existing products can start with a focused security review.
Three common moments: a build is starting and the data is sensitive from day one, an enterprise deal arrived with a questionnaire attached, or a product grew into healthcare or payments and the architecture has not caught up. In each case the work starts with the same review of data, access and logging.
Security work pairs with cloud architecture and Tepia’s HIPAA aware healthcare work, and every new Tepia build inherits these defaults.
