Enterprise Security Features
Battle-tested security infrastructure protecting your API from day one. CORS, rate limiting, input validation, SQL injection protection, XSS prevention, and comprehensive audit logging — all enabled by default.
Security Without the Overhead
Most security vulnerabilities come from missing basics. Baasix implements them all automatically.
Security isn't optional — it's foundational. Baasix comes with enterprise-grade security measures enabled out of the box. From network-level protections like CORS and rate limiting, to application-level defenses against injection attacks and XSS, to audit logging for compliance — your API is protected from the moment you deploy. No security expertise required, but full configurability available when you need it.
- CORS configuration with origin whitelisting
- Rate limiting per endpoint, per user, or globally
- Input validation and sanitization on all requests
- SQL injection protection via parameterized queries
- XSS prevention with output encoding
- CSRF protection for session-based auth
- Security headers (HSTS, X-Frame-Options, CSP) auto-configured
- Comprehensive audit logging for compliance
Security That Doesn't Slow You Down
Implementing security properly takes expertise and time. Baasix handles it for you.
✓ With Baasix
- All security measures enabled by default
- Rate limiting with intelligent backoff
- Audit logs with user attribution
- One-line CORS configuration
- Security headers automatically applied
✗ Traditional Approach
- Research and implement each security layer
- Build custom rate limiting middleware
- Create logging infrastructure for audits
- Configure CORS manually (often incorrectly)
- Remember to add each security header
Defense in Depth
CORS Protection
Whitelist allowed origins, methods, and headers. Prevent unauthorized cross-origin requests while enabling legitimate integrations.
Rate Limiting
Protect against abuse with configurable rate limits. Per-IP, per-user, or per-endpoint. Automatic backoff and retry-after headers.
Input Validation
All incoming data is validated and sanitized. Schema-based validation catches malformed requests before they reach your logic.
Injection Protection
SQL injection impossible with parameterized queries. NoSQL injection prevented through strict type checking. LDAP injection blocked.
XSS Prevention
Output encoding prevents stored and reflected XSS attacks. Content-Type headers enforced. Script injection attempts logged and blocked.
Audit Logging
Every API request logged with user attribution. Track who did what, when. Essential for security audits and compliance requirements.
Advanced Security Measures
Beyond the basics, Baasix includes sophisticated security features.
- Session limiting — control concurrent sessions per user with automatic revocation
- Brute force protection — automatic lockout after failed login attempts
- Password policies — enforce complexity, expiration, and history requirements
- IP blacklisting — block known malicious IPs at the network level
- Request signing — optional HMAC signature verification for sensitive endpoints
- Encrypted at rest — sensitive data fields can be encrypted in the database
- PII masking — automatic redaction of sensitive fields in logs
Security for Every Industry
Whether you're handling personal data or financial transactions, Baasix has you covered.
Healthcare & HIPAA
Audit logging, access controls, and encryption support help meet HIPAA requirements for protected health information.
Financial Services
Rate limiting prevents abuse, audit trails track every transaction, and encryption protects sensitive financial data.
E-commerce & Payments
Protect customer data, prevent fraud with rate limiting, and maintain PCI compliance with secure data handling.
SaaS Platforms
Multi-tenant isolation ensures customer data separation. API keys and OAuth keep integrations secure.
Security FAQ
Can I disable security features for development?
Yes, but we recommend against it. You can relax CORS and rate limits in development mode while keeping injection protection active. This helps catch issues early.
How do I review audit logs?
Audit logs are queryable through the API like any collection. Filter by user, action, resource, or time range. Export to external SIEM systems for advanced analysis.
Is Baasix SOC 2 compliant?
Baasix provides the technical controls needed for SOC 2 compliance. Combined with proper operational procedures on your end, you can achieve certification.
How do I report a security vulnerability?
We take security seriously. Email security@baasix.dev for responsible disclosure. We acknowledge reports within 24 hours and provide updates on fixes.
