Web application security solution for medtech company

Problem

Security is a top priority for any website, especially those that deal with sensitive information such as medical and/or laboratory data. In addition, as the number of users grows, managing user accounts, including forgotten password scenarios, becomes increasingly difficult. The client, a medtech company, needed a solution that would provide secure access and user management for their website without requiring significant time and resources to develop and maintain.

Solution

For this particular client, Nubis implemented a solution using Auth0, a secure access provider, to handle authentication and account creation. By using a third-party provider, we were able to leverage their expertise and keep development time and costs to a minimum.

To provide a more integrated experience for the client, we used Auth0 only for account creation and authentication. We built a local database of users, which stored additional relevant user information. User roles were used to assign permissions, which determined what users could access and what actions they could perform on the website.

By implementing a role-based security system, we were able to ensure that only authorized users had access to sensitive information. This helped maintain data confidentiality, and it made it easy to manage user accounts, reducing the burden on the client’s IT department.

Conclusion

Our web application security solution allowed the medtech company to provide a secure, user-friendly experience for their customers without requiring significant time or resources to develop and maintain. By leveraging our expertise and utilizing a third-party provider, we were able to deliver a robust, cost-effective solution that met the client’s needs and helped them stay ahead of evolving security standards.
