System Integrity

Software that stays up, stays correct, and recovers fast

Security keeps attackers out; integrity keeps the system trustworthy day to day — correct data, predictable uptime, and a clean recovery path when something fails. We engineer for all three, because an application that's secure but unreliable still loses you customers.

Pillars

What we mean by integrity

📊

Data integrity

Validation, foreign-key constraints and transactions so your data stays consistent — no half-finished writes or silent corruption.

🔄

Reliable deployments

Version control, staging environments and reversible releases, so a bad deploy is a quick rollback rather than a midnight emergency.

💾

Backups that actually restore

Automated, encrypted backups — and we test the restore, because an untested backup is just a hope.

📡

Monitoring & alerting

Uptime, error rates and performance watched continuously, with alerts that reach a human before customers notice.

Change tracking

Every change recorded — who changed what, when — so problems are traceable and audits are simple.

🛡

Graceful failure

Systems designed to degrade safely under load or partial outage instead of falling over completely.

File & config integrity

Knowing when something changes that shouldn't

For systems that need it, we add integrity monitoring so unauthorised changes to critical files or configuration are detected, not assumed away.

Checksums
File-hash baselines to detect unexpected modification
Config drift
Alerts when production configuration diverges from the approved baseline
Access logs
Tamper-evident logging of who touched what
Dependency pinning
Locked, verified dependency versions so builds are reproducible

Check your site's integrity basics

The self-assessment tool flags the foundational gaps — missing HTTPS, exposed config files, absent security headers — that undermine integrity before anything else can.
