Baseline controls
Enforce HTTPS, secret management, least-privilege access, automated backups and uptime alerting. NexaPhaze treats these as launch requirements, not optional extras.

Right-sizing for stage
Startups need observable simplicity first. Add complexity when compliance or scale demands it — not because a checklist looked impressive.
