Security at BeyondMed
Last updated: 15 July 2026
We build BeyondMed with security and privacy controls aligned to industry references such as OWASP ASVS and the OWASP Cheat Sheet Series. This page is a public summary — not an invitation to test the live system without permission.
1. Account protection
- Passwords are hashed with bcrypt (never stored in plain text).
- Sessions use an httpOnly, Secure, SameSite cookie (not readable by scripts).
- Signing out invalidates the session server-side.
- Login and registration are rate-limited to slow brute-force attempts.
- Roles and account status are checked on the server for every protected request.
2. Data protection
- HTTPS / TLS for traffic to beyondmed.in.
- Database access via authenticated MongoDB Atlas connections.
- Secrets (database URI, signing keys) live in server environment variables — not in the browser.
- API error messages avoid stack traces and secret leakage to clients.
- You can delete your account and associated personal data from the mentee profile (or by email).
3. Application hardening
- Security headers (including HSTS, frame denial, content-type nosniff).
- CORS restricted to BeyondMed front-end origins.
- Ownership checks so one mentee cannot access another mentee’s resources by changing IDs.
- Production seed/demo wipe scripts are blocked.
- Open public registration can be disabled in production configuration.
4. What we ask of you
- Use a unique, strong password.
- Sign out on shared devices.
- Do not share mentor or mentee portal screenshots that contain other people’s data.
- Report suspected vulnerabilities to security@beyondmed.in (please include steps to reproduce; do not exfiltrate user data).
5. Responsible disclosure
We welcome good-faith reports. We will acknowledge valid reports and work to remediate. Please give us a reasonable time to fix issues before public disclosure. Do not perform destructive testing, social engineering of staff, or attacks against other customers.
