Security

Security and data-handling guidance for this build.

TheBioBook is designed around account-based access, attendee-controlled publishing, and event-level workflow separation. This page keeps the language clear and honest about what this build does and what production deployment should add.

Included in this build

  • Password-protected attendee and organizer accounts.
  • Event pages tied to meeting codes and user flow status.
  • Attendee control over published contact fields.
  • Separate event-specific notes so temporary meeting context does not overwrite a core BioBook.

Recommended for production deployment

  • HTTPS across the full site and any related subdomains.
  • Restricted write permissions for data and upload directories.
  • Routine backups and recovery procedures.
  • Server monitoring, software updates, and access logging.
  • Formal review of retention, privacy, and legal language before public launch.
