Who writes our content
Every article is authored and reviewed by working members of the BackDoor security team — penetration testers and application-security engineers, not anonymous freelancers. Each post carries a byline linking to the author and their profile.
How we produce an article
We start from real search demand and a structured brief: the target topic, the questions readers actually ask, and how competing sources answer them. Drafting may be AI-assisted, but every article is fact-checked and edited by a human security engineer before it is published.
We test claims against how a real attacker or defender would work — not just how a topic reads in theory.
Sources and standards
Technical guidance is grounded in recognized references — OWASP (including the Top 10 and API Top 10), NIST SP 800-115, the PTES methodology, and the official documentation of the frameworks we discuss (SOC 2, ISO 27001, PCI DSS v4.0, GDPR). Where we cite a standard, we link to the primary source.
Accuracy and honesty
We do not overstate what automated testing can do. A fast, autonomous black-box scan is powerful for coverage and continuous testing, but it is not a substitute for human red-teaming on the hardest engagements, and it is not a regulatory attestation such as DORA TLPT. Compliance content describes how findings map to a framework — we do not issue certifications.
Corrections and updates
Security moves quickly, so we revisit and update articles as tools, threats, and standards change; significant updates are dated. If you spot an error, email [email protected] and we will review and correct it.
Editorial independence
Our guides exist to be genuinely useful. Where an article mentions BackDoor, it is clearly the product context — editorial content is not sold, and a topic is never covered simply because it favors us.
