How Do You Ensure Halifax Web Applications Are Secure?

Security isn’t an afterthought — it’s built into every layer of our development process. As an IT security company first, we treat application security with the same rigor we apply to enterprise infrastructure.

Secure Development Practices

Security by Design: Security considerations from the first line of code, not bolted on later. Threat modeling during architecture phase, secure coding standards and practices, regular security code reviews, and automated security scanning throughout development.

Authentication & Authorization: Multi-factor authentication (MFA) support, role-based access control (RBAC), session management and timeout policies, password policies and secure storage (bcrypt, Argon2), and protection against brute force attacks.

Input Validation & Sanitization: All user input validated and sanitized, protection against SQL injection, prevention of cross-site scripting (XSS), CSRF token protection, and secure file upload handling.

Data Protection: Encryption at rest and in transit (TLS/SSL), sensitive data encrypted in database, secure API key and credential management, compliance with PHIA, PIPEDA, GDPR where applicable, and proper data retention and deletion procedures.

Infrastructure Security

Secure Hosting Environment: Isolated application environments, firewall configuration and network security, regular security patches and updates, intrusion detection and monitoring, and DDoS protection.

Database Security: Encrypted connections to database, principle of least privilege for database access, regular automated backups, backup encryption and off-site storage, and tested disaster recovery procedures.

API Security: API authentication (OAuth 2.0, JWT tokens), rate limiting and abuse prevention, input validation on all endpoints, secure error handling (no information leakage), and API versioning for safe updates.

Ongoing Security

Monitoring & Logging: Application performance and error monitoring, security event logging and alerts, regular log review and analysis, and audit trail for sensitive operations.

Vulnerability Management: Regular security assessments and penetration testing, dependency scanning for known vulnerabilities, prompt patching of security issues, and security update schedule and procedures.

Compliance Support: PHIA compliance for healthcare applications, PIPEDA and privacy law compliance, SOC 2 preparation support if needed, security documentation and policies, and regular compliance audits.

Industry-Specific Security

Healthcare Applications: PHIA-compliant patient data handling, encrypted patient health information, secure messaging and communication, audit logging of all data access, and access controls based on medical necessity.
Financial Applications: PCI-DSS compliance for payment data, transaction security and fraud prevention, regulatory reporting and audit trails, and encryption of financial data.

Legal Applications: Client-attorney privilege protection, secure document storage and sharing, version control and document history, and access logging for ethical compliance.

Why Our Security Approach Matters: A security breach doesn’t just compromise data — it destroys trust and can end businesses. With Nicom IT, you’re not just getting developers; you’re getting a cybersecurity partner who treats your applications with the paranoia they deserve.

Will My Custom Application Scale as My Business Grows?

Absolutely. We build applications with growth in mind, using architectural patterns and technologies that scale efficiently from dozens to thousands of users.

Scalability Built-In

Database Performance: Proper indexing and query optimization, database connection pooling, read replicas for high-traffic applications, caching strategies (Redis, Memcached), and horizontal scaling when needed.

Application Architecture: Stateless application design for easy scaling, load balancing across multiple servers, microservices architecture for large applications, asynchronous processing for heavy workloads, and CDN integration for static assets.

Infrastructure Flexibility: Start small and scale as needed, auto-scaling based on traffic patterns, performance monitoring and optimization, capacity planning and recommendations, and seamless migration to larger infrastructure.

Performance Optimization

Code-Level Optimization: Efficient algorithms and data structures, lazy loading and pagination, background job processing, optimized asset delivery (minification, compression), and frontend performance optimization.

Monitoring & Tuning: Real-time performance monitoring, proactive identification of bottlenecks, regular performance audits, database query optimization, and continuous improvement based on usage patterns.

Growth Planning
We help you plan for growth through capacity planning and forecasting, cost optimization strategies, phased enhancement roadmaps, and architecture evolution as needs change. Many clients start with a modest application and scale over time — our architecture supports that journey.

Can You Integrate with Our Existing Systems?

Yes! Integration with existing systems is one of our core strengths. Most businesses already have critical systems and data — we connect them together to create seamless workflows.

Common Integration Scenarios

CRM Systems: Salesforce, HubSpot, Microsoft Dynamics, Zoho CRM, custom CRMs, and bidirectional data sync.

Accounting & Financial: QuickBooks, Xero, Sage, FreshBooks, payment processors (Stripe, Square, PayPal), and banking APIs.

E-commerce Platforms: Shopify, WooCommerce, Magento, custom stores, inventory management, and order fulfillment systems.

Marketing & Communications: Mailchimp, Constant Contact, SendGrid, Twilio (SMS), Slack, Microsoft Teams.

Document Management: SharePoint, Google Drive, Dropbox, DocuSign, Adobe Sign, custom document systems.

Industry-Specific Systems: Practice management (legal, healthcare, accounting), EMR/EHR systems, learning management systems (LMS), property management systems, and industry-specific SaaS platforms.

Integration Approaches

REST APIs: Most modern systems offer REST APIs — we build secure, reliable integrations that handle authentication, error handling, rate limiting, and data transformation.

Webhooks: Real-time event-driven integrations for immediate data synchronization and automated workflow triggers.

Database-Level Integration: When API access isn’t available, we can integrate at the database level (with proper security measures).

File-Based Integration: CSV/Excel imports and exports, automated file processing, FTP/SFTP transfers, and scheduled batch processing.

Custom Middleware: Build integration layers that connect multiple systems, transform data between formats, enforce business rules, and provide unified interfaces.

Integration Best Practices

Data Integrity: Validation and error handling, conflict resolution strategies, data transformation and mapping, and audit trails for all integrations.

Reliability: Retry logic for failed operations, queue-based processing, monitoring and alerting, and graceful degradation when services unavailable.

Security: Secure credential storage, encrypted data transmission, IP whitelisting where appropriate, and regular security audits of integrations.

What Happens After My Application Launches?

Launching your application is just the beginning. We provide comprehensive support to keep your application secure, performing well, and evolving with your business needs.

Post-Launch Support Included

Frequently Asked Questions About Halifax Web Development

How long does custom web development take?

Development timelines vary based on complexity. A simple business application might take 6-8 weeks, while a medium-complexity application typically requires 3-4 months, and enterprise-level applications can take 6-12 months or longer. During discovery, we’ll provide a realistic timeline based on your specific requirements. We use agile methodologies with regular milestones, so you see progress throughout the project and can provide feedback early and often.

Do we need to know exactly what we want before starting?

No! Many of our best projects start with “we know we have a problem, but we’re not sure of the best solution.” That’s what the discovery phase is for. We’ll work with you to understand your current processes, identify pain points, explore possible solutions, and define requirements collaboratively. Sometimes clients think they need one thing and we help them realize they actually need something different (and often simpler). Our expertise includes helping you figure out what to build.

Can you work with our existing in-house IT team?

Absolutely! We frequently collaborate with in-house IT departments. We can take the lead on development while coordinating with your team on infrastructure, security policies, and integration requirements. Or we can work as an extension of your team, providing specialized development expertise while your staff handles other aspects. We’re flexible and collaborative — whatever structure works best for your organization.

What if we want to make changes during development?

Change is normal and expected! We use agile methodologies that embrace change rather than resist it. Minor changes and clarifications are built into the process. Significant scope changes go through a formal change request process where we document the impact on timeline and budget, get your approval before proceeding, and adjust the project plan accordingly. We’re transparent about how changes affect the project and work with you to make informed decisions.

Will we own the code and intellectual property?

Yes! Unless we’ve agreed otherwise upfront, you own the code and intellectual property we create for your project. You’ll receive complete source code, documentation, and have full rights to modify or move the application in the future. The only exceptions are pre-existing code libraries, open-source components (which you also have rights to use), and any Nicom IT proprietary tools or frameworks (which we license to you). Ownership terms are clearly documented in our contract.

Can you build mobile apps in addition to web applications?

Yes! We develop mobile applications for iOS and Android, both native and cross-platform. Many clients start with web applications and later add mobile apps, or we build both simultaneously. We can also create progressive web apps (PWAs) that work like native mobile apps but are actually web-based, providing a cost-effective alternative to native mobile development. We’ll help you determine the right approach based on your users’ needs and budget.

What if we already work with Nicom IT for managed IT services?

That’s perfect! Many of our development clients are existing managed IT clients, and there are significant advantages to working with one technology partner for both services. Your custom application integrates seamlessly with your IT infrastructure, we already understand your security requirements and compliance needs, everything is coordinated through one team, and existing managed IT clients often receive preferential scheduling and may qualify for bundled pricing.

Do you provide hosting or do we need to arrange that separately?

We provide professional application hosting as part of our development service. Hosting is typically billed monthly based on your application’s needs (server resources, bandwidth, database size). We handle all infrastructure setup, security configuration, monitoring, backups, and maintenance. You can also choose to host with your preferred provider or on your own infrastructure — we’re flexible and will work with whatever hosting arrangement makes sense for your organization.

How do you handle data migration from our existing systems?

Data migration is a critical part of many projects. We approach it carefully with a thorough analysis of existing data, clean and transform data as needed, migrate in stages with validation, run parallel systems during transition when possible, and provide rollback plans if issues arise. We test extensively before final cutover to ensure data integrity. For large datasets or complex migrations, we often do a trial migration to identify and resolve issues before the final migration.

What if we want to start small and expand later?

That’s actually our recommended approach! Start with core functionality that solves your biggest pain point, prove the value, then expand. We architect applications with future growth in mind so adding features later doesn’t require rebuilding. Many clients start with an MVP (Minimum Viable Product), get it in users’ hands quickly, gather feedback, then enhance based on real-world usage. This approach reduces risk, manages budget, and ensures you’re building what users actually need.
