SOLUTIONS / STARTUPS

Build the product.
Keep its boundaries intact.

Your next release should move the business forward. Galen Policy helps catch security flaws and unintended access changes while you build, so a small team can act before those mistakes become customer problems.

Available now: Galen Policy Beta and Managed Galen Security Audits. Self-service Galen Security is coming soon.

Deterministic analysis. Inspectable evidence. Your team’s decisions.

INTENDED BOUNDARY

Only project members can read private project fields.

The issue to investigate

The generated route checks sign-in but omits project membership.

The caller can reach the lookup without the required membership boundary.

Conceptual example, not live Galen output. Recheck the actual implementation after a correction.

WHAT IS AT STAKE

A small team cannot afford a second security backlog.

The founder reviewing a pull request may also be handling a customer demo, a production issue, and the next funding conversation. AI can help the team build more quickly, but the responsibility for customer data stays with you. An endpoint that works in the demo can still let the wrong person read or change a record.

Early shortcuts also tend to become permanent assumptions. The first admin role, shared link, or support export sets a pattern that later features copy. Galen Policy gives your team a way to review those access rules and preserve the ones you approve as the product changes.

Runway
Spend development time on focused corrections.
Customer trust
Catch wider access before customers depend on it.
Momentum
Keep using the coding agent and workflow you know.

PUT GALEN TO WORK

Check the change.
Understand the wider risk.

CHECK WHILE YOU BUILD

Put a security check beside your coding agent.

Galen Policy is a standalone command-line tool. You or an agent with terminal access runs it in the project directory after creating or changing code. It analyzes supported code paths and controls, then returns evidence a developer or coding agent can use to make a correction.

Start with the application you have. Review the access behavior Galen recovers, correct unsafe assumptions, and approve your baseline. Later checks can flag new permissions, removed guards, broader field exposure, and ungoverned writes. Your team can distinguish an intentional feature change from an accidental change in who gets access.

GO DEEPER WITH AN AUDIT

Go deeper before a bigger commitment.

A launch, a new enterprise customer, or a significant change to authentication is a good moment to examine the wider application. Galen Security supports deeper review of application code, APIs, and the paths around sensitive operations, with findings grounded in code evidence.

Use a Managed Security Audit today for Telhawk-led scoping, review, and remediation handoff. Self-service audits for your team are coming soon. The result can support a concrete customer security discussion: which version was reviewed, what was found, and what was checked after correction.

WHERE TO FOCUS

Protect the features a growing startup adds first.

Boundary or decisionWhat needs attentionEvidence to inspect
Customer accountsA new role can reach another customer’s data.Caller, selected record, and ownership or tenant controls.
Admin and support toolsA convenience endpoint inherits ordinary user access.The sensitive operation and the role guard that governs it.
Sharing and exportsA response or download includes fields you intended to keep private.The route, returned fields, and approved exposure boundary.

A PRACTICAL STARTING POINT

Start small. Keep the rule as you grow.

  1. 01

    Choose one important boundary.

    Begin with a customer record, private field, or privileged action the team already understands.

  2. 02

    Check the next change.

    Run Policy, use the evidence to guide the correction, and check the revised path.

  3. 03

    Review the next milestone.

    Use Galen Security for the broader release or customer-facing workflow.

BUILD WITH BETTER EVIDENCE
