Next.js Security Hardening Before Production
Review and improve a Next.js application before launch, with attention to authentication, headers, routes, server actions, APIs, and deployment behavior.
Who it is for
Teams launching or maintaining Next.js applications with public forms, authentication, dashboards, or API routes.
Scope and handoff
Work starts with a repository review and a bounded list of high-impact production concerns. A rebuild is separate from targeted hardening.
Problems this addresses
- Indexable login or administrative pages
- Weak metadata, headers, or cache behavior
- Unsafe API routes, secrets handling, or deployment assumptions
Deliverables
- Route and metadata review
- Security header recommendations
- Authentication and administrative-surface checks
- Build and deployment notes
- Targeted remediation guidance
Relevant stack
- Next.js
- React
- TypeScript
- Prisma
- NextAuth.js
- ESLint
Example scope
- Pre-launch checklist
- Administrative route access and indexing review
- API route exposure review
Questions
Can you work from a private repo?
Yes, with scoped access and clear boundaries.
Do you rewrite the app?
No. The goal is targeted hardening unless a rebuild is explicitly scoped.
Need this scoped for your system?
Send the target, the concern, and what outcome would make the work useful.
