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 this is for

Teams launching or maintaining Next.js applications with public forms, authentication, dashboards, or API routes.

The problem

What this engagement is meant to change.

Review and improve a Next.js application before launch, with attention to authentication, headers, routes, server actions, APIs, and deployment behavior.

  • Indexable login or administrative pages
  • Weak metadata, headers, or cache behavior
  • Unsafe API routes, secrets handling, or deployment assumptions
Systems and environment

Use the stack you already run.

The review or build is grounded in the stack, data, permissions, and deployment conditions that the result has to survive.

  • Next.js
  • React
  • TypeScript
  • Prisma
  • NextAuth.js
  • ESLint
Deliverables

What you receive and can operate.

  • Route and metadata review
  • Security header recommendations
  • Authentication and administrative-surface checks
  • Build and deployment notes
  • Targeted remediation guidance

Typical starting points: Pre-launch checklist; Administrative route access and indexing review; API route exposure review.

How it begins

Define the first deliverable.

Work starts with a repository review and a bounded list of high-impact production concerns. A rebuild is separate from targeted hardening.

Operational safeguards

Boundaries are part of the deliverable.

A full rebuild, product redesign, and unbounded feature work are separate from targeted production hardening.

Questions clients ask

What to know before we start.

Scope is confirmed in writing. These answers describe the normal shape of this service.

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.
