No-Code Security Checklist
Price: $19 | Format: Checklists, guides, templates, worksheets
A comprehensive security system for no-code applications. No-code platforms handle some security for you (hosting, SSL, infrastructure) but leave critical gaps: authentication configuration, data access rules, API exposure, third-party risk, and compliance. This product closes those gaps with actionable checklists, platform-specific hardening guides, and ready-to-use security policy templates.

Quick Start
1. Run the master checklist (checklists/master-security-checklist.md) to find gaps in your current setup
2. Follow your platform's hardening guide (guides/airtable-hardening.md, bubble-hardening.md, or zapier-make-hardening.md)
3. Audit your secrets with checklists/secrets-management.md
4. Evaluate your vendors using the scored worksheet (worksheets/vendor-security-assessment.md)
5. Track identified risks in the risk register (worksheets/risk-register.md)
6. Adopt the security policy template for your team (templates/security-policy-template.md)
7. Set up your incident response plan (templates/incident-response-plan.md) before you need it

Airtable Security Hardening Guide
A step-by-step guide to securing your Airtable bases, views, and integrations. Airtable is powerful but has a unique security model that catches many builders off guard: it wasn't designed as an application backend, so the security controls are different from what you'd expect in a traditional database.
Time estimate: 45–60 minutes for a typical base with 5–15 tables.
Understanding Airtable's Security Model
Airtable's security operates at three levels. Most builders only configure level 1 and leave levels 2 and 3 wide open:
Level 1: Account Security
Who can log into your Airtable workspace?
→ MFA, SSO, password policy
Level 2: Base & Table Access
Who can see and edit which bases and tables?
→ Workspace roles, base sharing, table permissions
Level 3: Record & Field Access
Who can see which records and fields?
→ Views, Interfaces, API proxying
→ Airtable does NOT have row-level security (this is the big gap)
The critical thing to understand: Once someone has access to a base (as editor or above), they can see every record in every table in that base. There is no native row-level security. If you need users to see only their own records, you must use Views, Interfaces, or an API proxy — not direct base access.
Step 1: Workspace Account Security
1.1 Workspace Admin Settings
1. Enforce MFA for all workspace members
- Go to your workspace → Settings → Authentication
- Enable "Require two-factor authentication"
- This forces every member to set up MFA before accessing any bases
2. Set up SSO (Enterprise plan only)
- If your organization uses an identity provider (Okta, Azure AD, Google Workspace), configure SAML SSO
- SSO centralizes authentication and makes offboarding instant — disable the IdP account and Airtable access is gone
3. Review workspace members quarterly
- Go to Workspace → Members
- Remove anyone who no longer needs access
- Audit who has Owner vs. Creator vs. Editor roles
