UK GDPR
UK GDPR And Data Protection Act 2018
Social platforms can process profile information, contact details, behavioural data and user generated content. We can design appropriate consent, data minimisation, retention and access workflows around UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018 based on your specific processing activities and legal requirements.
PCI DSS
EU GDPR
If your social platform serves users in the European Economic Area, EU GDPR may also apply. Our development approach can support privacy controls, consent management, data access workflows and appropriate handling of personal information according to the requirements identified for your target markets.
ISO/SOC
ISO 27001 Considerations
ISO 27001 provides a recognised framework for information security management. Where relevant to your organisation, we can incorporate appropriate controls around access management, information protection, risk handling and operational security into the technical architecture of your social media application.
OWASP
OWASP Security Practices
Our development and testing process can reference OWASP guidance to address common application security risks. Areas such as authentication, authorisation, API security, input validation, session management and secure configuration can be considered throughout the social media app development lifecycle.

If your platform accepts payments for subscriptions, premium features, advertising services or digital products, secure payment processing is essential. We can integrate established payment providers and design payment workflows that reduce unnecessary exposure of sensitive card information while considering applicable PCI DSS responsibilities.

Businesses with broader requirements around security and operational controls may need to consider SOC 2 principles. Our technical approach can support suitable controls covering areas such as security, availability and confidentiality depending on your organisation's assurance requirements.

Some social platforms may need age related controls based on their audience, content and services. We can support appropriate age verification, age gating and account restriction workflows where required, with data handling designed around the platform's privacy and compliance requirements.
UK GDPR
Content Moderation
User generated content can require reporting, review and moderation capabilities. We can build moderation queues, user reporting, blocking, automated detection, escalation workflows and administrator controls to help platform teams manage potentially harmful or prohibited content.
UK GDPR
Data Encryption
User profiles, messages and other sensitive information should be protected during transmission and, where appropriate, while stored. We can implement encryption across application communication and data storage alongside secure authentication, key management and protected API practices.
UK GDPR
Role Based Access Control
Administrators, moderators, support agents and other staff may require different levels of platform access. Role based access control helps separate responsibilities and ensures authorised personnel can access only the data and functionality required for their specific role.
