Prompt for discovering security vulnerabilities on your app

Hi All,

Hope you've keeping well,

Try out this prompt and let me know if it helps ✌️

"You are acting as a senior enterprise software architect, cybersecurity auditor, privacy/compliance specialist, application security engineer, DevSecOps reviewer, cloud security consultant, and systems reliability engineer.

I need you to perform a FULL PROFESSIONAL SECURITY, COMPLIANCE, ARCHITECTURE, AND PRODUCTION-READINESS AUDIT of this entire application/platform.

Review:

- the full codebase

- frontend implementation

- backend architecture

- APIs

- authentication & authorization systems

- database structure

- file/document storage

- cloud infrastructure

- CI/CD pipelines

- edge/serverless functions

- AI integrations

- third-party services

- permissions architecture

- session handling

- business logic

- deployment configuration

- logging & monitoring

- security configuration

- secrets management

- scalability architecture

- data processing flows

Assume this platform may process:

- personal data

- financial data

- business data

- user-generated content

- authentication credentials

- uploaded files/documents

- AI interactions

- API integrations

- customer records

- sensitive operational information

The platform MUST be evaluated to enterprise-grade standards for:

- Security

- Privacy

- Compliance

- Reliability

- Availability

- Auditability

- Scalability

- Maintainability

- Access control

- Data protection

- AI governance

- Disaster recovery

- Production readiness

I want you to conduct an EXTREMELY CRITICAL review and identify:

SECURITY RISKS

- Security vulnerabilities

- Authentication flaws

- Authorization flaws

- Broken access control

- Privilege escalation risks

- Insecure session handling

- Weak JWT/token implementation

- OTP abuse risks

- Missing MFA protections

- API exposure risks

- Missing rate limiting

- CORS misconfigurations

- CSRF risks

- XSS risks

- SSRF risks

- SQL injection risks

- NoSQL injection risks

- Command injection risks

- Path traversal risks

- File upload vulnerabilities

- Insecure deserialization

- Open redirects

- Sensitive data exposure

- Public storage exposure

- Secrets leakage

- Weak encryption handling

- Weak password handling

- Weak webhook validation

- Missing security headers

- Missing CSP

- Dangerous client-side processing

- Insecure AI integrations

- Prompt injection risks

- Supply-chain/dependency risks

ARCHITECTURE RISKS

- Unsafe coding patterns

- Monolithic architecture issues

- Poor separation of concerns

- Tight coupling

- Technical debt

- Scalability bottlenecks

- Single points of failure

- Race conditions

- Concurrency issues

- Missing retry logic

- Fragile integrations

- State management issues

- Data consistency risks

- Incomplete deletion flows

- Orphaned data risks

- Infrastructure weaknesses

- Weak cloud configuration

- Weak DevOps practices

- Weak CI/CD security

- Lack of observability

- Weak logging/audit trails

- Missing backup/disaster recovery strategy

COMPLIANCE & PRIVACY RISKS

- GDPR risks

- POPIA risks

- CCPA/privacy risks

- AI/privacy risks

- Data retention issues

- Missing consent enforcement

- Incomplete account deletion

- Excessive data collection

- Cross-border data transfer risks

- Missing auditability

- Weak breach-response readiness

- Third-party processor risks

- Data minimization failures

“VIBE CODING” RISK INDICATORS

- AI-generated insecure patterns

- Frontend-only validation

- Disabled security protections

- Hardcoded secrets

- Overly permissive access

- Debug code left in production

- Massive unmaintainable components/files

- Copy-pasted security logic

- Inconsistent validation

- Missing architectural discipline

- “Make it work first” shortcuts

- Overuse of admin/service-role access

- Lack of engineering standards

- Lack of testing

- Lack of code review patterns

Evaluate the platform against:

- OWASP Top 10

- OWASP API Security Top 10

- Zero-trust security principles

- Enterprise SaaS architecture principles

- Modern cloud security practices

- Secure authentication standards

- Secure file storage practices

- DevSecOps best practices

- Modern frontend/backend security standards

- Privacy-by-design principles

- AI governance best practices

Then generate a PROFESSIONAL STRUCTURED REPORT with these sections:

  1. Executive Summary

  2. Critical Security Vulnerabilities

  3. High-Risk Compliance & Privacy Issues

  4. Authentication & Authorization Review

  5. API & Backend Security Review

  6. Database & Storage Security Review

  7. File Upload & Document Security Review

  8. Frontend Security Review

  9. AI Integration & Privacy Review

  10. Cloud Infrastructure & DevOps Review

  11. Business Logic Risks

  12. Session & Token Security Review

  13. Data Retention & Account Deletion Review

  14. Logging, Monitoring & Auditability Review

  15. Backup & Disaster Recovery Review

  16. Scalability & Reliability Review

  17. Code Quality & Maintainability Review

  18. “Vibe Coding” Risk Indicators

  19. Recommended Immediate Fixes

  20. Recommended Medium-Term Improvements

  21. Recommended Enterprise-Grade Upgrades

For EVERY issue found:

- Explain the vulnerability/risk clearly

- Explain how it could realistically be abused

- Explain business impact

- Explain legal/compliance implications where relevant

- Provide severity:

- Critical

- High

- Medium

- Low

- Provide remediation guidance

- Provide code-level recommendations where applicable

- Explain whether the issue is architectural, implementation-level, or operational

IMPORTANT:

- Be brutally honest and highly critical

- Assume attackers WILL target this platform

- Assume regulators MAY audit this platform

- Assume investors MAY perform technical due diligence

- Assume this platform may eventually scale to millions of users

- Do NOT give generic advice

- Review actual implementation details

- Identify technical debt

- Identify insecure assumptions

- Identify hidden scaling risks

- Identify weak engineering practices

- Identify architectural anti-patterns

- Identify areas requiring refactoring

- Identify areas that would fail enterprise security review

- Identify areas that would fail production-readiness review

Additionally:

Create a final “Production Readiness Score” out of 100 for:

- Security

- Compliance

- Architecture

- Scalability

- Reliability

- Maintainability

- Enterprise Readiness

Then provide a prioritized remediation roadmap for:

- Immediate fixes (0–30 days)

- Short-term fixes (1–3 months)

- Medium-term improvements (3–6 months)

- Long-term enterprise upgrades (6–12 months)

Your goal is to review this application to the standard expected of:

- enterprise SaaS platforms

- fintech systems

- healthcare systems

- legal-tech systems

- identity-management systems

- cloud-native enterprise applications

Do NOT sugarcoat anything.

If something appears unsafe, incomplete, fragile, amateurish, or “vibe coded,” explicitly say so and explain why."

Startups in SA

Hi Fam,

I have built and self funded a Fintech Startup,

I've been searching online for VCs,Accelerators, Incubator programs or even Startup communities.

But weirdly enough all I'm getting is fluff,

- Links that don't work

- Funds that are either closed or don't exist

- Projects that closed down a few years ago

- Lengthy Google forms that don't get you a response back.

Can you guys please assist me with recommendations of VCs that actually have funds to invest, Accelerator/Incubator programmes that are currently active and recruiting and SA Startup communities one can join.

Thanks in advance.
