Intro: This section turns security advice into reusable architecture patterns. The goal is to help teams make good structural decisions before they start arguing about scanner output.
What this page includes
- multi-tenant SaaS and admin-plane patterns
- service-to-service authentication and identity propagation
- webhook and event-driven security
- egress control, private connectivity, and zero-trust service patterns
Figure: the main trust planes that architecture review should keep separate.
Section map
| Page | Why it belongs here |
|---|---|
| Multi-Tenant SaaS and Admin-Plane Patterns | Covers the boundaries most likely to create product-security incidents. |
| Service-to-Service Auth, Webhooks, and Event-Driven Security | Treats internal calls, external callbacks, and message flows as first-class security designs. |
| Zero-Trust Egress and Private Connectivity Patterns | Connects network shape to data exfiltration and control-plane abuse. |
| Secure Defaults and Golden Paths for Product and Platform Teams | Encodes safer defaults into templates, policies, and evidence instead of relying on repeated manual review. |
Design bias
Prefer patterns that reduce the amount of implicit trust the product accumulates over time.
