Your Pre-Launch Security Pass

A checklist you never run under a deadline isn't a checklist — it's a good intention. This lesson makes it a habit.

Hiring signal: A real, written pre-launch security report with a justified ship/fix/hire-someone call is exactly the artifact a founder, a client, or a hiring manager can actually look at — not a claim that you 'know about security.'

What you will learn

Combine a threat model, a five-point check, and a verified AI review into one real report
Make and justify a ship / fix-first / hire-someone decision based on actual findings
Recognize the specific situations that call for a professional security review instead of self-service checks

Introduction

This is the lesson where everything from the last three comes together into one real habit: a security pass you actually run before every launch, not just for this course.

The Problem

Knowing the five checks and having a good prompt doesn't help if you never actually run the pass — under a deadline, "I'll check security later" quietly becomes "I never did." This lesson turns Lessons 1-3 into one repeatable sequence, plus the one judgment call none of the previous lessons could make for you: when to stop doing this yourself and pay a real engineer.
