Spotting Authentication and Authorization Gaps in an Integration Design

Analyze authentication and authorization requirements to identify security gaps

SUBy Solomon UdohReviewed by Solomon UdohAI-assisted · human-reviewed
In short
Reviewing an integration design means distinguishing sound identity, authorization, and logging components from genuine security gaps. Common gaps to check are the identity source (server-side versus user-asserted), tenant key isolation, and whether output flows to downstream systems with no logging. A server-side authentication layer and per-tenant storage isolation are sound and should not be flagged, while an unlogged handoff to a downstream system is a gap regardless of how correctly identity was established upstream.
