Get your Base44 app reviewed before data access, auth or integrations become a risk
Base44 builds frontend, database, auth and hosting from a prompt in minutes, and the app works. Whether it is also production ready is decided at the managed backend: at the data-access rules, the generated auth and the integration secrets for Stripe, OpenAI and email. Veriploy reviews exactly those points, ranks what is genuinely critical, and then keeps code, CVEs and infrastructure under ongoing technical oversight.

Technical point of contact
Timo Wevelsiep
Software engineer, cloud architect, founder & managing director
I review code, security and infrastructure and surface what is technically risky before launch, customer use or due diligence.
For questions like:
- Is this release production-ready?
- Which CVEs are really critical?
- Are auth, data access and tenant isolation clean?
Base44 apps are live in minutes, but the backend is abstracted
Base44 gets the team to an app that runs in a demo extremely fast, including database, auth and hosting. Precisely because base44 generates and manages the backend automatically, the decisions that only become a problem in front of real users stay invisible. These are the gaps we see most often in base44 apps:
- Login exists, but who may see which records is not cleanly limited
- Per-entity data-access rules too permissive or not enforced at all
- The generated auth hides things in the UI but does not enforce roles server-side
- Integration secrets for Stripe, OpenAI or Twilio without clear protection
- Critical actions like payments or AI calls run too close to the client
- On the managed hosting, rate limits, logging and a backup/restore plan are missing
- Lock-in and export: unclear what leads out of base44 in a controlled way as you grow
- In the accessible code, dependencies with known CVEs that nobody updates anymore
Data access and permissions: login is not access protection
Base44 generates the data model and auth automatically, and login works straight away. That does not mean the data is protected. Authentication only answers who someone is. Authorisation answers what that person may see and change. That second layer, the access rules per record and per user, often goes unset during fast building.
If the owner or tenant check is missing, a logged-in user can query more through the API than the interface shows: records that actually belong to others. A rule that only checks whether someone is logged in does not separate one tenant from another either.
We check whether access per entity actually isolates by user or tenant, whether any data is accidentally reachable in the open, and how consistently the rules apply across all entities. We rank every finding by severity so you can see what is genuinely production critical.
Enforce generated auth and roles server-side
Base44 generates auth and often roles automatically. Convenient, but a role only protects you when it is enforced server-side, not just hidden in the UI. If an admin area is hidden in the frontend while the endpoint stays reachable unchecked, a direct call is enough.
Typically the app assumes only its own interface calls the backend logic. Anyone who knows the endpoint can call it directly, though. We check whether role and permission checks take effect server-side and whether critical actions are really decided there instead of relying on the UI.
Integration secrets: Stripe, OpenAI, email and SMS
Base44 ships native integrations: Stripe for payments, OpenAI and Anthropic for AI features, SendGrid and Twilio for email and SMS. Each of these has keys with real reach. If they end up in the client or calls run too close to the browser, someone can read them or use them on your bill. With payment and AI APIs that quickly turns into direct financial damage.
We check where the integration secrets live, whether the calls run server-side and whether limits against abuse exist, so an open AI or mail endpoint does not become a cost trap.
Managed hosting, operations and export
A working app is not yet an operable app. On base44's managed hosting a lot is taken care of, but not everything is in view. We review that operations layer with:
- Rate limits on login, API and integration endpoints
- Monitoring and logging so errors and attacks become visible
- Backups of the data with a tested recovery path
- Separation of test and live data and environments
- Security headers and tight access rules, where configurable
- Export and lock-in question: what leads out of base44 in a controlled way as you grow
What base44 and Wix checks do and where Veriploy adds value
Base44 and Wix ship their own checks, and those are a good start. Automated checks find plenty of findings: an overly broad access rule, an exposed key, an outdated dependency. What they do not do is rank them: which finding genuinely endangers you in front of real users and which one can wait.
That is exactly where Veriploy comes in. We take the findings, rank them by production criticality and translate them into a clear order: what must be fixed now, what matters before the next release and what stays uncritical. This human prioritisation does not replace the automated checks, it makes them usable.
And because base44 apps change with every prompt, it does not stop at a one-off look. You get the app reviewed once (Snapshot or Baseline) and then keep code, CVEs and infrastructure under ongoing technical oversight with Oversight, Guard or Launch. That keeps the risk dashboard current instead of going stale with the next feature.
How the Base44 review works
- 01
Clarify the Base44 context
First we clarify how the app was built: base44 project, data model, generated auth and roles, integrations used (Stripe, OpenAI, email/SMS), hosting and the planned launch.
- 02
Map data model, auth and integrations
I review how the frontend, the base44-generated backend, the data-access rules and the integrations work together. Particularly important: which logic runs in the client, which runs server-side, and where the secrets live.
- 03
Review data access, roles and secrets
With base44 apps the biggest risk often is not in the UI, but in overly broad data-access rules, roles not enforced server-side or poorly protected integration secrets.
- 04
Findings and priorities
The result is concrete findings such as: access without an owner filter, role check only in the UI, integration key too close to the client, endpoint without validation, no backup/restore plan.
- 05
Launch or subscription recommendation
After that it is clear whether a Snapshot is enough, a Baseline review makes sense, or whether the project should be supported on an ongoing basis with Guard or Launch.
Many projects start with a Snapshot or Baseline review. If the product keeps being developed with AI afterwards, Veriploy can support it on an ongoing basis.
What I need for the review
- access to the base44 app and, where available, code/export
- a short description of stack, tool and goal
- details on hosting and deployment
- data model, auth and integration context
- notes on sensitive data or user roles
- open questions or specific concerns
What the review delivers
- an understandable risk rating
- top risks at a glance
- prioritised findings
- concrete recommended actions
- guidance: fix now, fix before launch, plan for later
- an optional recommendation for Oversight, Guard or Launch
What a finding looks like
Data-access rule for the orders entity has no owner filter, logged-in users could fetch other people's orders. Recommendation: enforce access per user_id.
Base44/Wix check or ongoing oversight by Veriploy?

| Infrastructure and operations | Only partly in view on managed hosting | Rate limits, logging, backups, export reviewed too |
| Before a release | Another check needed | Human judgement included in the plan |
Frequently asked questions
Is this a penetration test?
No. Veriploy is an ongoing technical review of code, security, CVEs and infrastructure, not a classic pentest. With base44 apps we look especially at data access, generated auth and integration secrets. A pentest can complement it when you want to simulate targeted attacks.
Do you also do the fixes?
Not within the plan. We review, prioritise and explain what needs to be done, for example how an access rule should look or how an integration key ends up safely server-side. Implementation runs separately through Wevelsiep Advisory or WZ-IT, or your own team. That keeps the review independent from the implementation.
What do you need for the review?
Access to the base44 app and, where available, the code or export, plus the base44 configuration for data model, auth and integrations. Read access is enough, we do not need write access because we do not implement the fixes ourselves.
Does this replace the base44 or Wix checks?
No, it complements them. The built-in checks find findings, which is a good start. Veriploy ranks which of them are production critical in front of real users and then keeps code, CVEs and infrastructure under ongoing oversight. Automated checks and human prioritisation work together.
What does it cost?
The entry point is fixed: Snapshot 790 € and Baseline 1.490 € as one-off reviews. Ongoing oversight starts at 990 € per month (Oversight), then Guard at 1.950 € and Launch at 3.900 € per month. All prices net plus VAT. Ongoing packages start with a 3-month minimum term, then cancelable monthly, unless agreed otherwise.
