🔴 **NOT RECOMMENDED** for production - Risk of account takeover is HIGH - Risk of data breach is CRITICAL - Compliance risk with regulations (OJK, PCI-DSS if payment processing) ### After Critical Fixes (1-2 weeks): - 🟢 **PRODUCTION READY** for initial deployment - Password security improved significantly - Credentials properly managed - Basic CSRF protection in place ### After All Fixes (3-4 weeks): - 🟢 **PRODUCTION HARDENED** - Enterprise-grade security - Compliance-ready - Audit-ready for external review --- ## 👥 RESOURCE REQUIREMENTS ### Team Needed: - **Backend Developer(s):** 1-2 (main focus) - **Security Reviewer:** 1 (part-time, 4-6 hours/week) -
