💼 BUSINESS IMPACT

Current State (If Deployed Now):

• 🔴 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)
• QA/Tester: 1 (part-time, 2-4 hours/week)
• DevOps/Infrastructure: 0.5 (env setup, deployment)

Skills Required:

• Node.js/JavaScript (Backend)
• Database migration experience
