SaaS Security Audit Guide for AI-Built Apps | Pre-Launch Checklist

You built your app fast using AI coding tools. Now you need to ship it safely-but you don't have a security engineer on staff.

This is the specific problem: apps built with Claude, Cursor, Lovable, and Replit move quickly, but they inherit blind spots. Framework misconfigurations, forgotten API rate limits, exposed environment variables, weak input validation-these aren't obvious until they cost you users or compliance standing.

Hiring a penetration tester costs $5000-$15,000. A security audit firm takes weeks. You ship next Monday.

This guide lets you run a rigorous, professional-grade security audit yourself in about two hours. No security background required. No hiring freelancers. Just a structured playbook designed specifically for AI-assisted development workflows.

What You Get

- Why AI-Built Apps Have Different Vulnerabilities: A clear breakdown of the 7 most common security holes in Lovable, Replit, and Cursor projects, and why traditional checklists miss them.
- The 40-Point Pre-Launch Security Checklist: A field-tested framework covering authentication, data handling, API security, environment config, and deployment hardening. Every item is actionable in under 5 minutes.
- Platform-Specific Fix Playbooks: Exact steps to patch vulnerabilities in Lovable, Replit, and Cursor projects. Not generic advice-real code paths and settings.
- The Master Audit Prompt for Claude Code: A single, carefully engineered prompt you drop into your project root. Claude scans your codebase, flags every critical finding, and produces a prioritized remediation list in minutes.
- Delivery and Compliance: Ship with confidence. Know which fixes are non-negotiable before production, which are hardening bonuses, and how to document your due diligence for stakeholders.

How To Use This

Block out two focused hours this week. Open Claude Code in your project root directory. Run the master audit prompt from Chapter 5. Review every Critical finding and fix them before you flip to production. Use the platform-specific playbooks as your reference. Mark off the 40-point checklist as you go. You'll have a documented audit trail and a measurably more secure launch.

You'll Own Your Security

You won't be guessing. You won't be hoping you didn't miss anything. You'll have a repeatable, professional audit process that you can run again every quarter as you add features. This is the same audit logic that professional teams use-simplified and optimized for AI-assisted development.

Includes PDF guide, printable checklist, and the master audit prompt (ready to paste into Claude Code).
