Security Standards & Compliance Framework
Building mobile experiences requires more than good design. We follow international protocols that protect user data and ensure your app meets regulatory requirements from launch day.
Why Compliance Matters in Mobile Design
Back in 2022, we learned this the hard way when a banking client came to us after their initial app failed security review. They'd spent months on development without considering compliance from the start.
Now we build it into the foundation. Every wireframe, every user flow gets evaluated against applicable standards. South Korea has specific requirements for apps handling financial transactions or personal data – and these rules keep evolving.
The mobile landscape changed significantly after new privacy regulations came into effect last year. Apps need transparent permission requests, clear data usage policies, and secure storage methods that users can actually understand.
ISO 27001 Information Security
Our design process includes security checkpoints at each stage. We document how user data flows through the app and where it gets stored.
WCAG 2.1 Accessibility Guidelines
Mobile interfaces need to work for everyone. We test color contrast, touch target sizes, and screen reader compatibility during the design phase.
GDPR & Local Privacy Laws
Privacy isn't just a legal checkbox. We help you design consent flows that feel natural while meeting strict documentation requirements.
PCI DSS for Payment Processing
Financial apps have additional layers of security requirements. We design payment flows that keep sensitive card data properly isolated.
Data Protection in Mobile UX
Users trust you with their information. These practices help maintain that trust while keeping your app compliant with current regulations.
Transparent Permission Requests
We design permission dialogs that explain exactly what data you're collecting and why. Context matters – asking for location access makes sense in a navigation app, less so in a note-taking tool.
Secure Authentication Flows
Biometric login, two-factor authentication, and session management need careful UX consideration. Security shouldn't feel like an obstacle course.
Data Minimization Principles
Collect only what you actually need. We help identify which data fields are essential versus nice-to-have, reducing your compliance burden.
User Control & Consent
People should easily find where to view, modify, or delete their data. We build these controls into settings screens with clear language.
Encrypted Data Storage
Sensitive information needs protection at rest and in transit. Our designs account for encryption requirements without adding complexity to the user experience.
Compliance Documentation
We create privacy policy content and terms of service that match your actual data practices. Legal documents should reflect what the app really does.
Working with Regulatory Requirements
South Korea's personal information protection laws are quite specific about mobile apps. Financial services apps face additional scrutiny from banking regulators. Healthcare apps need to follow medical data protection standards.
We've helped fintech startups navigate these requirements since 2019. The key is understanding what regulations apply to your specific use case – not every app needs the same level of security documentation.
Sometimes compliance feels like it conflicts with good UX. But when done right, security features can actually build user confidence. People appreciate knowing their data is protected, especially in sensitive categories like banking or health tracking.
