Security Strategy

Authentication & Authorization

Requirement: No user authentication or authorization is required
Reason: The application is accessible to all users

Data Protection & Privacy

Requirement: No data protection or privacy measures are required
Reason: The stakeholder has not identified sensitive data or privacy concerns

Security Risks & Mitigation

Although the system does not handle authentication or sensitive data, the following risks have been identified and mitigated:

• Stale/Corrupt Cached Data:

  • If cached data becomes outdated or corrupted, users might see incorrect wildfire data
  • Mitigation: Implement cache expiration rules and validation timestamps

• Local Data Exposure:

  • Cached data stored on a user's device could be accessed by other apps or attackers
  • Mitigation: Store data in a secure location

Code & Dependency Management

Regular security audits will be conducted on third-party dependencies (ex.GitHub Dependabot).
