Security, Intellectual Property & Cross-Border Delivery Standards
When engaging custom software development for business operations, clarity around data security, code ownership, testing, contracting, and payment is essential. Here is how every engagement is governed.
Fixed-scope, Milestone Billing & Ruul Invoicing
Frictionless UK, EU & International Billing via Ruul
For international clients (United Kingdom, France, European Union, North America), contracting and invoicing are seamlessly facilitated through Ruul, acting as Agent of Record. This guarantees full legal compliance.
- Compliant Tax Invoices: Issued in GBP, EUR, or USD with standard corporate tax details.
- Flexible Payment Methods: Pay via standard BACS / SEPA corporate bank transfers or credit cards.
Independent Contractor Status
Elevya operates strictly as an independent contractor business (B2B), not as an employee. This provides complete fiscal clarity for your HR and accounting departments.
Fixed-Scope & Milestone Billing
I do not run open-ended hourly billing on custom platforms that lead to cost overruns. After the Mapping Sprint, you receive a fixed-price proposal. Invoicing is tied directly to the delivery of verifiable project milestones.
Data Security & NDA Governance
NDA Support
I routinely sign standard Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDAs) prior to accessing proprietary client workflows, database schemas, or API credentials.
Protected Staging Environments
Development and user testing are conducted on isolated staging servers using anonymized synthetic test datasets. Production databases remain untouched until launch.
Role-Based Security
Applications enforce strict role-based access control (RBAC), multi-factor authentication, salted password hashing, and encrypted HTTPS connections.
Automated Offsite Backups
Production deployments include automated daily database snapshots, point-in-time recovery, and disaster recovery procedures.
UAT, Subcontracting Policy, and IP Handover
Zero Offshore Engineering Outsourcing
I do not subcontract core engineering or architecture to cheap offshore dev farms. The person you speak to on the technical fit call is the person writing the code, configuring the server, and delivering the platform. You get direct accountability.
User Acceptance Testing (UAT)
Before production launch, clients must formally test the system on staging against the written acceptance criteria. Launch only occurs after written UAT sign-off.
100% Intellectual Property Handover
Upon milestone payment completion, you receive full, unencumbered ownership of:
- All custom source code repositories (Git commit history).
- Database schemas, migration scripts, and seed files.
- Docker container configurations and deployment scripts.
- System architecture documentation, API schemas, and administrator credentials.
