Security belongs in platform design, particularly where product data, partner access and customer information meet.
We build and improve secure industrial websites and portals through sensible architecture, access control, update discipline, hosting practice and a controlled release process. The aim is a proportionate security model matched to what the platform holds and who reaches it, from a public product catalogue to a distributor area carrying customer-specific pricing and restricted technical documentation.
Industrial website security starts from what the platform is. A public marketing site, a technical document library and a distributor portal with account-level pricing do not carry the same risk, and applying the same checklist to all three wastes effort at one end and leaves gaps at the other. We assess who uses the platform, what data it holds, which systems it connects to, where it is hosted and who holds operational responsibility for each part, so the security work is proportionate and traceable back to a real exposure.
Dependable security rests on practical routines: least-privilege access, scheduled patching, verified backups, monitoring, tested updates and controlled deployment. On long-lived industrial platforms the weak point is usually ownership rather than technology, since accounts, integrations and hosting were set up by people who have since moved on. We set out what the internal team should hold, what belongs with the delivery or hosting partner, and how the boundary is reviewed as the platform changes.
We harden and maintain the platforms we build and run, and set them up so whoever performs your penetration testing, customer security questionnaire or certification audit has a clean, well-documented platform to assess. That includes an inventory of components and versions, a record of who holds which access, documented backup and recovery procedures, and a change history that can be read by someone from outside the project.
Code Industrial is the industrial B2B practice of Code Barcelona, an agency building corporate websites and digital platforms since 2015. The same strategy, design and engineering team works on every industrial project, from the first scoping session through to life after launch.
The asset worth protecting differs by business: product data, technical documents, customer accounts, connected systems or commercial continuity. Industrial website security starts from what the platform holds and how it is operated.
What IT, engineering and compliance teams ask about platform security.
The appropriate scope depends on the platform. It can include secure hosting, patching, verified backups, access controls and role review, hardening, monitoring, review of ERP or PIM integrations and their stored credentials, and a controlled release process. We scope it from the real exposure and the ownership model, and say plainly which items are quick corrections and which need a project behind them.
Yes. We begin with a technical and operational review covering versions, accounts, integrations, hosting and backups, prioritise the material issues, and set out a route to remediation and ongoing management suited to the platform. Where a portal holds customer-specific data, the access model is tested role by role, since that is where findings tend to concentrate on builds that have been extended over several years.
You remain the data controller. We build and operate to the requirements your data protection officer sets, implement retention and deletion as specified, and act as a processor within that arrangement. Where a portal collects contact details for distributor or partner accounts, we document what is stored, where it is stored and how long it is kept, so the record is available when a customer or auditor asks.
Yes, and it is a common starting point. Sometimes the fair conclusion is that hardening the existing build costs more than replacing it, particularly where the platform is several major versions behind and the customisations were written against interfaces that have since changed. We say so when that is the case, and set out both routes with their cost and their risk rather than defaulting to a rebuild.
Security work usually sits inside a maintenance agreement rather than standing alone. These are the services it connects to.
Tell us what the platform does, who uses it and which systems it connects to. We will define a proportionate industrial website security review and a delivery plan to match.
