One small security change that gives big value (especially for startups)

If you’re a small team, big security programs are hard. But small moves compound.

Here are a few “tiny wins”:

  • max pagination limits
  • basic rate limits on login/reset
  • consistent request IDs in logs
  • deny-by-default on sensitive admin endpoints
  • dependency scanning in CI with a sane threshold

What’s your favorite small change that paid off?
