What matters

Isolation

Define separation according to constraints. Isolation also covers files, caches, search and background tasks.

Permissions

Verify organisation and rights for every operation. A hidden interface does not replace server-side checks.

Tests

Include cross-organisation access attempts and exports. Cover paths that handle resource identifiers.

Essential questions

How should I use this guide?

Apply the criteria to your situation and note assumptions to verify. Technical choices and costs need confirmation against your actual scope.

What should I prepare for a first conversation?

Your objective, a representative example and known constraints are enough to start. Sensitive documents or access are reviewed later within an appropriate framework.
