Your client's app has vulnerabilities.
You just don't know yet.

45% of code has at least one security flaw. As a freelancer, one breach in a client project can destroy your reputation. Data Hogo helps you find and fix vulnerabilities before delivery.

The freelancer security problem.

No security team

You're the developer, the designer, the PM, and the sysadmin. Security expertise is one more thing you can't afford.

Clients expect security

Your client assumes their app is secure because they hired a professional. If there's a breach, they'll blame you.

Tools cost too much

Snyk: $52/mo. SonarQube: self-hosting costs. You charge $2,000/project — the math doesn't work.

"I'll add security later"

Later never comes. By the time you remember, the client's API keys are in the git history and the admin route has no auth.

The code you're shipping right now

Client API key in source

Vulnerable
const stripe = new Stripe("sk_live_abc123");
Fixed
const stripe = new Stripe(process.env.STRIPE_SECRET_KEY!);

Admin route with no auth

Vulnerable
export async function DELETE(req: Request) {
  const { id } = await req.json();
  await db.users.delete(id);
  return Response.json({ ok: true });
}
Fixed
export async function DELETE(req: Request) {
  const user = await getAuthUser(req);
  if (!user?.isAdmin) return new Response(null, { status: 403 });
  await db.users.delete(req.json().id);
  return Response.json({ ok: true });
}

.env committed to git

Vulnerable
# .gitignore

# forgot .env
Fixed
