Secure From Scratch

We are building the future of programming education

From Hello world to Hello Secure World

Our Manifesto

Secure From Scratch is a different way to think about secure coding.

Security should not be added after software is built. It should shape how software is built - from the first line of code.

We believe the secure way should also be the easy way. Safe defaults, safer APIs, explicit trust boundaries, and designs that make entire classes of mistakes harder to introduce.

Security knowledge should not live only in checklists and developers' memories. Encode it into types, APIs, frameworks, build rules, and the tools developers use.

These principles apply equally to humans and AI. Good guardrails help both produce safer software.

We teach programming, not patching.

Our goal is not just to find more vulnerabilities. It is to create fewer of them.

Our Secure Coding Principles

Priority,Privacy,Permissions

Security is the first priority.

Redundant

Redundant defenses ensure multilayered defense in depth.

Easy

Easy to use securely. Easy to use safely. Always prefer safe by default to safe through action.

Verify

Verify if the components you use and your implementation are safe and follow current best practices.

Events

Events, Errors and Exceptions - Log them, manage them.

Neat

Neat code. Security through clarity. Neat code is not just easy to maintain, but also reduces undetected vulnerabilities.

Trust

Trust boundaries. Transferring data or control between entities with different trust levels requires proactive action.

Our First Book Is Out!

Think securely. Code confidently. Become trusted.
