You built a real, working app in Lovable - fast. That is the hard part, and you nailed it. But Lovable optimizes for shipping, not for securing, and the gap between "it works" and "it is safe for real users" is wider than most founders realize. We audit Lovable apps for the specific, repeatable mistakes the platform makes - and because we are a full software studio, we do not just hand you a list, we fix them.

What it means: Supabase has a rule system (Row-Level Security, or RLS) that controls which rows of data each user can see. Lovable creates your tables but often does not enable RLS or write proper policies. The result: any logged-in user can potentially read, edit, or delete every other user's data - their profiles, their orders, their private messages.
This is not rare. A 2025 CVE (CVE-2025-48757) found a meaningful share of Lovable apps shipped with publicly readable tables for exactly this reason, and independent scans put RLS misconfiguration in roughly 70% of Lovable apps.
How to check it yourself: log in as two different test users. Can user A see user B's data? If yes - or if you are not sure - RLS is your #1 priority.
How we fix it: enable RLS on every table, write explicit per-table policies so users see only their own rows, and test them with real multi-user scenarios. We never rely on defaults.
What it means: Lovable apps frequently bundle API keys into the client-side JavaScript - where anyone can open browser dev tools and read them. The dangerous version is the Supabase service_role key ending up in the frontend. That key bypasses every RLS policy you have - a leaked one hands an attacker full read, write and delete access on your entire database. It is the worst-case scenario, and it is disturbingly common.
How to check it yourself: open your app, press F12, go to Sources, and search the bundle for "service_role", "secret", or "key". If a secret key shows up, rotate it immediately and move it server-side.
How we fix it: we get every secret key off the frontend and route third-party calls through Supabase Edge Functions that hold the secret; your frontend only ever uses the safe public anon key. Then we rotate anything that was exposed.
Beyond the big two, Lovable apps commonly ship with: API routes and admin functions with no authentication, webhooks that are not verified (so anyone can fake a payment or event), and hard deletes with no recovery when something goes wrong. Individually small; together they are how apps get breached or lose data.
Cannot confidently tick all six? That is normal for a Lovable app, and every item is fixable fast.
Lovable itself now holds SOC 2 and ISO 27001 for its own platform - but that does not make your app compliant. Critically, Lovable's terms explicitly prohibit uploading HIPAA-protected health data, and Lovable does not sign a Business Associate Agreement (BAA). If your app touches patient data, you cannot be HIPAA compliant on Lovable's default setup - full stop. Same story for payment data and PCI-DSS. If that is you, this is the most important issue on this page - talk to us about a compliance pass.
Share your Lovable app URL. We check for exposed keys, RLS exposure, missing auth and more, and send your results within 24 hours.
Our engineers review what a scanner cannot: your RLS policies, auth logic, data flows and compliance posture. You get a scored, plain-English report with a prioritized fix list.
We implement the fixes, harden the app, and can keep it monitored with our Care Plan. One team from scan to shipped.
We know Lovable's patterns - the Supabase wiring, the RLS defaults, the Edge Function fix for exposed keys. Most audit shops charge $1,500-$3,000 and stop at a report. We start free, audit from $499, and actually do the remediation.
Lovable's own platform is SOC 2 and ISO 27001 certified, but the apps it generates frequently ship with row-level security disabled and API keys exposed in the frontend. Around 70% of Lovable apps we scan have at least one serious issue. The platform is secure; the default output often is not.
Log in as two separate test accounts and check whether one can see the other's data. Or run our free scan, which tests for public-readable tables.
Rotate it immediately in your Supabase dashboard, then move all secret keys server-side (into Edge Functions) so they never reach the browser. Our audit does this for you and verifies nothing else is leaking.
Not on the default setup - Lovable prohibits HIPAA data and will not sign a BAA. It usually means re-hosting the app on BAA-backed, properly configured infrastructure and adding encryption, audit logging and access controls. We handle that on our compliance track.
The scan is free, the full audit starts at $499, and fixes are quoted from the audit findings - most Lovable apps have 8-14 issues. You get clear pricing before any work starts.
Almost never. Nearly all Lovable issues - RLS, exposed keys, missing auth - are fixed in place, not rebuilt.
