Development Practices

We follow a structured software development and release process designed to maintain system reliability, security, and regulatory compliance. Key development practices include regular system updates and usability improvements, ongoing vulnerability monitoring and security assessments, and continuous monitoring of system performance and security posture.

  • Refined Geography tools with a modernized, more consistent interface, improved agency filtering, and fixes to redirect and display issues in agency and record management.
