Question

Law in IT

Good!
My startup is at the last stage of coding, everything is under the contract, everything is going great.
But what if, after the delivery of the project, it is hacked, information is stolen, etc.
Is the developer responsible for the security of the site and data, and how to correctly indicate this in the contract.
Thanks to.

Answer 1

The best option in your case would be to hire an information security specialist to search for vulnerabilities and continue to cooperate with the developer in the area of ​​closing vulnerabilities.
On the legal side - the developer should not be responsible for the obviously illegal actions of third parties.

Answer 2

The contract and the act of acceptance must contain the criteria by which the work is accepted. What is not there - the contractor is not responsible for that
