Quality & Security

The ShobuOps operating standard.

These controls define how every engagement is run. Some are standard practice from day one; others are agreed and configured together with your team during onboarding.

Named user access wherever supported by the client's systems

Role-based Shopify access

Least-privilege permissions

Approval thresholds for sensitive actions

SOP-driven execution

Defined quality-control checkpoints

System reconciliation

Documented continuity procedures

Access is granted per person and scoped to what the role requires, rather than through shared logins, wherever the client's systems support it.
