January 2025: Focused on strengthening development environment security for ministryofjustice/hmpps-integration-api by hardening API authorization. Implemented Development Environment API Authorization Hardening by removing PLP endpoints from the mapps allow list and tightening development call rules. This reduces exposure of development endpoints, lowers risk of misconfigurations, and improves compliance with security practices. The change is tracked under ESWE-1080 with commit 897dbf97917dac17bb142bf36d9d18f14e4bf786 (#597). No major bugs fixed this period; all effort centered on secure config and governance. Business value: safer development/testing, fewer unauthorized calls, smoother CI/CD validations, better alignment with security controls.
