Custom software built around your workflow
Web platforms and internal tools designed for how your team actually works. A first working version (MVP) or a full product, with logins, database, connections to your other tools, and go-live included. Your code, your ownership.

Frequently asked questions
You're a young company. Why should I take that risk?
A fair question. CivSec S.M.A.R.T was founded in 2025 and is part of CivSec Group B.V. You get a written agreement with a fixed price, you test everything on a private test version before it goes live, and once paid the code is yours, with documentation. Our own software already runs in production: our apps GivePro and Emanuel are live in the Shopify App Store.
What's the difference between MVP and Custom Project?
MVP Launch is a first working version with a fixed scope: up to 5 core features, live in 6–10 weeks. A Custom Project starts with a paid discovery phase, credited if you proceed, and has no feature limit.
Do you build admin dashboards?
Not in the MVP Launch package. Admin dashboards are available as an add-on or as part of a Custom Project.
Who owns the code after delivery?
You do. Full ownership (intellectual property) transfers to you on final payment, confirmed in a signed transfer document. Your data is always yours, whatever the payment status.
What tech stack do you use?
Next.js and React for the interface, PostgreSQL on Neon for data, Drizzle ORM and tRPC for the plumbing, Better Auth or Clerk for logins, deployed on Vercel. In plain terms: proven, widely used tools that any developer can take over later.
