DVA-C02 - Security - Section 2.8

Handle sensitive data in application code through data classification, sanitisation and secure credential handling to protect PII and PHI.

Classify data by sensitivity level - distinguishing personally identifiable information and protected health information from general application data - and apply sanitisation before storing or logging it. Handle credentials in application code by reading them from secure stores at runtime rather than embedding them in source or config files.
