The views here are my own. Vincent is free to put the footer of his liking :-D
I would like to clarify that I was involved both in web site
development for very large projects in Europe, spanning over multiple
servers in various countries. The pressure was immense, and I was
responsible for handling scalability as well as security on the
website. I saw our project manager getting yelled at over security
problems, and suddenly we went from focusing on correcting
performance, to scrambling to fix the security issues. That's a fact,
when you work on projects that are worth a lot of money. So, while I
understand how web agencies operate, I cannot blame them. I was
thinking more in terms of: "If I knew there would be security problem
later on, what could I have done ?" Propose to a client a security
contract on top of maintainance. Later we tried this, and it worked.
If the client doesn't sign up, at least you have made him aware of the
risks of him being cheap or just short on budget. They can budget for
it in the next year.
