To secure a Convex application, run a security audit covering authentication, function exposure, argument validation, row-level access control, and environment variable management to ensure robust backend protection before deployment.

Implement row-level access control in Convex by applying patterns for data ownership checks that verify user identity and restrict query or mutation results to only the rows a user is authorized to access.

The best way to validate arguments in Convex functions is to use strict data validation patterns that ensure all inputs match expected schemas before executing internal logic or database mutations.

Manage environment variables and secrets in a Convex backend by following secure secret management patterns that prevent exposure and ensure sensitive data is handled correctly during function execution.

Control internal function exposure in Convex by auditing function visibility and applying patterns that restrict public access, ensuring only authorized users can invoke specific queries and mutations.

Common security pitfalls when building Convex applications include insufficient user identity verification, exposed internal functions, lax argument validation, and missing data ownership checks, all addressable using recommended secure coding patterns.
