Most Teams Rush STS Certification | We Were Asked to Build the Hardest Part First
Most teams approach STS certification as a final step. Our experience was different. A client request led us deep into the security layer of the STS ecosystem long before certification began. Although we ultimately built and certified a Vending System and Token Server, that early work gave us a deeper understanding of token generation, encryption, and system behavior. The result was a first-attempt certification pass and several lessons on preparation, scope, and system design.
