Data security has become an increasingly important topic as information stored and transmitted in electronic form has become the preferred method. In order to protect this information, developers need to follow, at minimum, some basic guidelines to secure this data from malicious attackers. However, security often takes a backseat while developing software and is either not implemented at all or is patched into the software at the end. Both are undesirable as it leave the software vulnerable to sensitive data leaks and lowers the overall quality of the application. These issues can be introduced by developers of any skill level. Existing static or dynamic analysis tool does not provide the functionality of interaction with user, which we believe can be an extremely valuable feature. We present Secure Sensitive Data (SSD) Eclipse IDE plug-in that can help bridge the gap in sensitive data leaks by aiding software developers interactively by pointing out issues in real-time and enforcing certain standards to protect sensitive data. Our SSD plugin enforces five best practices and standards that should at minimum keep data encrypted and proper handling of sensitive data. By continuously involving and reminding the developers of the security implications, SSD helps to mitigate security flaws in future software applications.
