Can Claude code be trusted for production?

Claude-generated code should be treated with the same level of scrutiny as any third-party code before it reaches production. While Claude generally follows secure coding patterns more consistently than some alternatives, trust must be earned through verification, not assumed based on the model reputation. Critical systems handling payments, personal data, or authentication require human expert review regardless of the code source. Claude also cannot test its own output against your live infrastructure to verify it works securely in context. UNPWNED provides an independent, bounded outside-in assessment and reports completed findings; it does not verify internal payment, personal-data, or authentication logic.
