a non-transitory processor-readable medium storing machine-readable instructions that cause the processor to:

enable displaying at least one backend application as a contact of a user on a user interface (UI) of a social media application;

enable access to the at least one backend application via the UI of the social media application, wherein the at least one backend application is accessible for interactions as the contact of the user on the social media application via a unique identifier associated with the at least one backend application on the social media application;

receive a request for access to the at least one backend application from the user via a user device;

extract metadata from the request and the social media application;

validate the user and the request via a plurality of validation steps,

receive results from the at least one backend application,

wherein the results are generated upon the execution of tasks associated with the request on the at least one backend application;

identify sensitive data in the results received from the at least one backend application,
