All data encrypted at rest and in transit using industry-standard protocols

At Rest

  • AES-256 encryption
  • Database-level encryption
  • File storage encryption (S3, Azure Blob)
  • Encrypted backups

In Transit

  • TLS 1.3 for all connections
  • HTTPS enforcement (HSTS)
  • Certificate pinning
  • Perfect Forward Secrecy (PFS)

Access Control & Authentication

Multi-layered access controls with least privilege principle

User Authentication

  • • Multi-factor authentication (MFA)
  • • SSO integration (SAML, OAuth 2.0)
  • • Password complexity requirements
  • • Session timeout (30 minutes)

Role-Based Access

  • • Granular permissions system
  • • Least privilege enforcement
  • • Regular access reviews
  • • Automated deprovisioning

Infrastructure

  • • VPN for admin access
  • • SSH key authentication
  • • IP allowlisting
  • • Hardware security keys (YubiKey)

Network & Infrastructure Security

Defense-in-depth architecture with multiple security layers

Web Application Firewall (WAF): Cloudflare Enterprise with DDoS protection, rate limiting, and bot mitigation
Network Segmentation: Production, staging, and development environments isolated with VPC boundaries
Intrusion Detection/Prevention (IDS/IPS): Real-time threat monitoring and automatic blocking
Security Groups & Firewalls: Restrictive inbound rules, default-deny policies

Application & Code Security

Secure development lifecycle and continuous security testing

  • Static Analysis (SAST): Automated code scanning on every commit
  • Dependency Scanning: Automated vulnerability detection in libraries
  • Code Review: Mandatory peer review for all changes
  • Penetration Testing: Annual third-party pentests
  • Bug Bounty Program: HackerOne-hosted responsible disclosure
  • Security Training: Quarterly OWASP Top 10 training for engineers

Data Protection & Privacy

Technical and organizational measures to protect personal data

Data Minimization

We collect only necessary data and implement automatic deletion schedules based on retention policies.

Pseudonymization

Production data masked for non-production environments. PII redacted in logs and analytics.

Data Loss Prevention (DLP)

Automated detection and blocking of sensitive data exfiltration attempts.

Backup & Recovery

Daily encrypted backups with 30-day retention. RPO: 1 hour, RTO: 4 hours.

Monitoring & Incident Response

24/7 Security Monitoring

Continuous monitoring and alerting for security events

  • SIEM: Centralized log aggregation and analysis (Splunk/DataDog)
  • Anomaly Detection: Machine learning for abnormal behavior patterns
  • Real-time Alerts: PagerDuty escalation for critical events
  • Audit Logging: Immutable logs for all data access (7-year retention)

Incident Response

Structured incident response process with defined SLAs

1

Detection & Triage

Automated alerts → SOC team review (15 min SLA)

2

Containment

Isolate affected systems, revoke access (1 hour SLA)

3

Investigation & Remediation

Root cause analysis, patch deployment

4

Notification

Affected users notified within 72 hours (GDPR Art. 33/34)

5

Post-Incident Review

Lessons learned, process improvements
