Security

1. Security Overview

At Reaudit, security is fundamental to everything we do. We implement industry-leading security practices to protect your data, maintain platform integrity, and ensure business continuity.

Our security program is built on the principles of:

• Confidentiality: Protecting data from unauthorized access
• Integrity: Ensuring data accuracy and preventing tampering
• Availability: Maintaining reliable access to services
• Privacy: Respecting user rights and data protection laws

2. Data Encryption

2.1 Encryption in Transit

• TLS 1.3: All data transmitted between your browser and our servers is encrypted using TLS 1.3
• HTTPS Everywhere: We enforce HTTPS across all pages and APIs
• Certificate Pinning: Mobile apps use certificate pinning to prevent man-in-the-middle attacks
• Perfect Forward Secrecy: Session keys are ephemeral and cannot be compromised retroactively

2.2 Encryption at Rest

• AES-256: All stored data is encrypted using AES-256 encryption
• Database Encryption: MongoDB encryption at rest for all databases
• File Storage: AWS S3 server-side encryption for uploaded files
• Backup Encryption: All backups are encrypted before storage
• Key Management: Encryption keys are managed through AWS KMS with automatic rotation

2.3 Password Security

• Bcrypt Hashing: Passwords are hashed using bcrypt with salt
• No Plain Text: We never store passwords in plain text
• Password Requirements: Minimum 8 characters with complexity requirements
• Breach Detection: Integration with Have I Been Pwned to detect compromised passwords

3. Access Controls

3.1 Authentication

• Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA): Optional 2FA via TOTP (Google Authenticator, Authy)
• OAuth 2.0: Secure third-party authentication (Google, GitHub)

5.3 Incident Response

• Incident Response Plan: Documented procedures for security incidents
• Response Team: Dedicated security team on-call 24/7
• Containment: Rapid isolation of affected systems
• Forensics: Post-incident analysis and root cause investigation
• Notification: Timely notification to affected users as required by law

6. Data Protection

6.1 Data Minimization

We collect only the data necessary to provide our services and delete data when no longer needed.

6.2 Data Segregation

• Logical Separation: Each customer's data is logically separated
• Project Isolation: Projects within accounts are isolated
• Access Controls: Strict controls prevent cross-customer data access

6.3 Data Backup

• Automated Backups: Daily automated backups of all data
• Geographic Distribution: Backups stored in multiple regions
• Encryption: All backups encrypted at rest
• Retention: 30-day backup retention
• Testing: Regular backup restoration testing

6.4 Data Deletion

• Secure Deletion: Cryptographic erasure of deleted data
• Right to Deletion: Users can request data deletion
• Retention Policies: Automatic deletion after retention period
• Verification: Confirmation of complete data removal

7. Compliance and Certifications
