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
• 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

3. Access Controls

3.1 Authentication

• OAuth 2.0: Secure third-party authentication (Google)
• Session Management: JWT-based sessions with secure, httpOnly cookies and automatic expiration (7-day maximum)
• reCAPTCHA v3: Bot protection on authentication flows
• Rate Limiting: Protection against brute force attacks

3.2 Authorization

• Role-Based Access Control (RBAC): Granular permissions based on user roles
• Principle of Least Privilege: Users have minimum necessary permissions
• Project Isolation: Data segregation between different projects
• API Key Management: Secure API keys with scope limitations

3.3 Team Access

• Confidentiality Agreements: NDAs signed by all team members
• Principle of Least Privilege: Team members only have access required for their role
• Offboarding: Immediate access revocation upon departure

4. Infrastructure Security

4.1 Cloud Infrastructure

• MongoDB Atlas: Managed database hosting with SOC 2 and ISO 27001 certification
• Docker Deployment: Containerized application with automated restart policies
• DDoS Protection: Cloudflare DDoS mitigation and WAF

4.2 Network Security

• Cloudflare WAF: Web Application Firewall protecting against common attacks
• TLS Termination: Cloudflare handles TLS termination and certificate management
• Restricted Access: Administrative access restricted to authorized personnel

4.3 Application Security

• OWASP Top 10: Protection against common web vulnerabilities
• Input Validation: Sanitization of all user inputs
• SQL Injection Prevention: Parameterized queries and ORM
• XSS Protection: Content Security Policy and output encoding
• CSRF Protection: Anti-CSRF tokens on all forms
• Dependency Scanning: Automated vulnerability scanning of third-party libraries

5. Monitoring and Detection

5.1 Monitoring

• Error Monitoring: Real-time error tracking and alerting via Sentry
• Structured Logging: Centralized application logging with timestamps and user context
• Uptime Monitoring: Service availability monitoring with alerting

5.2 Audit Logging

• Comprehensive Logging: All actions logged with timestamps and user IDs
• Immutable Logs: Tamper-proof audit trails
• Log Retention: Logs retained for 1 year minimum
• Compliance Reports: Audit logs available for compliance reviews

5.3 Incident Response

• Incident Response Plan: Documented procedures for security incidents
• Containment: Rapid isolation of affected systems
• Notification: Timely notification to affected users as required by law (72 hours for GDPR)

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

7.1 Current Compliance

• GDPR: Full compliance with EU General Data Protection Regulation
• CCPA: California Consumer Privacy Act compliance
• ePrivacy: EU ePrivacy Directive compliance
• PCI DSS: Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (via Stripe)

7.2 Aligned With

• SOC 2 Trust Service Criteria: Security controls aligned with AICPA SOC 2 framework. Formal Type II audit is on our roadmap.
• ISO 27001: Security practices aligned with ISO 27001 information security management framework. Certification is on our roadmap.

8. Security Testing

8.1 Vulnerability Management

• Dependency Scanning: Automated vulnerability scanning of third-party packages
• Responsible Disclosure: We welcome security researchers to report vulnerabilities (see section 12)
• Patch Management: Critical security patches applied promptly

8.2 Code Security

• Static Analysis: Automated code security scanning
• Code Reviews: Mandatory peer review for all code changes
• Dependency Audits: Regular audits of third-party dependencies
• Secure Development: OWASP secure coding practices

9. Business Continuity

9.1 High Availability

• Managed Database: MongoDB Atlas with automatic failover and replication
• Container Restart: Docker restart policies for automatic service recovery
