Security Posture
Security Architecture
Defence-in-depth security with layered controls, comprehensive audit logging, encryption at rest and in transit, and security-by-design principles.
Discuss Security RequirementsSecurity-by-Design
Security is engineered from the start, not added as an afterthought. We follow defence-in-depth principles with layered security controls, assume breach mentality, and principle of least privilege throughout the platform.
The security controls described here represent our operational posture and best practices. We do not claim compliance certifications but operate with GDPR-conscious procedures and security-first architecture.
Security Control Framework
Access Control
- ✓ Multi-factor authentication (MFA) enforced for all access
- ✓ Role-based access control (RBAC) with least privilege principle
- ✓ Just-in-time (JIT) access provisioning for elevated permissions
- ✓ Regular access reviews and certification processes
- ✓ Service account management with key rotation
- ✓ IP allowlisting and network-based access restrictions
Encryption
- ✓ TLS 1.3 for all data in transit
- ✓ AES-256 encryption for data at rest
- ✓ Encrypted backup and snapshot storage
- ✓ Key management with hardware security module (HSM) backing
- ✓ Certificate lifecycle management and rotation
- ✓ End-to-end encryption options for sensitive workloads
Network Security
- ✓ Network segmentation with micro-segmentation capability
- ✓ Web application firewall (WAF) with custom rule support
- ✓ DDoS protection with volumetric attack mitigation
- ✓ Private network connectivity options
- ✓ Egress filtering and traffic inspection
- ✓ Intrusion detection system (IDS) monitoring
Hardening & Patching
- ✓ CIS benchmark-aligned baseline configurations
- ✓ Regular vulnerability scanning and assessment
- ✓ Coordinated security patching with maintenance windows
- ✓ Immutable infrastructure patterns where applicable
- ✓ Container image scanning and policy enforcement
- ✓ Security baseline validation and drift detection
Audit & Compliance
- ✓ Comprehensive audit logging across all systems
- ✓ Centralized log aggregation with tamper-evident storage
- ✓ Regular security audit reviews and reporting
- ✓ GDPR-conscious data handling procedures
- ✓ Incident response and forensic investigation capability
- ✓ Third-party security assessment readiness
Application Security
- ✓ Secrets management with encrypted storage
- ✓ API authentication and authorization patterns
- ✓ Rate limiting and abuse prevention
- ✓ Input validation and sanitization guidance
- ✓ Secure deployment pipeline integration
- ✓ Security scanning in CI/CD processes
Compliance Posture
We operate with GDPR-conscious data handling procedures and security-first architecture. Specific compliance requirements (ISO 27001, SOC 2, Cyber Essentials, etc.) are discussed during the discovery phase and can be addressed through tailored controls and third-party assessments.
GDPR Awareness
Data processing, storage, and retention procedures designed with GDPR principles in mind: data minimization, purpose limitation, access rights, and data deletion capabilities.
Audit Readiness
Comprehensive audit logging, evidence collection procedures, and documentation practices that support third-party security assessments and compliance audits.
Data Residency
UK-based infrastructure with data residency options. Data location transparency and controls to meet data sovereignty requirements for regulated industries.
Vendor Assessment
Security documentation, architecture diagrams, and control evidence available to support your vendor risk assessment and due diligence processes.
Security Incident Response
We follow a structured incident response process for security incidents with defined roles, escalation paths, communication protocols, and post-incident review procedures.
Detection & Triage
Security monitoring with SIEM integration, automated threat detection, and alert routing to security operations team. Initial triage to determine severity and required response.
Containment & Eradication
Rapid containment procedures to limit blast radius. Evidence preservation for forensic analysis. Root cause identification and threat eradication with verification.
Communication & Recovery
Transparent communication to affected parties with timeline and impact assessment. Recovery procedures with validation. Return to normal operations with enhanced monitoring.
Post-Incident Review
Blameless post-incident review to identify learnings and action items. Control improvements and procedure updates. Regular review of incident trends and patterns.
