Security & Compliance

    Enterprise-Grade Security for Sensitive Financial Data

    Bank statements contain highly sensitive data. TraceDataIQ is built from the ground up with security, encryption, and compliance as core requirements—not afterthoughts.

    Defense-in-Depth Architecture

    Every request passes through five layers of security before reaching your data. Each layer independently validates and protects — so even if one layer were compromised, your data remains secure.

    01

    Encrypted connection established via TLS 1.3 between client and server

    02

    Web Application Firewall inspects and filters malicious traffic and DDoS attempts

    03

    JWT authentication verified with optional MFA challenge

    04

    Row-Level Security enforces tenant isolation at the database query level

    05

    Data encrypted at rest using AES-256 with quarterly key rotation

    WAF / DDoS Shield

    Security Architecture

    Defense-in-depth across every layer of the stack.

    Encryption at Rest & Transit

    All data is encrypted using AES-256 at rest and TLS 1.3 in transit. Your sensitive financial data is never exposed.

    • AES-256 encryption for stored data
    • TLS 1.3 for all API communication
    • Encrypted database connections via SSL
    • Secure file storage with signed URLs
    • Key rotation policies enforced quarterly

    Row-Level Security (RLS)

    Multi-tenant isolation is enforced at the database level. Each tenant can only access their own data—period.

    • PostgreSQL RLS policies on every table
    • Tenant ID verification on all queries
    • Zero cross-tenant data leakage by design
    • Super admin audit trails for elevated access
    • Database-level enforcement (not application-level)

    Authentication & Authorization

    Defense-in-depth access controls with role-based permissions and scoped API keys.

    • Email/password authentication with MFA
    • Role hierarchy: Super Admin → Client Admin → Analyst
    • Scoped API keys with granular permissions
    • JWT-based session tokens with automatic refresh
    • Brute-force protection and account lockout

    Audit Logging & Monitoring

    Every action is logged with actor, timestamp, IP address, and user agent for complete accountability.

    • Comprehensive action logging for all operations
    • Actor identification with IP and user agent tracking
    • Tamper-proof, append-only audit trail
    • Real-time anomaly detection alerts
    • Exportable audit reports for compliance

    Certifications & Compliance

    Industry-recognized standards validated through independent audits and continuous monitoring.

    SOC 2 Type II Compliant

    Audited

    Our infrastructure and operations are SOC 2 Type II certified, demonstrating our commitment to the Trust Services Criteria for security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, and privacy.

    • Continuous monitoring of all five Trust Services Criteria
    • Controls over logical and physical access, system operations, change management, and risk mitigation
    • Report available to customers and prospects under NDA

    PCI DSS Certified

    Level 1

    While TraceDataIQ does not directly process or store payment card data, our infrastructure and security practices are aligned with PCI DSS standards to ensure the highest level of data protection.

    • Payment processing handled by PCI Level 1 certified provider (Stripe)
    • No cardholder data stored, processed, or transmitted by TraceDataIQ
    • Network segmentation and firewall rules per PCI requirements
    • Regular vulnerability scans and penetration testing

    GDPR Compliant

    Compliant

    Our data handling practices are designed to meet GDPR requirements, including data minimization, purpose limitation, and individual rights management.

    • Data processing agreements with all sub-processors
    • Right to access, correction, and deletion honored within 30 days
    • Data minimization — we only collect what's necessary
    • Privacy Impact Assessments conducted for new features

    CCPA / CPRA

    Compliant

    California Consumer Privacy Act compliance ensures California residents have full visibility and control over their personal information.

    • No sale of personal information
    • Transparent disclosure of data collection practices
    • Opt-out mechanisms for data sharing
    • Annual compliance review and employee training

    Infrastructure & Platform Security

    Built on modern, hardened infrastructure with security baked into every component.

    Cloud Infrastructure

    Hosted on enterprise-grade cloud infrastructure with multi-region availability, automated failover, and 99.99% uptime SLA from our hosting provider.

    Data Residency

    All primary data resides in US-based data centers. Encrypted backups are stored in geographically separate regions for disaster recovery.

    Network Security

    Multi-layered network protection including Web Application Firewall (WAF), DDoS mitigation, IP whitelisting for API access, and network segmentation.

    Edge Computing

    Serverless edge functions execute close to users for low-latency processing, with automatic scaling to handle traffic spikes without performance degradation.

    Zero Trust Architecture

    Every request is authenticated and authorized regardless of origin. No implicit trust based on network location or previous authentication.

    Secure Development Lifecycle

    Code reviews, static analysis, dependency scanning, and automated security testing are integrated into every release cycle.

    Operational Security Practices

    Security is not just technology—it's people, processes, and continuous improvement. Our operational practices ensure threats are identified and addressed proactively.

    Penetration Testing

    Third-party penetration testing conducted annually by accredited security firms, with remediation tracked to completion.

    Vulnerability Management

    Automated vulnerability scanning with critical patches applied within 24 hours and high-severity within 7 days.

    Incident Response

    Documented incident response plan with 24/7 on-call team, <1 hour initial response SLA, and post-incident reviews.

    Business Continuity

    Tested disaster recovery procedures with RPO < 1 hour and RTO < 4 hours. Regular failover drills conducted quarterly.

    Employee Security

    Background checks, security awareness training, principle of least privilege, and mandatory MFA for all employees.

    Vendor Risk Management

    All third-party vendors assessed for security posture with ongoing monitoring and contractual security requirements.
