Security at Nexentity

1. Data Protection & Encryption

We employ state-of-the-art cryptographic protocols to ensure your data remains secure at all times, whether it is in transit across the internet or resting in our databases.

• Data in Transit: All data transmitted between clients, our applications, and internal microservices is encrypted using TLS 1.3 or higher. We employ HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) to prevent downgrade attacks.
• Data at Rest: All databases, object storage buckets, and backups are encrypted at rest using AES-256 block-level encryption. Encryption keys are managed securely via AWS KMS or equivalent dedicated hardware security modules (HSM).
• Data Masking: Sensitive PII (Personally Identifiable Information) and PHI (Protected Health Information) are automatically masked or tokenized in our logging and analytics systems to prevent unauthorized exposure.

2. Infrastructure & Cloud Security

Our infrastructure is hosted on top-tier global cloud providers (AWS, GCP, Azure) that maintain the highest levels of physical and network security. We do not manage physical servers, eliminating physical hardware vulnerabilities.

• Network Isolation: Production systems operate within logically isolated Virtual Private Clouds (VPCs). Databases and internal APIs are placed in private subnets with no direct internet access.
• DDoS Protection: All edge traffic routes through advanced Web Application Firewalls (WAF) and DDoS mitigation services (such as Cloudflare or AWS Shield) to absorb volumetric attacks before they reach our origin servers.
• Immutable Infrastructure: We deploy applications using containerized, immutable images via strict CI/CD pipelines. Manual SSH access to production nodes is disabled by default and requires audited, temporary break-glass procedures.

3. Identity & Access Management (IAM)

We adhere strictly to the principle of least privilege (PoLP) and Zero Trust architecture. No user, system, or microservice is granted access to resources unless explicitly required to perform its function.

• Zero Trust Architecture: Every request is authenticated and authorized, regardless of whether it originates from outside or inside our network perimeter.
• Strict Authentication: All Nexentity employees and contractors are required to use Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) and Single Sign-On (SSO) backed by hardware security keys (FIDO2/WebAuthn).
• Role-Based Access Control (RBAC): Access to client environments, source code, and production databases is governed by strict RBAC policies and requires approval workflows. Access is logged and automatically revoked upon project completion.

4. Secure Development Lifecycle (SDLC)

Security is injected into the earliest phases of our software engineering process. Our developers are trained in secure coding practices (OWASP Top 10) to prevent vulnerabilities from ever reaching production.

• Automated Scanning: Every code commit triggers Static Application Security Testing (SAST) and Dependency/SCA scanning to catch known CVEs in third-party libraries.
• Dynamic Testing: Deployed staging environments undergo Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST) to identify runtime vulnerabilities like SQL injection and Cross-Site Scripting (XSS).
• Peer Review: 100% of code merged into the main branch requires mandatory manual peer review by senior engineers.

5. Compliance & Auditing

We operate under the assumption of continuous compliance. Our engineering processes are designed to align with major global regulatory and security frameworks.

Our systems and practices are built to support SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001, GDPR, and HIPAA requirements. We maintain extensive audit logs for all administrative actions, data access events, and infrastructure modifications. Logs are streamed to a centralized, tamper-evident SIEM system for anomaly detection and forensic analysis.
