Security & Data Protection

How we protect your source code and sensitive information

Last updated: July 2025

🔒 Bank-Level Security Promise

Your source code is treated with the same security standards as financial institutions use for sensitive data. We understand that your code is your most valuable intellectual property.

Code Handling Security

🗑️ Ephemeral Access

Your code exists in our systems only during the active review period. No permanent storage, no long-term retention.

🔐 Encrypted Storage

Any temporary storage uses AES-256 encryption at rest and TLS 1.3 for data in transit.

👥 Limited Access

Only your assigned reviewer(s) can access your code. No shared access, no administrative overrides.

📄 Legal Protection

All reviewers sign comprehensive NDAs with severe financial penalties for any breach of confidentiality.

Data Lifecycle Management

During Review

  • Secure Repository Access: Read-only access via secure tokens
  • Isolated Environment: Code reviewed in sandboxed, air-gapped systems
  • No Code Copying: Reviewers cannot download, copy, or export your code
  • Session Monitoring: All reviewer activity is logged and monitored

After Review Completion

  • Immediate Deletion: All code copies deleted within 24 hours
  • Secure Wiping: Multiple-pass deletion ensures no data recovery
  • Access Revocation: All repository access tokens immediately revoked
  • Audit Trail: Deletion confirmed via automated audit logs

Infrastructure Security

Technical Safeguards

  • Network Security: VPN-only access, firewall protection, intrusion detection
  • System Hardening: Regular security updates, minimal software installation
  • Access Controls: Multi-factor authentication for all team members
  • Backup Security: No code included in system backups

Compliance & Standards

  • SOC 2 Type II: Annual third-party security audits
  • GDPR Compliant: Full compliance with EU data protection regulations
  • ISO 27001: Information security management system certification
  • Regular Penetration Testing: Quarterly security assessments

Reviewer Vetting Process

All reviewers undergo rigorous security screening:

  • Background Checks: Professional and criminal background verification
  • Technical Expertise: Minimum 10+ years of production development experience
  • Security Training: Specialized training in secure code review practices
  • Ongoing Monitoring: Regular performance and security compliance reviews
  • Legal Agreements: Comprehensive NDAs with financial penalties

Incident Response

In the unlikely event of a security incident:

  • Immediate Response: 24/7 security team with 1-hour response time
  • Client Notification: Immediate notification within 2 hours of detection
