Security Policy

At Planifyr, we take security seriously. This Security Policy outlines our commitment to protecting your data, systems, and infrastructure from unauthorized access, theft, and misuse. We implement industry-leading security practices to safeguard your information and ensure the integrity of our services.

1. Data Encryption

1.1 Encryption in Transit

All data transmitted between your device and our servers is encrypted using TLS (Transport Layer Security) 1.2 or higher. This encryption standard protects your information from interception during transmission.

• HTTPS protocol on all web connections
• SSL/TLS encryption for all API communications
• Encrypted email communications for sensitive information
• Secure WebSocket (WSS) connections for real-time data

1.2 Encryption at Rest

Data stored on our servers is encrypted using industry-standard AES-256 encryption. This ensures that even if storage devices are compromised, the data remains unreadable without the decryption key.

• AES-256 encryption for database storage
• Encrypted backups and archive storage
• Encrypted field-level encryption for sensitive data (passwords, API keys, payment information)
• Secure key management with automatic rotation

2. Authentication & Access Control

2.1 Strong Password Policies

We enforce strong password requirements to protect user accounts:

• Minimum 8 characters with uppercase, lowercase, numbers, and special characters
• Password expiration policies for sensitive accounts
• Prevention of common passwords and dictionary attacks
• Password hashing using bcrypt with salt rounds

2.2 Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)

We offer optional two-factor authentication to add an extra layer of security to your account:

• Time-based One-Time Password (TOTP) via authenticator apps
• SMS-based verification codes
• Backup codes for account recovery
• WebAuthn/FIDO2 support for hardware security keys

2.3 Role-Based Access Control (RBAC)

Access to sensitive data and features is restricted based on user roles and permissions:

• Principle of least privilege - users have only necessary permissions
• Admin, manager, and user-level access tiers
• Project-based access controls
• Time-limited access with automatic expiration
• Audit logs for all access and permission changes

2.4 Session Management

• Secure session tokens with expiration
• HTTPOnly and Secure flags on session cookies
• Session invalidation on logout
• Protection against session fixation and hijacking

3. Infrastructure Security

3.1 Secure Cloud Infrastructure

Our services are hosted on secure, compliant cloud platforms:

• Enterprise-grade cloud providers with SOC 2 Type II certification
• Geographically distributed data centers for redundancy
• Automated scaling and load balancing

3.2 Network Security

• Firewalls and intrusion detection/prevention systems (IDS/IPS)
• DDoS protection and mitigation
• WAF (Web Application Firewall) rules and monitoring
• Network segmentation and micro-segmentation
• VPN access for internal systems

3.3 Server & System Hardening

• Regular patching and security updates
• Minimal service exposure (closed ports, disabled unnecessary services)

4. Application Security

4.1 Secure Development Practices

We follow industry best practices in developing secure applications:

• OWASP Top 10 vulnerability prevention
• Secure coding standards and guidelines

• Dynamic application security testing (DAST)

4.2 Input Validation & Output Encoding

• Strict input validation on all user inputs
• Protection against SQL injection, XSS, and CSRF attacks
• Proper output encoding and escaping
• Content Security Policy (CSP) headers

4.3 API Security

• API authentication using OAuth 2.0 and API keys
• Rate limiting to prevent abuse
• Request signing and verification
• API versioning and deprecation management
• Comprehensive API access logging

4.4 Third-Party Dependencies

• Regular security audits of dependencies
• Automated vulnerability scanning (SAST/SCA tools)
• Timely patching of vulnerable libraries
• Software composition analysis (SCA)

5. Data Protection & Privacy

5.1 Data Classification

We classify data based on sensitivity level and apply appropriate security controls:

• Public: Non-sensitive data that can be freely shared
• Internal: Data for internal use only with standard protections
• Confidential: Sensitive business data requiring strong protection
• Restricted: Highly sensitive data (PII, payment info) with maximum protection

5.2 Data Access Logging

• Comprehensive audit logs of all data access
• Monitoring and alerting for suspicious access patterns
• User activity tracking and reporting
• Immutable log storage with long retention periods

5.3 Data Minimization

• Collect only necessary data for stated purposes
• Regular review and deletion of unnecessary data
• Data retention policies aligned with regulations
• Secure data disposal procedures

6. Backup & Disaster Recovery

6.1 Regular Backups

• Automated daily backups of all data
• Encrypted backup storage in geographically distributed locations
• Multiple backup copies at different retention periods
• Regular backup restoration testing

6.2 Business Continuity

• Documented disaster recovery plans
• Regular disaster recovery drills and testing
• Recovery Time Objective (RTO) of less than 4 hours
• Recovery Point Objective (RPO) of less than 1 hour
• Redundant systems and failover capabilities

7. Security Monitoring & Incident Response

7.1 24/7 Security Monitoring

We maintain continuous monitoring of our systems and networks for potential threats:

• Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) systems
• Real-time threat detection and alerting
• Behavioral analysis and anomaly detection
