Security and Compliance

The platform includes built-in features for handling security and compliance, which is essential for enterprise applications.

Security and compliance are central to building applications that handle sensitive data and meet industry standards. The platform offers various features to safeguard data, ensure user privacy, and provide the controls needed to meet regulatory requirements, particularly for business and enterprise environments.

Key Security Features

1. Role-Based Access Control (RBAC): Our platform uses RBAC to control access to different parts of an application based on user roles. You can define specific permissions for roles like “Admin,” “Manager,” or “Employee,” and restrict access to certain data, forms, or actions depending on these roles. This granular control helps limit data exposure and reduces the risk of unauthorized access.
2. Data Encryption: Our platform supports data encryption for sensitive information both in transit (using HTTPS) and at rest (with database encryption). This protects data from unauthorized interception, a critical feature for applications handling sensitive data such as financial or healthcare information.
3. User Authentication and Authorization: We provide  support for Single Sign-On (SSO) and multi-factor authentication (MFA), which enhance security by requiring users to authenticate with multiple verification methods. It also integrates with various identity providers, like Azure AD or Okta, to manage user authentication securely.
4. Audit Logs: The platform maintains detailed audit logs that record user actions, data changes, and access attempts. This is crucial for compliance, as it provides traceability for any modifications to data or system configurations and can help detect suspicious activity or unauthorized access attempts.
5. API Security: In our platform offers robust API security measures, including API key management, IP whitelisting, and user-based access controls. This ensures that only authorized systems and users can interact with your application’s API, which is essential for applications that share data across systems.
6. Compliance with Data Privacy Regulations: We include features that help with GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) and other data privacy requirements, such as user consent management, data anonymization, and data retention controls. These features allow users to implement compliance measures directly within the application to meet privacy standards.
7. Secure Development Practices: Our platform has been designed with security best practices in mind, using OWASP (Open Web Application Security Project) guidelines. This includes protection against common vulnerabilities, like SQL injection, cross-site scripting (XSS), and cross-site request forgery (CSRF), helping secure applications from various web-based threats.

Compliance Support

1. Data Residency and Retention Policies: We allow you to define where data is stored (important for compliance in different jurisdictions) and manage data retention policies. For example, sensitive data can be automatically deleted after a certain period to comply with regulatory requirements, like GDPR’s “right to be forgotten.”
2. Audit Trails and Reporting: To support audits and compliance requirements, our platform’s audit logs can be exported and reviewed, helping organizations provide proof of compliance. Customizable reports also allow you to create compliance documentation as required by regulatory bodies.
3. User Consent Management: Our platform includes tools for gathering and recording user consent for data processing activities, which is essential under privacy regulations like GDPR. Users can manage consent preferences, view privacy notices, and request data deletion, all of which are required to meet data privacy standards.
4. Data Anonymization and Masking: To protect personally identifiable information (PII) and other sensitive data, we support data masking and anonymization. This capability allows you to obscure sensitive information when it’s accessed by unauthorized users or in non-production environments.
5. Compliance Certifications: For organizations with specific regulatory needs, we can help support compliance with standards like SOC 2, ISO 27001, or HIPAA. While our platform itself may not be certified for these standards (this depends on its deployment environment), the platform's security capabilities enable organizations to build compliant applications.

Example Use Cases

• Healthcare Applications: Using encryption, RBAC, and audit trails, a healthcare app could securely store patient data, only allowing access to authorized roles like doctors or administrative staff, meeting HIPAA requirements.
• Finance Portals: For a finance application, API security and data masking could protect sensitive financial data, while compliance features help meet regulatory requirements like SOX (Sarbanes-Oxley Act).
• GDPR-Compliant Marketing App: For a marketing app targeting EU residents, our platform’s consent management and data anonymization features ensure GDPR compliance by securing user data and allowing users control over their information.

By offering a wide range of security and compliance capabilities, we help protect data, ensure application integrity, and meet critical regulatory requirements. These built-in features provide a secure foundation, especially valuable for organizations handling high-stakes or regulated data.
