Secure Development
We follow secure coding practices and OWASP guidelines. Code reviews, automated security scanning, and regular security training for our team.
Security
Security is fundamental to everything we build. Learn about our security practices, policies, and how we protect your data and applications.
Security Practices
How we keep your applications secure
Data Encryption
All data is encrypted in transit (TLS 1.3) and at rest. We use industry-standard encryption algorithms and key management practices.
Access Control
Principle of least privilege access. Multi-factor authentication, role-based access control, and regular access reviews.
Infrastructure Security
Hardened servers, network segmentation, and firewall rules. Regular security patching and vulnerability management.
Monitoring & Logging
24/7 security monitoring and alerting. Comprehensive logging with tamper-proof audit trails for security events.
Incident Response
Documented incident response plan with defined roles and procedures. Regular drills and continuous improvement.
Infrastructure Security
Enterprise-grade security measures
Cloudflare Protection
DDoS protection, Web Application Firewall (WAF), bot management, and SSL/TLS encryption. Edge-level security across 300+ locations.
AWS Security
VPC isolation, security groups, IAM policies, and AWS Shield. Compliance with AWS best practices and security standards.
Database Security
Encrypted databases with restricted access. Automated backups, point-in-time recovery, and disaster recovery plans.
Application Security
Protecting your applications from threats
Authentication & Authorization
Secure authentication with bcrypt password hashing, JWT tokens, and session management. OAuth 2.0 and OpenID Connect support.
Input Validation
Comprehensive input validation and sanitization. Protection against SQL injection, XSS, CSRF, and other common vulnerabilities.
API Security
Rate limiting, API authentication, and request validation. CORS policies and API versioning for backward compatibility.
Security Headers
Comprehensive security headers including CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options for defense in depth.
Dependency Management
Automated dependency scanning for vulnerabilities. Regular updates and patching of third-party libraries and frameworks.
Secrets Management
Secure storage of API keys, credentials, and sensitive configuration. Never hard-coded secrets, environment-based configuration.
Compliance & Standards
Meeting industry security standards
OWASP Top 10
All applications are developed with OWASP Top 10 security risks in mind and mitigated.
GDPR Compliance
Data protection practices aligned with GDPR requirements for handling personal data.
SOC 2 Principles
Security controls based on SOC 2 trust service principles for service organizations.
Industry Best Practices
Following CIS benchmarks, NIST guidelines, and industry-standard security frameworks.
Security Testing
Continuous security validation
Automated Scanning
Continuous security scanning with SAST, DAST, and dependency checks integrated into our CI/CD pipeline.
Penetration Testing
Regular penetration testing by qualified security professionals. Annual comprehensive assessments and targeted testing.
Security Audits
Periodic security audits of code, infrastructure, and processes. Third-party reviews for critical applications.
Reporting Security Vulnerabilities
We take security reports seriously
If you discover a security vulnerability in our systems or applications, please report it to us responsibly:
- Email: security@akaind.ca
- Provide detailed information about the vulnerability
- Allow reasonable time for us to address the issue before public disclosure
- We will acknowledge your report within 48 hours
We appreciate responsible disclosure and may recognize security researchers who help us improve our security.
Data Protection
How we protect your data
Data Minimization
We collect only the data necessary for service delivery. Regular data audits and cleanup of unnecessary data.
Data Retention
Clear data retention policies. Data is retained only as long as necessary for business or legal requirements.
Data Disposal
Secure data disposal procedures. Data is securely deleted or anonymized when no longer needed.
