Security & Compliance

Overview

Sqreen respects our customers' privacy and keeping our customers' data protected at all times is our highest priority.

This security policy provides a high-level overview of the security practices put in place to achieve that objective.

Have questions or feedback? Feel free to reach out to us at security@sqreen.io

Dedicated security team

Our security team is comprised of security experts dedicated to improving the security of our organization. Our team has played lead roles in designing and building highly secure Internet facing systems at companies ranging from startups to large public companies like Apple, Airbus and security consulting companies. Our employees are trained on security incident response and are on call 24/7.

Infrastructure

• All of our services run in the cloud. We don’t host or run our own routers, load balancers, DNS servers, or physical servers.
• Our service is built on Amazon Web Services (AWS). They provide strong security measures to protect our infrastructure and are compliant with most certifications. You can read more about their practices here.

Network level security monitoring and protection

Our network security architecture consists of multiple security zones. We monitor and protect our network, to make sure no unauthorized access is performed using:

• A virtual private cloud (VPC), a bastion host or VPN with network access control lists (ACL’s) and no public IP addresses.
• A firewall that monitors and controls incoming and outgoing network traffic.
• An Intrusion Detection and/or Prevention technologies (IDS/IPS) solution that monitors and blocks potential malicious packets.
• IP address filtering
• We use Sqreen to monitor and protect our infrastructure from automated scanners, bots and targeted attacks. It blocks attacks and alerts in case of critical threats. It also brings additional features like IP blocking etc.

DDoS protection

We use Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) mitigation services powered by an industry-leading solution.

Data encryption

Data retention and removal

We retain our users data for a period of 90 days after the trials end. All data is then completely removed from the dashboard and server. Every user can request the removal of usage data by contacting support. Read more about our privacy settings at sqreen.com/privacy .

Business continuity and disaster recovery

We back up all our critical assets and regularly attempt to restore the backup to guarantee a fast recovery in case of disaster. All our backups are encrypted.

Application security monitoring

• We use a security monitoring solution to get visibility into our application security, identify attacks and respond quickly to a data breach.
• We use technologies to monitor exceptions, logs and detect anomalies in our applications.
• We collect and store logs to provide an audit trail of our applications activity.
• We use Sqreen to monitor our applications. Security events are logged and notifications are sent in case of critical attacks to allow for fast remediation.

Application security protection

• We use a runtime protection system that identifies and blocks OWASP Top 10 and business logic attacks in real-time.
• We use security headers to protect our users from attacks. You can check our grade on SecurityHeaders.io
• We use Sqreen to integrate security in our applications and protect our users from data breaches. It integrates protections against the most critical attack categories like SQL injections, cross-site scripting and adds security headers to our application. It blocks attacks in real-time and warns us when attackers start stressing our applications.

Secure development

We develop following security best practices and frameworks (OWASP Top 10, SANS Top 25). We use the following best practices to ensure the highest level of security in our software:

• Developers participate in regular security training to learn about common vulnerabilities and threats
• We review our code for security vulnerabilities
• We regularly update our dependencies and make sure none of them has known vulnerabilities
• We use Static Application Security Testing (SAST) to detect basic security vulnerabilities in our codebase
• We use Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST) to scan our applications
• By using Sqreen we can more efficiently remediate vulnerabilities that were triggered by security tests, audits or bug bounty programs. We are also warned when application components with known vulnerabilities are used in production (dependencies).

Responsible disclosure

We encourage everyone that practices responsible disclosure and comply with our policies and terms of service to participate in our bug bounty program.

Please avoid automated testing and only perform security testing with your own data. Please do not disclose any information regarding the vulnerabilities until we fix them. Rewards are done at our discretion depending on the criticality of the vulnerability reported.

You can report vulnerabilities by contacting security@sqreen.io. Please include a proof of concept. We will respond as quickly as possible to your submission and won’t take legal actions if you follow the rules.

User protection

Compliance

Payment information

All payment instrument processing is safely outsourced to Stripe which is certified as a PCI Level 1 Service Provider. We don’t collect any payment information and are therefore not subject to PCI obligations.

Employee access

• Our strict internal procedure prevents any employee or administrator from gaining access to user data. Limited exceptions can be made for customer support.
• Our employees sign a Non-Disclosure and Confidentiality Agreement to protect our customers sensitive information.
