Security & Compliance

Security is foundational to the Vane Loop platform. We implement defense-in-depth controls spanning infrastructure, application, data, and organizational layers.

Data Encryption

Encryption at Rest

• AES-256 encryption for all data stored in databases and file systems
• Encrypted database backups with separate key management
• Encrypted AI model artifacts and configuration data

Encryption in Transit

• TLS 1.2 or higher for all client-server communications
• TLS 1.3 preferred where supported
• HSTS (HTTP Strict Transport Security) enabled
• Perfect Forward Secrecy (PFS) cipher suites

Access Control

Authentication

• Multi-factor authentication (MFA) required for all administrative access
• MFA optional for end users, recommended for Pro and above
• Secure session management with automatic timeout
• Protection against brute-force attacks via rate limiting

Authorization

• Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) with principle of least privilege
• Granular permissions per subscription tier and user role
• Logical data isolation between customer accounts
• Separate production and development environments

Infrastructure Security

Network Protection

• Cloud-based firewalls with restrictive inbound rules
• Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) and monitoring
• DDoS protection at the CDN and application layers
• Private networking for internal service communication

Platform Security

• Regular security patching and updates
• Automated vulnerability scanning
• Container security scanning for Docker images
• Infrastructure as Code (IaC) with security policy enforcement

Application Security

Secure Development

• Secure Software Development Lifecycle (SSDLC)
• Code review process with security checkpoints
• Static Application Security Testing (SAST)
• Dependency vulnerability scanning
• Security-focused linting and automated checks

Runtime Protection

• Protection against OWASP Top 10 vulnerabilities
• Input validation and sanitization
• CSRF (Cross-Site Request Forgery) protection
• XSS (Cross-Site Scripting) prevention
• SQL injection prevention via parameterized queries
• Content Security Policy (CSP) headers

Data Protection

Data Lifecycle Management

• Secure data deletion with cryptographic erasure
• Automated retention policy enforcement
• Data minimization: collect only what's needed
• Anonymization and pseudonymization for benchmarks

Backup and Recovery

• Daily automated backups with encryption
• Point-in-time recovery capability
• Recovery Time Objective (RTO): 4 hours
• Recovery Point Objective (RPO): 1 hour
• Regular backup restoration testing

Monitoring and Incident Response

Security Monitoring

• 24/7 automated security monitoring and alerting
• Centralized logging with tamper-proof audit trails
• Anomaly detection for unusual access patterns
• Failed authentication attempt monitoring

Incident Response

• Documented incident response plan
• Defined escalation procedures
• Data breach notification within 72 hours (GDPR requirement)
• Post-incident review and remediation process

Organizational Security

Personnel Security

• Background checks for employees with data access
• Mandatory security awareness training
• Confidentiality agreements (NDAs)
• Regular security refresher training
• Immediate access revocation upon employee departure

Vendor Management

• Security assessment of all sub-processors
• Contractual data protection obligations
• Regular vendor security reviews
• Documented sub-processor list (see Sub-Processors)

Compliance and Certifications

Regulatory Compliance

• GDPR (EU General Data Protection Regulation)
• CCPA/CPRA (California Consumer Privacy Act)
• Delaware DPDPA (Delaware Personal Data Privacy Act)
• U.S. state privacy laws (Virginia, Colorado, Connecticut, etc.)
• EU AI Act (Regulation (EU) 2024/1689) - Limited-risk AI classification

Standards and Frameworks

• Alignment with ISO/IEC 27001 controls
• SOC 2 Type II readiness (certification in progress)
• OWASP Application Security Verification Standard (ASVS)
• NIST Cybersecurity Framework alignment

Penetration Testing

• Annual third-party penetration testing
• Quarterly internal security assessments
• Responsible disclosure program for security researchers
• Timely remediation of identified vulnerabilities

Business Continuity

• Documented business continuity plan (BCP)
• Disaster recovery procedures
• Geographic redundancy for critical systems
• Regular BCP testing and updates

Responsible Disclosure

Security researchers: if you discover a security vulnerability, please report it responsibly to:

Email: security@vaneloop.com

Please include:

• Description of the vulnerability
• Steps to reproduce
• Potential impact assessment
• Suggested remediation (if applicable)

We commit to:

• Acknowledge receipt within 48 hours
• Provide regular status updates
• Credit researchers (with permission) for valid findings
• Not pursue legal action for good-faith security research
