Security Practices

Security & data protection practices

At Rodeo Code, security isn’t an afterthought – it’s the foundation of everything we build. We implement enterprise-grade safeguards to protect your data, systems, and intellectual property throughout our partnership.

Our Security Framework

We adhere to a defense-in-depth approach across these critical domains:

🛡️

Application Security

  • OWASP Top 10 compliance for all web applications
  • SAST/DAST scanning throughout development
  • Automated vulnerability scanning
🔐

Data Protection

  • AES-256 encryption at rest and in transit
  • Tokenization of sensitive information
  • Field-level encryption for critical data
🌐

Infrastructure Security

  • VPC isolation for client environments
  • Web Application Firewalls (WAF)
  • DDoS protection and mitigation
👤

Access Control

  • Role-Based Access Control (RBAC)
  • Multi-Factor Authentication enforcement
  • Privileged Access Management

Development Security Protocols

Security begins at the first line of code. Our development process includes:

1

Secure Design

  • Threat modeling during architecture phase
  • Security requirements definition
  • Privacy by design implementation
2

Secure Coding

  • OWASP-compliant coding standards
  • Peer code reviews with security checklist
  • Automated dependency scanning
3

Secure Testing

  • Penetration testing by third-party firms
  • Automated security regression testing
  • Compliance verification scans

Security Certifications & Standards

SOC 2 Type II
ISO 27001
GDPR
CCPA
HIPAA
PCI DSS

Data Protection Measures

We implement multiple layers of protection for your sensitive information:

Encryption Standards

Data Type Encryption Method Key Management
Data at Rest AES-256 Cloud KMS with automatic rotation
Data in Transit TLS 1.3 Perfect Forward Secrecy
Sensitive Fields Field-Level Encryption Client-Controlled Keys

Access Controls

  • RBAC Implementation: Custom roles with least privilege principle
  • MFA Enforcement: Required for all privileged access
  • Audit Logging: All access attempts logged and monitored
  • Session Timeouts: Automatic logout after 15 minutes of inactivity

Data Resilience Strategy

🔄

Automated Backups

Daily incremental + weekly full backups

🌍

Geo-Redundancy

Data replicated across multiple regions

🔍

Integrity Checks

Automated verification of backup integrity

Recovery SLAs

4-hour RTO / 15-minute RPO guarantees

Infrastructure Security

Our technology stack is secured through multiple layers of protection:

Network Security

  • VPC Isolation with private subnets
  • Web Application Firewall (WAF) rules
  • DDoS protection with automatic scaling
  • Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS)

Endpoint Security

  • Hardened OS configurations
  • Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR)
  • Automated patch management
  • Device encryption enforcement

Cloud Security

  • Secure configuration baselines
  • Infrastructure-as-Code scanning
  • Cloud Security Posture Management
  • Continuous compliance monitoring

Trusted Hosting Partners

SOC 1/2/3, ISO 27001, PCI DSS
HIPAA, FedRAMP, ISO 27018
ISO 27001/27017/27018, CSA STAR

Operational Security

Our daily practices ensure continuous protection:

Personnel Security

  • Comprehensive background checks
  • Security training with quarterly refreshers
  • Strict confidentiality agreements
  • Principle of least privilege enforcement

Incident Response

Phase Action Timeline
Preparation Runbook development and training Ongoing
Identification 24/7 monitoring and alerting Immediate
Containment Isolate affected systems < 15 minutes
Eradication Root cause analysis and remediation < 4 hours
Recovery System restoration and validation < 24 hours
Lessons Learned Process improvement implementation < 72 hours

Third-Party Audits & Testing

  • Annual penetration testing by CREST-certified firms
  • Quarterly vulnerability assessments
  • Continuous security monitoring
  • SOC 2 Type II audits with reports available

Your Security Questions Answered

Where is our data stored?

All client data is stored in US-based data centers. We never transfer data outside approved jurisdictions without explicit consent.

How often do you test backups?

We perform backup integrity tests weekly and full restoration drills quarterly to ensure recoverability.

Do you offer compliance-specific solutions?

Yes, we build solutions compliant with HIPAA, GDPR, PCI-DSS, and other regulatory frameworks with appropriate documentation.
