Security & Trust Whitepaper
APPHOX Technologies is engineered from the ground up with enterprise-grade security, resilience, and compliance at the core. This whitepaper outlines our infrastructure protections, data governance principles, encryption strategy, monitoring framework, and global compliance posture.
Updated 2025 • Prepared for CISOs, CTOs, auditors, and compliance teams.
1. Infrastructure Security Architecture
APPHOX leverages hardened cloud environments across AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, and private datacenters, depending on customer requirements. Our security model combines zero-trust access, privileged access controls, and continuous monitoring across all environments.
- Tier-IV and ISO 27001:2013 certified datacenters
- Defense-in-depth network segmentation
- WAF, anti-DDoS and L7 threat detection layers
- Privileged Access Management (PAM) enforced
- All servers hardened using CIS Benchmarks
2. Data Encryption & Key Management
All customer data is encrypted by default using industry-leading cryptographic standards.
- AES-256 encryption at rest
- TLS 1.3 for all data in transit
- HSM/KMS-based managed encryption keys
- Automatic key rotation every 90 days
- SSO/SAML + MFA enforced for admins
3. Application Security (AppSec)
APPHOX follows a secure SDLC model with continuous scanning, automated SAST/DAST pipelines, API security hardening and mandatory code reviews.
- OWASP Top 10 compliant engineering practices
- API gateway-level rate limiting
- JWT with short-lived tokens
- Penetration tests (internal + external)
- Automated dependency vulnerability scanning
4. Identity, Access Control & Zero-Trust
APPHOX uses role-based access control (RBAC), least-privilege enforcement, and identity federation mechanisms to ensure secure access boundaries.
- RBAC + granular permission sets per module
- SSO (Okta, Google, Azure AD)
- Adaptive MFA based on risk scoring
- Zero-trust internal communication channels
5. Monitoring, SIEM & Security Operations
Our 24×7 security operation framework monitors anomalies, insider threats, policy deviations and security events in real time.
- Centralized SIEM (ELK / Sentinel / Splunk)
- UEBA-based anomaly detection
- Automated threat alerts & incident triage
- Immutable audit logs for compliance
- Continuous cloud posture evaluation (CSPM)
6. Compliance & Governance
APPHOX aligns with international and Indian compliance frameworks. Certifications depend on the deployment model (cloud / private cloud / on-prem).
- ISO 27001:2013-aligned policies
- SOC 2 Type II controls mapping
- GDPR Articles 5, 6, 25, 32 & 46 mapped
- India DPDP Act compliance for consent + data minimization
- HIPAA (for healthcare clients) on request
7. AI & ML Security (APPHOX AI Stack)
Our AI engine includes safeguards for prompt-validation, hallucination reduction, access isolation, and dataset anonymization.
- AI inference isolation per tenant
- PII scrubbing before model processing
- Model vulnerability scanning
- Encrypted embedding stores
