# Security

> Enterprise-grade security architecture and defense-in-depth strategies

Noxus is built on a foundation of **defense-in-depth**, ensuring that security is integrated into every layer of the platform—from the physical infrastructure to the application code and user access controls.

## Data Protection

We employ industry-standard encryption and isolation techniques to ensure your data remains confidential and tamper-proof.

<CardGroup cols={2}>
  <Card title="Encryption at Rest & Transit" icon="lock">
    All data is protected using **AES-256 encryption** at rest and **TLS 1.3** in transit. This ensures that even in the event of physical theft or network interception, your information remains unreadable.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Hardware Security Modules" icon="key">
    Key management is handled through **HSM** or cloud-native **KMS** solutions, providing a root of trust that is physically separated from the application environment.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Multi-Tenant Isolation" icon="layer-group">
    Workspaces provide strict logical isolation between different teams and projects. Data from one workspace is never accessible to another, preventing cross-tenant leakage.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Worker Pool Segregation" icon="server">
    For sensitive workloads, you can deploy **isolated worker pools**. This allows you to process PII or regulated data on dedicated hardware within specific security zones.

## Identity & Access Management (IAM)

Noxus provides robust tools to control who can access your resources and what actions they can perform.

### Authentication

We support modern authentication standards to ensure only authorized users can enter the platform:

* **Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)**: Mandatory for all administrative accounts.
* **Single Sign-On (SSO)**: Seamless integration with enterprise identity providers (SAML, OIDC).
* **Granular API Keys**: Scoped keys that follow the principle of least privilege.

### Role-Based Access Control (RBAC)

Access is managed through a sophisticated permissions system:

* **Predefined Roles**: Quick-start with roles like Admin, Developer, and Viewer.
* **Custom Scopes**: Create bespoke roles tailored to your organization's specific workflow requirements.
* **Audit Logging**: Every action—from login to flow execution—is recorded in a tamper-proof audit trail.

## Network & Infrastructure Security

Whether you are on our SaaS platform or running on-premises, your network perimeter is protected by multiple layers of defense.

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Perimeter Defense" icon="shield-halved">
    * **DDoS Protection**: Automated mitigation against large-scale network attacks.
    * **Web Application Firewall (WAF)**: Filters out common web exploits like SQL injection and cross-site scripting (XSS).
    * **VPC Isolation**: All SaaS resources run within isolated Virtual Private Clouds.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Internal Communication" icon="network-wired">
    * **mTLS**: Service-to-service communication is encrypted and authenticated using mutual TLS.
    * **Private Networking**: Worker pools communicate with the control plane over secure, private tunnels.
    * **IP Allowlisting**: Restrict access to the platform or specific APIs to known corporate IP ranges.
  </Accordion>
</AccordionGroup>

## Compliance & Monitoring

We maintain a proactive security posture through continuous monitoring and adherence to global standards.

### Auditability

Noxus provides high-fidelity audit trails to ensure every action is accountable and traceable:

* **Comprehensive Audit Logs**: Every administrative and management action—including resource creation, role updates, and flow executions—is recorded with full context (user identity, timestamp, and payload).
* **API Call Logging**: Detailed tracking of every incoming request, including response codes, duration, and the specific API key or user responsible.
* **Tamper-Proof Storage**: Logs are stored in a dedicated persistence layer and can be exported to external SIEM platforms for long-term retention and forensic analysis.

<Columns cols={2}>
  <div>
    ### Certified Standards

    * **SOC 2 Type II**: Verified operational security and data privacy.
    * **GDPR**: Full compliance with European data protection regulations.
    * **HIPAA**: Eligible for healthcare workloads in on-premises deployments.
    * **ISO 27001**: Framework implementation currently in progress.
  </div>

  <div>
    ### Proactive Monitoring

    * **Intrusion Detection (IDS)**: Real-time monitoring for suspicious system behavior.
    * **Anomaly Detection**: AI-powered alerts for unusual usage patterns or access attempts.
    * **SIEM Integration**: Export audit and system logs to your corporate security operations center.

## Security Best Practices

<Steps>
  <Step title="Enforce MFA">
    Require multi-factor authentication for all users across the organization.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Least Privilege">
    Assign users only the minimum permissions necessary for their specific role.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Rotate Secrets">
    Regularly rotate API keys and integration credentials to minimize the impact of potential leaks.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Audit Regularly">
    Review audit logs and user access permissions on a monthly basis.
  </Step>
