Physical and Network security

Empuls is hosted on Amazon's AWS platform and infrastructure. Empuls employees do not have any physical access to our production environment. As an Amazon - AWS customer, we are benefitted from a data centre and network architecture built to meet the requirements of the most security-sensitive organisations.

AWS data centres are housed in nondescript facilities, with military-grade perimeter control berms with professional security staff utilising video surveillance, state of the art intrusion detection systems, and other electronic means.

In addition to Apart from the physical security, AWS platform also provides significant protection against traditional network security issues including -

• Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS).
• AttacksMan In the Middle (MITM).
• AttacksPort Scanning.
• Packet sniffing by other tenants.

Administrative operations

Empuls uses two-factor authentication to grant access for our administrative operations - both infrastructure and services. We ensure that administrative privileges are granted to only a few employees. Additionally, role-based access is used to ensure specific users have only required operations that are allowed for specific users as per the access control policy.

All administrative access is automatically logged and monitored by our internal security team. Detailed information on when/why the operations are carried out are documented and notified to the security team before performing any changes in the production environment.

Empuls has deployed an information technology network to facilitate its business and make it more efficient for various risks. And establish management direction, principles, and standard requirement to ensure that the appropriate protection of information on its networks maintained and sustained. Few controls which in place to achieve the protection of exchanged information from interception, copying, modification, misrouting, and destruction as follow:

Host security

SSH keys are required to gain console access to our servers and each login is identified by a user. All critical operations are logged to a central log server and our servers can be accessed only from restricted and secure IPs.

Hosts are segmented, and accesses are restricted based on functionality. That is, application requests are allowed only from AWS ELB and database servers can be accessed only from application servers.

Application security

Secure Access - ‍Empuls's application servers are all secure HTTPS. We use industry-standard encryption for data traversing to and from the application servers.

Cross-site scripting (also known as XSS) - All user inputs are well encoded when displayed to ensure XSS vulnerabilities are mitigated.

Cross-site request forgery (CSRF) - All POST requests are checked for CSRF token before processing the request.

SQL Injection - We use prepared statements for database access to avoid SQL Injection attacks.

Encrypted Data Storage - ‍Empuls does not store any sensitive user information. The keys for various third-party services (like payment gateway) - if stored, are all in the encrypted form in the database.

Vulnerability Scanning & Patching - ‍We periodically check and apply patches for third-party software/services. As and when vulnerabilities are discovered we apply the fixes. We do periodic vulnerability Assessment and Penetration testing using the services of an authorised vendor.

Data storage & redundancy

We use Amazon's RDS for our database. The automated backup feature is configured for RDS. We backup data for up to 30 days. We have configured Amazon RDS in Multi-AZ which provides enhanced availability and durability. Each AZ runs on its own physically distinct, independent infrastructure, and is engineered to be highly reliable. Know more.

Monitoring

Empuls uses both internal and multiple external monitoring services to make sure the environment is secure. Our monitoring system will alert the concerned teams through emails and phone calls if there are any errors or abnormality in the request pattern.
