3. Data Storage & Security

We implement industry-standard security measures to protect your data:

  • Encryption in transit: All data is transmitted over TLS (HTTPS). No unencrypted connections are accepted.
  • Encryption at rest: Payment gateway credentials and sensitive configuration data are encrypted using AES-256 before storage.
  • Password security: Passwords are hashed using bcrypt with a cost factor of 10. We never store plaintext passwords.
  • Authentication: All API endpoints require JWT-based authentication. Tokens expire after a set period and must be refreshed.
  • Input sanitisation: All user inputs are sanitised to prevent XSS, SQL injection, and other injection attacks.
  • Content Security Policy: We enforce CSP headers to prevent unauthorised script execution.
  • Access control: Role-based access ensures staff can only access data relevant to their role and branch.
  • Audit logging: All significant actions are logged with timestamps and user identity. Audit logs are retained for 365 days.

We do not store raw credit or debit card numbers. All payment card processing is handled by our PCI-compliant payment gateway partners (see Third-Party Services below).
