Security at Iaptic

At Iaptic, we take the security of your data seriously. This document outlines our security practices and infrastructure.

Our Security Foundation

We built Iaptic with security at its core. Our platform processes millions of transactions while maintaining:

  • 🔒 Encrypted transport (TLS / HTTPS)
  • 🇪🇺 EU-based production infrastructure (Germany)
  • 🏢 Multi-datacenter redundancy
  • ⚡ High-availability architecture

Data Security

Data Encryption

  • Passwords are stored as salted bcrypt hashes
  • The API and website are served over TLS (HTTPS), and our SDKs use it by default

Access Controls

  • Access to production systems is strictly limited
  • Authentication is required for all system access

Monitoring and Incident Response

System Monitoring

  • Automated monitoring systems track service health
  • Performance metrics are continuously collected
  • System alerts are configured for anomaly detection
  • Service status is publicly available at status.iaptic.com

Incident Response

  • Security incidents are investigated promptly
  • Customers are notified of personal data breaches as set out in our DPA §8
  • Post-incident reviews are conducted to prevent recurrence

Infrastructure Management

Deployment Security

  • Infrastructure is managed as code
  • Changes go through review before deployment
  • Separate staging and production environments
  • Regular security updates are applied

Backup and Recovery

  • Data is duplicated across multiple data centers
  • Account and configuration data are also backed up weekly to separate backup storage, with backup history retained for two weeks
  • Infrastructure can be rapidly redeployed if needed

Compliance and Privacy

Data Processing

  • Data is stored and processed in Germany; some of our sub-processors access or process personal data outside the EU – see the DPA §4 for the transfer mechanisms
  • We follow GDPR requirements for data handling
  • Data retention policies are clearly defined
  • Data export and deletion requests are honored

Privacy Practices

  • We collect only necessary data
  • Data usage is outlined in our Privacy Policy
  • We do not sell customer data, and we do not share it with third parties for their own purposes

Security Certifications and Compliance

While we're continuously improving our security posture, we currently:

  • ✅ Maintain GDPR compliance
  • ✅ Follow industry security best practices
  • ✅ Review the security of our code and infrastructure
  • ✅ Provide transparent incident reporting

Our Security Roadmap

We're committed to continuously enhancing our security measures. Current initiatives include:

  • Advanced monitoring capabilities
  • Expanded compliance certifications (SOC 2, ISO 27001)
  • Additional security automation
