Security built into the platform

Schutzsystem auf Unternehmensebene

Our security program combines layered access controls, encryption, continuous monitoring, and regular security testing to protect your account and data.

Sicherheitsverpflichtung für Nulltoleranz

We maintain a strict security program with layered controls, automated testing in our build pipeline, and continuous monitoring.

Strong security posture

OWASP Top 10 & erweiterter Bedrohungsschutz

Controls designed to defend against the most common modern web threats

Fehlerhafte Zugriffskontrolle

Role-based access control with RS256-signed JWTs, session binding, and privilege-escalation checks

Kryptografische Fehler

AES-256-GCM encryption for sensitive data, with secrets and database credentials managed in a hardened vault issuing short-lived credentials

Injection-Angriffe

Parametrisierte Abfragen, AST-basierte Injection-Erkennung und Row Level Security

Fehlkonfiguration der Sicherheit

Automated security testing in our build pipeline and hardened service configuration

Verwundbare Komponenten

Automatisierte SBOM-Erstellung, Abhängigkeits-Scans und DevSecOps-Pipeline

Serverseitige Anfragenfälschung (SSRF)

SSRF protections with network segmentation between services

Encryption

Strong, standards-based encryption in transit and at rest

Data at Rest — AES-256-GCM

AES-256-GCM encryption for sensitive personal, identity, and payment data
Column-level encryption for the most sensitive fields
Secrets and database credentials managed in a hardened vault with short-lived dynamic credentials
Row-Level-Security-Richtlinien (RLS) in PostgreSQL
Financial log encryption with a separate key hierarchy

Data in Transit — TLS 1.3

TLS 1.3 mit Perfect Forward Secrecy
RS256-signed JWTs with a publicly published JWKS endpoint, HS256 downgrade rejected at the gateway — the current signing key has not been rotated yet
Timing-sichere Passwortvergleiche
Session binding and hijacking prevention
Encrypted WebSocket connections

Security Capabilities

The systems and practices protecting the marketplace

Automated Security Testing

Static analysis, dependency and secret scanning run automatically in our build pipeline

Layered Security Controls

Access control, encryption, network segmentation, and monitoring across the platform

Incident Response

Automated alerting on security events, with session revocation and access controls applied during response

Fail-Closed Compliance Checks

Sanctions and watchlist screening blocks money movement when a check cannot be completed

Continuous Monitoring

Automated metrics, logging, and alerting across the platform

Tamper-Evident Audit Trail

Money-movement events are cryptographically signed into an append-only, tamper-evident audit trail.

Sicherheitsfragen und -antworten

Technische Details zu unserer Sicherheitsimplementierung

How do you test your own security?

Static code analysis, dependency scanning, and secret detection run automatically in our build pipeline, and we perform regular internal security reviews. Independent external penetration testing is part of our certification roadmap.

What happens when a security incident is detected?

Security events raise alerts to our monitoring stack. Depending on the event, we revoke sessions, force re-authentication, and apply access restrictions while we investigate.

How do you protect money movement?

Card payments and seller payouts run on Stripe Connect. Funds are held by Stripe, not in a PlugZ bank account; on separate-charge orders the payment settles in PlugZ's Stripe balance before it is transferred to the seller. Sanctions and watchlist screening runs fail-closed, meaning money does not move if a compliance check cannot be completed, and money-movement events are cryptographically signed into an append-only audit trail.

How are my credentials and sessions protected?

Passwords are hashed and compared in constant time, sessions are bound to their context, and access tokens are RS256-signed and published through a JWKS endpoint. The current signing key has not been rotated yet.

What encryption do you use?

TLS 1.3 in transit, and AES-256-GCM for sensitive data at rest, with secrets and database credentials issued as short-lived dynamic credentials from a hardened vault.
