Security Overview
SnapConsent employs industry-leading security practices and technologies to ensure the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of your data. We maintain a comprehensive security program that includes technical, administrative, and physical safeguards.
Our security measures are designed to meet and exceed compliance requirements for GDPR, CCPA, and other global privacy regulations.
Data Encryption
Encryption in Transit
All data transmitted between your browser and our servers is encrypted using TLS 1.3 with strong cipher suites. We enforce HTTPS across all endpoints and utilize HSTS (HTTP Strict Transport Security).
Encryption at Rest
All stored data is encrypted using AES-256 encryption. Database backups and archives are also encrypted with separate encryption keys.
Key Management
Encryption keys are managed using industry-standard key management systems with regular key rotation and secure key storage in hardware security modules (HSMs).
Infrastructure Security
Cloud Infrastructure
Hosted on AWS with enterprise-grade security, utilizing VPCs, security groups, and network ACLs for defense in depth.
DDoS Protection
AWS Shield and CloudFlare provide automatic DDoS mitigation and protection against volumetric attacks.
