Technical Security Measures
We implement encryption of data in transit (SSL/TLS) and at rest (AES-256), secure authentication mechanisms (password hashing, two-factor authentication), regular security audits and vulnerability assessments, firewalls and intrusion detection systems, and access controls with role-based permissions.
