TechSpecs API prioritizes the security and privacy of your data. We understand the level of trust that you place in us when you disclose your data and we take serious steps to protect it. Our robust security measures are integrated throughout our platform and processes to safeguard your information.
Security Compliance
TechSpecs API abides by stringent industry regulations and is continuously audited by third-party entities to cement our commitment to data security.
Data Encryption
The data on TechSpecs API, whether at rest or in transit, is always encrypted using state-of-the-art cryptographic techniques to ensure access by authorized users only. From our API endpoints to the user interface and back-end data storage, SSL or TLS is implemented for secure data transfer.
API Security
TechSpecs API employs robust security measures for API keys. We utilize a secure UUID algorithm to generate API keys that are unique and cannot be easily guessed or brute-forced. These keys are securely stored and protected with cryptographic hashing techniques, preventing unauthorized access. Each key is assigned specific permissions, controlling the resources and operations accessible to the associated client or application. Furthermore, we implement periodic or on-demand expiration mechanisms for enhanced security, ensuring API keys have a limited lifespan.
Data Storage & Backup
TechSpecs API ensures secure storage of customer data in premier data centers located in the United States and Europe. All data at rest is encrypted and securely stored in the cloud, with every interaction with the data being logged and monitored. We strictly follow regional data protection regulations to provide additional layers of data security.
In addition to ensuring secure data storage, we prioritize effective data backup strategies. Data is backed-up multiple times a day and distributed in different geographical locations, further enhancing the reliability of our service. These backups are maintained across our various data centers, thus ensuring resiliency and minimal disruption in the event of an outage or an unforeseen event. This strategic geographical distribution also ensures smooth access and faster response times for our users spread globally.
Server Infrastructure
TechSpecs API operates on secure, managed environments with strict access controls, network isolation, role-based access control, and mandatory multi-factor authentication. We maintain a clear separation between development and production environments, effectively reducing any risks from internal data breaches.
User Authentication
In partnership with Auth0, a leading identity management provider, TechSpecs API delivers secure authentication and authorization, offering single sign-on and role-based access control. Auth0 strengthens our security by providing robust password protection and advanced account security features. All user passwords are securely hashed and salted, according to stringent security protocols.
Continuous Monitoring
Our dedicated security and DevOps teams regularly monitor the TechSpecs API infrastructure to identify and mitigate any potential threats or vulnerabilities. Regular penetration tests, vulnerability assessments, and real-time threat detection mechanisms ensure a high level of platform security.
Employee Device Policy
TechSpecs API has a comprehensive device policy. Every device with direct access to company data must implement full disk encryption and have a local firewall installed. We also employ Mobile Device Management for staff devices, adding another layer of protection to data integrity and confidentiality.
Payment Information
TechSpecs API uses Stripe, a secure and trusted payment platform, for all payment processing. Stripe is compliant with the Payment Card Industry (PCI) Data Security Standard (DSS), thereby ensuring that your payment information never resides on TechSpecs API systems and is handled securely.
TechSpecs API is committed to maintaining and enhancing the measures and practices in place as part of its ongoing commitment to your data security. Trust is a critical component of our promise to you, and we take all necessary steps to maintain and strengthen that bond at all times.
