Enterprise-Grade Security & Compliance Framework
Security Foundations
SDH integrates security at the architectural level — not as an afterthought, but as a design principle. Our foundation relies on strict access control, isolation, and secure-by-default configurations that ensure every project starts and stays protected from day one.
Least Privilege Access
Every identity, human or machine, operates with only the permissions required to perform its function. This reduces exposure and enforces a zero-trust access model across all SDH environments.
Role-Based Governance
Our RBAC model ensures every role is scoped precisely to business needs, limiting lateral movement and enforcing accountability in complex multi-team environments.
Contextual Isolation
Each project, environment, and tenant operates within strict isolation boundaries. SDH maintains separate networks, sessions, and data scopes to prevent cross-environment access.
Secrets Hygiene
Sensitive data such as credentials, tokens, and API keys are managed securely through vault-based solutions with rotation and access logging — never stored in plain text.
Secure Defaults
SDH platforms ship with hardened configurations, minimized permissions, and predefined security baselines — reducing the attack surface from the start.
Environment Separation
Development, staging, and production environments are strictly separated with controlled data replication and isolated access pipelines to eliminate interference.
Identity & Data Protection
SDH enforces strong identity verification and encryption standards across all systems. From authentication to key lifecycle management, our controls ensure confidentiality, integrity, and trust at every stage of data flow.
OAuth 2.0 Authentication
We implement OAuth 2.0 for secure authorization, allowing users and applications to interact safely without exposing sensitive credentials.
OpenID Connect
Identity federation and single sign-on via OpenID Connect (OIDC) provide unified and verifiable user identity across systems and platforms.
Mutual TLS (mTLS)
Service-to-service communication is authenticated through mutual TLS, establishing cryptographic trust between internal and external endpoints.
TLS 1.3 in Transit
All data in transit is protected with TLS 1.3, HSTS, and forward secrecy, ensuring secure transmission across all public and private networks.
AES-256 at Rest
All stored data is encrypted using AES-256, with separate encryption domains and key rotation policies to guarantee long-term data confidentiality.
Centralized Key Management
Cryptographic keys are generated, rotated, and destroyed through enterprise-grade systems like AWS KMS, Azure Key Vault, and HashiCorp Vault for complete lifecycle control.
Monitoring & Business Continuity
SDH maintains full visibility and resilience across every environment. Through real-time monitoring, anomaly detection, and structured response plans, we ensure rapid incident handling and uninterrupted operations.
Immutable Audit Logs
All system and user actions are logged in tamper-evident, append-only storage. These records provide transparency, accountability, and audit-ready compliance.
SIEM Integration
SDH integrates with leading SIEM platforms such as Splunk and Elastic, aggregating and analyzing security events in real time for proactive threat detection.
Anomaly Detection
Machine learning and behavioral analytics identify unusual activity patterns, enabling rapid mitigation before anomalies escalate into incidents.
Incident Response
A documented Incident Response Plan (IRP) ensures fast, coordinated actions. Our SOC team operates 24/7 to contain, analyze, and resolve verified events.
Root Cause Analysis
Each incident undergoes root cause analysis (RCA) to uncover underlying factors. Insights are used to strengthen architecture and prevent recurrence.
Disaster Recovery & Uptime
Geo-redundant data centers, failover automation, and regular DR tests guarantee system availability and data integrity even in critical scenarios.
Compliance & Trust
SDH operates under globally recognized security and compliance frameworks. Our adherence to industry standards, independent audits, and open communication demonstrates our unwavering commitment to transparency and regulatory excellence.
GDPR Compliance
SDH designs systems that align with the EU General Data Protection Regulation. Our approach includes data minimization, access control, and right-to-erasure enforcement.
ISO/IEC 27001
Our Information Security Management System (ISMS) is structured around ISO/IEC 27001 principles — ensuring consistent security governance and control.
HIPAA & PHI Protection
SDH supports HIPAA-compliant workflows with strict PHI handling procedures, access journaling, and Business Associate Agreements (BAA) for healthcare partners.
SOC 2 Assurance
Our architecture aligns with SOC 2 Type II requirements, covering Security, Availability, Processing Integrity, Confidentiality, and Privacy.
Data Agreements
We maintain Data Processing Agreements (DPA) and Business Associate Agreements (BAA) to provide contractual and operational guarantees for regulated data processing.
Transparency & Verification
SDH provides auditable documentation of its controls, policies, and test results. Transparency builds trust — and we ensure every client can verify it firsthand.
Secure Development Lifecycle (SDLC)
Security at SDH is engineered into every phase of product creation — from planning to release. Our Secure Development Lifecycle (SDLC) embeds controls, testing, and validation into each step, ensuring that every deliverable meets enterprise-grade protection standards.
Threat Modeling
Each project begins with structured threat modeling to identify potential risks early. We analyze architecture, data flow, and user interactions to eliminate vulnerabilities by design.
Secure Coding Practices
SDH follows OWASP, CERT, and CIS guidelines to ensure all source code meets secure development standards and resists exploitation.
SAST & DAST Testing
Static and dynamic analysis tools are integrated into CI/CD pipelines to detect flaws in code and runtime environments before deployment.
Dependency Scanning
Automated scanning identifies vulnerabilities in third-party libraries and containers. SDH maintains a verified software bill of materials (SBOM) for every project.
CI/CD Security Gates
Security gates and pre-deployment validations are mandatory within CI/CD pipelines, preventing vulnerable builds from reaching production.
Continuous Improvement
Lessons from audits, penetration tests, and incident reviews feed directly into process refinement. Security maturity at SDH evolves with every project and release.
Work Securely with SDH
Partner with a development team that treats security as an integral part of innovation. Every SDH project adheres to global standards, from GDPR to ISO 27001, and is built with long-term data protection in mind.
