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.

Zero Trust RBAC IAM Access Control

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.

RBAC Least Privilege Access Policy Governance

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.

Segmentation Context Isolation Session Security Multi-Tenant

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.

Vault Secret Rotation Encryption Access Logs

Secure Defaults

SDH platforms ship with hardened configurations, minimized permissions, and predefined security baselines — reducing the attack surface from the start.

Hardening Default Security Baseline Policy Configuration

Environment Separation

Development, staging, and production environments are strictly separated with controlled data replication and isolated access pipelines to eliminate interference.

Dev/Staging/Prod Isolation Access Control Data Segregation

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.

OAuth 2.0 Token-Based Access Control Authorization

OpenID Connect

Identity federation and single sign-on via OpenID Connect (OIDC) provide unified and verifiable user identity across systems and platforms.

OIDC SSO Identity Federation User Auth

Mutual TLS (mTLS)

Service-to-service communication is authenticated through mutual TLS, establishing cryptographic trust between internal and external endpoints.

mTLS Certificates Service Auth Network Security

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.

TLS 1.3 HSTS Encryption Transport Layer

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.

AES-256 Encryption Key Rotation Data Storage

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.

KMS Azure Vault HashiCorp Vault Key Governance

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.

Audit Trail Immutable Logs Compliance Visibility

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.

SIEM Splunk Elastic Threat Detection

Anomaly Detection

Machine learning and behavioral analytics identify unusual activity patterns, enabling rapid mitigation before anomalies escalate into incidents.

Anomaly Detection Behavior Analytics Alerting Monitoring

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.

IRP SOC 24/7 Incident Handling Response

Root Cause Analysis

Each incident undergoes root cause analysis (RCA) to uncover underlying factors. Insights are used to strengthen architecture and prevent recurrence.

RCA Post-Incident Continuous Improvement Governance

Disaster Recovery & Uptime

Geo-redundant data centers, failover automation, and regular DR tests guarantee system availability and data integrity even in critical scenarios.

DR Failover Redundancy Continuity

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.

GDPR Data Privacy DPA EU Region

ISO/IEC 27001

Our Information Security Management System (ISMS) is structured around ISO/IEC 27001 principles — ensuring consistent security governance and control.

ISO 27001 ISMS Risk Management Governance

HIPAA & PHI Protection

SDH supports HIPAA-compliant workflows with strict PHI handling procedures, access journaling, and Business Associate Agreements (BAA) for healthcare partners.

HIPAA BAA PHI Healthcare

SOC 2 Assurance

Our architecture aligns with SOC 2 Type II requirements, covering Security, Availability, Processing Integrity, Confidentiality, and Privacy.

SOC 2 Audit Controls Assurance

Data Agreements

We maintain Data Processing Agreements (DPA) and Business Associate Agreements (BAA) to provide contractual and operational guarantees for regulated data processing.

DPA BAA Legal 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.

Transparency Reporting Audit Logs Verification

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.

Threat Modeling Design Review Architecture Security Risk Prevention

Secure Coding Practices

SDH follows OWASP, CERT, and CIS guidelines to ensure all source code meets secure development standards and resists exploitation.

OWASP Secure Coding CIS Benchmarks Code Quality

SAST & DAST Testing

Static and dynamic analysis tools are integrated into CI/CD pipelines to detect flaws in code and runtime environments before deployment.

SAST DAST Security Testing Automation

Dependency Scanning

Automated scanning identifies vulnerabilities in third-party libraries and containers. SDH maintains a verified software bill of materials (SBOM) for every project.

SCA SBOM Container Security Dependencies

CI/CD Security Gates

Security gates and pre-deployment validations are mandatory within CI/CD pipelines, preventing vulnerable builds from reaching production.

CI/CD Pipeline Security Gate Automation

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.
