Security Overview

Conducky is designed with security as a foundational principle. This section provides comprehensive information about how Conducky protects your data, manages access, and ensures the confidentiality of sensitive incident reports.

🔒 Security Principles​

Data Protection First​

  • Event isolation: All incident data is strictly scoped to individual events
  • Role-based access: Users only see information they're authorized to view
  • Encryption at rest: Sensitive data is encrypted in the database
  • Secure authentication: Multiple authentication methods with proper session management

Privacy by Design​

  • Internal/external comments: Sensitive discussions can be kept private to response teams
  • Anonymous reporting: Option for completely anonymous incident submission
  • Data minimization: Only necessary information is collected and stored
  • Related file protection: Uploaded files are access-controlled and securely stored

Audit and Accountability​

  • Comprehensive logging: All significant actions are logged for audit purposes
  • Role tracking: Changes to user permissions are recorded
  • Activity monitoring: System-wide activity tracking for security analysis
  • Data integrity: Database-level constraints ensure data consistency

🏗️ Security Architecture​

Multi-Tenant Security Model​

Access Control Layers​

  1. Authentication Layer: Verify user identity
  2. Authorization Layer: Check user permissions
  3. Data Scope Layer: Ensure event-specific data access
  4. Audit Layer: Log all access attempts and actions

🔐 Key Security Features​

Authentication & Authorization​

Data Protection​

  • Database encryption for sensitive fields
  • File upload security with type validation and virus scanning
  • Input validation and sanitization
  • SQL injection protection through parameterized queries

Incident Security​

  • Report confidentiality controls
  • Related file protection with access controls
  • Comment visibility management (public vs internal)
  • Authenticated reporting with data encryption

System Security​

  • Audit logging of all significant actions
  • Rate limiting to prevent abuse
  • Security headers (CSP, HSTS, etc.)
  • Deployment security best practices

🚨 Quick Security Reference​

For Users​

  • Incident privacy: Your reports are only visible to authorized response team members
  • Data retention: Understand how long your data is kept and your right to deletion
  • Account security: Use strong passwords and enable two-factor authentication when available

For Event Administrators​

  • Team access: Carefully manage who has access to incident reports
  • Role assignments: Follow principle of least privilege when assigning roles
  • Data handling: Ensure compliance with your organization's data protection policies

For System Administrators​

  • Security monitoring: Regular review of audit logs and security events
  • Access management: Implement proper controls for system-level access
  • Incident response: Have procedures in place for security incidents

📊 Security Standards​
