Security Overview
NudgeCampaign implements enterprise-grade security measures to protect customer data, ensure platform integrity, and maintain compliance with global regulations. Our security program is built on industry best practices and continuously evolving to address emerging threats.
Security Principles
Defense in Depth
We implement multiple layers of security controls:
- Network security (firewalls, IDS/IPS)
- Application security (WAF, code scanning)
- Data security (encryption, access controls)
- Physical security (data center controls)
- Administrative security (policies, training)
Zero Trust Architecture
- Never trust, always verify
- Least privilege access
- Micro-segmentation
- Continuous verification
- Encrypted communications
Security by Design
- Security considerations in all phases
- Threat modeling for new features
- Security testing in CI/CD pipeline
- Regular security reviews
- Privacy by default
Security Governance
Threat Model
Threat Categories
External Threats
- Cyber attacks (DDoS, malware, ransomware)

Security Best Practices
Development Security
Secure Coding Standards
// Secure Coding Examples
// 1. Input Validation
function validateUserInput(input) {
// Whitelist validation
const allowedCharacters = /^[a-zA-Z0-9\s\-_.@]+$/;
if (!allowedCharacters.test(input)) {
throw new ValidationError('Invalid characters in input');
}
// Length validation
if (input.length > 255) {
throw new ValidationError('Input too long');
}
// SQL injection prevention
const sqlKeywords = ['SELECT', 'INSERT', 'UPDATE', 'DELETE', 'DROP'];
const upperInput = input.toUpperCase();
for (const keyword of sqlKeywords) {
if (upperInput.includes(keyword)) {
logSecurityEvent('Potential SQL injection', { input });
throw new SecurityError('Invalid input detected');
}
}
return input.trim();
}
// 2. Secure Password Handling
async function hashPassword(password) {
const bcrypt = require('bcrypt');
const saltRounds = 12;
// Password complexity check
if (!isPasswordComplex(password)) {
throw new Error('Password does not meet complexity requirements');
}
return await bcrypt.hash(password, saltRounds);
}
// 3. Secure Session Management
class SecureSessionManager {
createSession(userId) {
const crypto = require('crypto');
const session = {
id: crypto.randomBytes(32).toString('hex'),
userId: userId,
createdAt: Date.now(),
expiresAt: Date.now() + (30 * 60 * 1000), // 30 minutes
ipAddress: this.getClientIP(),
userAgent: this.getUserAgent()
};
// Store session securely
this.storeSession(session);
// Set secure cookie
this.setSecureCookie('session_id', session.id, {
httpOnly: true,
secure: true,
sameSite: 'strict',
maxAge: 30 * 60 * 1000
});
return session;
}
}
// 4. Secure API Calls
async function secureAPICall(endpoint, data) {
const axios = require('axios');
const crypto = require('crypto');
// Sign request
const timestamp = Date.now();
const signature = crypto
.createHmac('sha256', API_SECRET)

try {
const response = await axios({
method: 'POST',
