Security Practices
Development Security
Development Security
- Code review: All code changes require review before merging
- Dependency management: Dependencies are regularly updated and monitored for vulnerabilities
- Static analysis: Automated security scanning is part of the CI/CD pipeline
- Vulnerability scanning: Automated dependency and vulnerability scanning runs continuously on the codebase
- Penetration testing: External third-party penetration testing is planned as part of the ongoing security roadmap (not yet completed)
Access Controls
Access Controls
- Role-based access: Teams support member, manager, and admin roles with distinct permissions
- API token scoping: API tokens can be scoped to specific teams and set with expiration dates
- Session management: Users can view and revoke active sessions
- Audit logging: Document actions are logged with timestamps and IP addresses
Infrastructure Security
The Qwoty cloud service uses the following security measures:Data Encryption
Encryption in Transit
Encryption in Transit
All data transmitted to and from Qwoty is encrypted using TLS 1.2 or higher. This includes:
- Web application traffic
- API requests
- Email delivery (when supported by the receiving server)
- Webhook payloads
Encryption at Rest
Encryption at Rest
For Qwoty Cloud:
- Database contents are encrypted at rest using AES-256
- Document storage uses encrypted object storage
- Backups are encrypted with geographic redundancy
- Encryption keys are managed with regular key rotation
Authentication Security
Supported Authentication Methods
Password Requirements
- Minimum length enforced
- Passwords are hashed using bcrypt before storage
- Password reset tokens are time-limited and single-use
Session Security
- Sessions can be viewed and revoked from account settings
- Session tokens are rotated on authentication events
- Idle sessions expire after a configurable period
Vulnerability Disclosure
Qwoty operates a responsible disclosure process for security vulnerabilities.Reporting a Vulnerability
