Security & Compliance

How Codexium protects your data, stack, and delivery.

This page documents Codexium’s security architecture, data handling practices, and operational safeguards. It is intended for engineering, security, and procurement teams evaluating Codexium as a partner.

1. Overview & shared responsibility model

Codexium operates under a shared responsibility model between the Client, Codexium, and the Cloud Provider. Each party controls different layers of the stack and contributes to the overall security posture.

Client

  • Owns data, business logic, and end-user policies.
  • Defines regulatory and contractual requirements.
  • Manages internal user access to Codexium outputs.

Codexium

  • Designs, builds, and operates secure solutions.
  • Implements encryption, IAM, SDLC and monitoring.
  • Responds to security events within our scope.

Cloud Provider

  • Secures data centers and base infrastructure.
  • Provides encryption, logging, and IAM primitives.
  • Maintains platform-level availability SLAs.

2. Data protection & encryption

Codexium protects data throughout its lifecycle with strong cryptography, careful handling, and resilient backups. We focus on confidentiality, integrity, and availability.

  • In transit: All client, Codexium, and cloud communication is protected with modern TLS configurations.
  • At rest: Databases, object storage, and volumes are encrypted using strong algorithms via cloud-native services.
  • Secrets management: Credentials, tokens, and keys are stored in dedicated secret managers, never hard-coded in source.
  • Backups: Encrypted backups with defined retention and periodic restore tests.

3. Identity & access management (IAM / RBAC)

Identity and access controls are based on the principle of least privilege. Roles, groups, and policies are defined by job function and reviewed regularly.

  • Centralized identity for Codexium engineers with mandatory MFA for privileged access.
  • Role-based access control for cloud, CI/CD, and project tooling.
  • Regular access reviews, with prompt revocation upon role change or departure.
  • Break-glass procedures for emergency access, fully logged and reviewed.

4. Secure development lifecycle (SDLC)

Security is built into Codexium’s engineering process from requirements to operations. We treat security as a product requirement, not an afterthought.

  • Security and privacy requirements captured during discovery and design.
  • Threat modeling for critical systems and data flows.
  • Peer review for all changes to protected branches.
  • Automated tests, static analysis, and dependency scanning in CI.

5. Infrastructure & network security

Codexium designs environments using segmentation, least-privilege networking, and hardened compute. We prefer managed services over self-managed components when possible.

  • Private networking and security groups between application tiers.
  • Strong perimeter controls with TLS termination and DDoS protections where available.
  • Hardened base images and regular patching of OS and runtimes.
  • Infrastructure defined as code and reviewed via pull requests.

6. Monitoring, logging & observability

Visibility is central to Codexium’s security posture. We collect logs, metrics, and traces to detect anomalies, troubleshoot, and support incident investigations.

  • Application logs with structured context, avoiding sensitive payloads where possible.
  • Infrastructure and security logs aggregated through cloud-native tooling.
  • Metrics for latency, error rates, and resource utilisation, with alerting on key SLOs.
  • On-call rotations and runbooks for high-severity alerts.

7. Privacy, data retention & residency

Codexium aligns data handling with privacy principles such as minimization, purpose limitation, and defined retention. We support clients in meeting GDPR, CCPA, and similar regimes.

  • Only data necessary to deliver services is collected and processed.
  • Retention policies for transactional data, logs, and backups are documented and configurable.
  • Where possible, clients may choose preferred hosting regions.
  • Data subject requests are supported under client direction when Codexium acts as processor.

8. Vulnerability management & penetration testing

Codexium runs continuous vulnerability management, with additional penetration testing performed for higher-risk environments and critical product surfaces.

  • Regular dependency and container image scanning.
  • Prioritized remediation with SLAs for critical and high findings.
  • Optionally, client-commissioned penetration tests coordinate with Codexium for scope and timing.
  • Root-cause analysis for recurring or systemic vulnerabilities.

9. Business continuity & disaster recovery

Codexium designs for resilience at both application and operational levels. Recovery strategies are tailored to each client’s RTO/RPO requirements.

  • Encrypted backups with defined retention and periodic restore tests.
  • Use of multi-AZ or multi-region architectures where required.
  • Documented recovery procedures for critical services and components.
  • Joint testing of DR plans for high-availability projects.

10. Incident handling & communication

Codexium operates a structured incident response process focused on rapid containment, clear communication, and long-term improvement.

  • Defined incident severity levels tied to response SLAs and escalation paths.
  • Containment actions such as credential rotation, service isolation, and configuration changes.
  • Clear client communication, including known impact, timelines, and planned remediation.
  • Post-incident reviews with follow-up actions to improve controls and monitoring.

11. Request full security documentation

For deeper evaluations (RFPs, vendor assessments, security reviews), Codexium can provide additional documentation such as detailed security overviews, architecture diagrams, and policy/process summaries under NDA.

In your request, please specify any required artifacts (e.g., security overview, data processing details, DPAs, architecture diagrams) and your review timelines so we can respond efficiently.
