Security & Encryption

PrecogX implements enterprise-grade security measures to protect your sensitive AI agent data and telemetry information. This document outlines our comprehensive security architecture and encryption practices.

🛡️ Security Architecture​

Data Encryption​

Encryption at Rest​

  • AES-256 encryption for all sensitive data stored in the database
  • Field-level encryption for personally identifiable information (PII)
  • Encrypted API keys with secure key management
  • Encrypted user data (names, contact information)

Encryption in Transit​

  • TLS 1.3 for all API communications
  • HTTPS enforcement for all endpoints
  • Certificate pinning for enhanced security
  • Perfect Forward Secrecy (PFS) support

Database Security​

PostgreSQL Security​

  • SSL/TLS connections required for all database access
  • Row-level security (RLS) for multi-tenant data isolation
  • Encrypted connections with certificate validation
  • Secure connection strings with environment-based secrets

Data Isolation​

  • Tenant-based isolation ensures complete data separation
  • Encrypted tenant boundaries prevent cross-tenant access
  • Audit logging for all data access patterns

🔑 Key Management​

Encryption Keys​

Key Generation​

  • Cryptographically secure random key generation
  • 256-bit encryption keys for maximum security
  • Key rotation support for enhanced security
  • Environment-based key storage (never hardcoded)

Key Storage​

  • Environment variables for production key storage
  • Secure key derivation using PBKDF2 with 100,000 iterations
  • Salt-based hashing for additional security
  • No key storage in application code or logs

API Key Security​

API Key Protection​

  • Encrypted storage in database
  • Hash-based searching without decryption
  • Secure key generation using cryptographically secure random
  • Automatic key rotation support

🔒 Compliance & Standards​

Security Standards​

Encryption Standards​

  • AES-256-GCM for symmetric encryption
  • RSA-4096 for key exchange (where applicable)
  • SHA-256 for hashing operations
  • PBKDF2 for key derivation

Transport Security​

  • TLS 1.3 minimum version
  • Perfect Forward Secrecy (PFS)
  • Certificate validation with proper CA chains
  • HSTS headers for browser security

Compliance Readiness​

SOC 2 Type II​

  • Access controls and authentication
  • Data encryption at rest and in transit
  • Audit logging and monitoring
  • Incident response procedures

GDPR Compliance​

  • Data minimization principles
  • Right to erasure support
  • Data portability features
  • Consent management capabilities

HIPAA Readiness​

  • PHI protection measures
  • Access controls and audit trails
  • Data encryption requirements
  • Business Associate agreement support

🛠️ Implementation Details​

Encryption Service​

# Example: Encrypting sensitive data
from app.core.encryption import encryption_service

# Encrypt user data
encrypted_name = encryption_service.encrypt("John Doe")

# Decrypt user data
decrypted_name = encryption_service.decrypt(encrypted_name)

Database Schema​

Encrypted Fields​

  • users._first_name_encrypted - Encrypted first name
  • users._last_name_encrypted - Encrypted last name
  • api_keys._api_key_encrypted - Encrypted API key
  • api_keys._api_key_hash - Hash for searching

Search Capabilities​

  • Hash-based searching for encrypted data
  • Indexed lookups without decryption
  • Secure query patterns for performance

🔍 Security Monitoring​

Audit Logging​

Comprehensive Logging​

  • All data access events logged
  • Authentication attempts tracked
  • API key usage monitored
  • Encryption/decryption operations logged

Security Events​

  • Failed authentication attempts
  • Suspicious access patterns
  • Data modification events
  • Key rotation activities

Threat Detection​

Real-time Monitoring​

  • Anomaly detection for access patterns
  • Brute force attack prevention
  • Suspicious activity alerts
  • Automated response to threats

🚀 Deployment Security​

Environment Configuration​

Required Environment Variables​

# Encryption
