Secure Development Lifecycle (SDLC)
Threat Modeling
& Risk Assessment
We identify potential threats early in the development cycle using industry-standard methodologies like STRIDE and DREAD.
Secure Coding Practices
Our developers adhere to OWASP and NIST guidelines to mitigate risks such as cross-
site scripting (XSS), SQL injection, and buffer overflows.
Automated & Manual
Security Testing
Static & Dynamic Application Security Testing (SAST/DAST)
We perform automated and manual security
tests to detect vulnerabilities in source code and runtime environments.
Penetration Testing
Conducted regularly by internal and third- party experts to identify and mitigate security flaws.
Continuous Integration
& Deployment (CI/CD)
Security
Our DevSecOps approach integrates
security controls into CI/CD pipelines to
prevent misconfigurations and
vulnerabilities.
Data Encryption
All sensitive data is encrypted at rest and in transit using AES-256 and TLS 1.2 (and above)
Third-Party Security
Assessments
We perform rigorous evaluations of third-
party libraries and dependencies to mitigate supply chain risks.
Security Awareness Training
We conduct regular security awareness
training for customers and third-party
vendors to educate them on emerging security threats.
Security Governance Structure
To ensure the effectiveness of our security program,
we have a well-defined governance structure
Chief
Technology Officer
Responsible for ensuring that technology and product development align with security, performance, and compliance requirements
Principal Cybersecurity Officer
Responsible for defining security policies, frameworks and conducts ethical hacking exercises to find vulnerabilities
DevSecOps
Team
Responsible for automating security in CI/CD pipelines and monitors security misconfigurations and software dependencies
Change
Advisory Board
Ensures that changes to production systems are vetted for security and quality risks before deployment
Quality Assurance Team
Responsible for ensuring that software products meet functional, performance, and reliability standards
Security Champions
Manages security incidents, conducts root cause analysis, and implements remediation measures
Incident Response Team (IRT)
Manages security incidents, conducts root cause analysis, and implements remediation measures
Compliance
& Risk Management Team
Ensures regulatory compliance, manages risk assessments, and enforces security policies
Data Privacy & Protection
We are committed to data privacy, transparency, and user control, ensuring compliance with global regulations, including NDPA, GDPR, and other regional data protection laws. Our comprehensive Data Privacy Policy includes:
Security and privacy controls
are embedded in our products and
services from the onset.
We enforce strict role-based access controls (RBAC) and least privilege principles.
Assessments (PIA) &
Data Protection Impact
Assessments (DPIA)
We proactively assess and
mitigate risks associated with
personal data processing.
Access & Control
Customers have the right to access,
correct, delete, or restrict processing
of their data.
Secure Disposal
Our data retention policies are designed
to ensure that information is stored only
for as long as necessary and is securely
deleted once it is no longer required. The Platform Portrait Service operates in real-
time, processing images without retaining
any customer data. No personally
identifiable information is ever stored, reinforcing our commitment to privacy
and security.
Data
We employ cutting-edge cryptographic techniques to secure data both at rest
and in transit. When images are
transmitted to our Platform Portrait
Service, they are anonymized, ensuring no personally identifiable information (PII) is attached or processed. This guarantees
user privacy while maintaining the
integrity of our service.
Compliance
We require vendors and partners to meet
strict data protection and security
standards.
Cloud Security
& Infrastructure
Protection
At Seamfix, protecting our systems and data is a
top priority for us. We implement robust security
measures and enforce strict access controls to
continually enhance our security posture.
Our suite of biometric services and cloud solutions are hosted on Amazon Web Services (AWS) under a comprehensive Data Processing Agreement (DPA) that aligns with international best practices in data privacy and cross-border data protection. The data residence is also covered by an adequacy decision from a recognized supervisory authority NDPC (Nigeria Data Protection Commission).
AWS undergoes rigorous security audits and certifications to ensure ongoing compliance
with global data protection regulations and maintains compliance with ISO 27001, ISO
27701, SOC 2, and GDPR standards.
Network and
Application
Security
We deploy firewalls, Intrusion
Detection Systems (IDS),
endpoint protection, and Web
Application Firewalls (WAF) to prevent unauthorized access and safeguard our infrastructure.
Least Privilege
Access
Access to systems is strictly controlled using role-based access control (RBAC), ensuring users only have the permissions
necessary for their roles.
Multi-Factor Authentication
(MFA)
Additional authentication layers are required for critical systems and infrastructure, enhancing security by preventing unauthorized access.
Continuous Monitoring & Threat Intelligence
Our AI-powered monitoring system provides real-time anomaly detection and supports automated incident response to mitigate potential threats promptly.
Incident Response
& Breach
Notification
Our robust Incident Response Plan (IRP) ensures timely detection, response, and communication in case of security incidents.
Backup & Disaster Recovery
We ensure business continuity through redundant data centers, automated backups, and comprehensive disaster recovery plans.
Information Security Policies
To guide our operations, we have established a robust set of
information security policies, including, but not limited to:
Access
Control Policy
Defines user access levels based on the principle of least privilege and enforces role-based access control (RBAC).
