Security at Archonova

We design to zero-trust principles: no implicit trust between networks or services, least-privilege access by default, segmentation between environments, and explicit authentication and authorisation at every boundary. Security requirements are captured at architecture stage, not retrofitted after go-live.

Workloads run on major public clouds or on Archonova-operated VPS and dedicated infrastructure across our datacenter regions. Where a client has data-residency requirements, we select the region and provider to match them and state the location in the engagement documentation.

• Named accounts for every engineer — no shared credentials.
• Multi-factor authentication on administrative and remote access.
• Access granted per engagement, reviewed periodically and revoked on exit.
• Secrets held in managed secret stores, never in source control.

Traffic to this website and to systems we operate is served over TLS. Data at rest is encrypted using the storage-level encryption offered by the underlying platform. Specific cryptographic controls for a given environment are documented for that engagement.

Managed environments are monitored for availability and anomalous activity, with patching and update cycles agreed per environment. Findings are triaged by severity, and critical issues are addressed ahead of scheduled maintenance windows.

If we identify or are notified of a security incident affecting a client environment, we contain it, investigate the cause, notify the affected client without undue delay, and follow up with remediation steps. Notification timelines and escalation contacts are agreed in the engagement contract.

Security is shared. Cloud and licensing providers secure their platforms; Archonova secures what we design, deploy and operate; clients remain responsible for their own user accounts, endpoint hygiene, internal approvals and any systems outside our scope. The boundary for each engagement is written down before work begins.

If you believe you have found a security issue in this website or in a system we operate, email info@archonovasystems.com with the subject line "Security disclosure" and enough detail to reproduce it. Please do not publicly disclose the issue until we have had a reasonable opportunity to respond, and do not access or modify data that is not yours while testing.
