Data Exchange technology security

Corporate security

Dawex has a strong focus on security which drives constant attention from the teams. Security and confidentiality are constantly at the forefront of internal discussions, with regular updates being made, where:

Access to various levels of information within the organization is strictly controlled
Data and systems access authorizations are clearly defined and have limited timeframes
Sensitive emails and other forms of communication are always encrypted for maximum security
All Dawex employees are bound by a confidentiality clause in their employment contract, ensuring that sensitive information is kept private
Subcontractors who work with Dawex are also bound by Non Disclosure Agreements, providing an additional layer of protection for confidential information

Security audits

Dawex maintains active System and Organization Control (SOC) 2 Type II and SOC 3 compliance, which ensures the implementation of internal controls for security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality and privacy. These audits also assess and certify the design of security processes and controls conducted by Dawex, including criteria and controls for ensuring the security and privacy of data.

Additionally, Dawex Data Exchange technology undergoes rigorous annual external audits performed by security experts, which include comprehensive penetration tests. These audits are conducted to assess the security of the Dawex solution Data Exchange Platform and its underlying code, as well as to identify any vulnerabilities or weaknesses that may exist. By regularly conducting external audits, Dawex demonstrates its commitment to maintaining a secure platform for the users and to continuously improving security measures to stay ahead of emerging threats.

Data distribution security

Dawex has taken significant steps to establish robust mechanisms ensuring the security of data exchanged through its technology. These measures enable Data Exchange Platform orchestrators to create and manage a secure and trustworthy data exchange ecosystem.

The mechanisms include:

Identification, authentication, and authorization protocols, which include the use of two-factor authentication for console access to enhance security and accountability
Full infrastructure monitoring to detect and address potential issues before they can cause harm to the system or compromise data security
Implementation of ModSecurity WAF mechanisms based on OWASP Rulesets to enhance the system's security by detecting and blocking common web application attacks

Encryption and privacy

Dawex builds security leveraging privacy-by-design, and has implemented state-of-the-art measures to ensure the protection of personal and activity-related data.

These measures include:

Use of asymmetric encryption protocols to store and transmit data, ensuring that all data is kept secure and private
Encryption of all personal and activity-related data to provide an additional layer of security and privacy, with end-to-end encryption of all transmissions to prevent unauthorized access or interception
Strict authentication and logging of all network flows to monitor for potential security breaches or unauthorized access
Application and API accessibility through asymmetric encrypted protocols, ensuring that all data transmission is secure and private
Use of reverse proxies to filter streams and network Access Control List (ACL) to isolate streams, further enhancing the security of the system
Implementation of encrypted and hardened systems that follow a minimal installation policy, reducing the risk of system vulnerabilities and attacks

Key management

Dawex recognizes the critical importance of key management to ensure the confidentiality, integrity and authenticity of data at rest and in transit.

The system includes:

Implementation of key management protocols to meet the following security objectives: confidentiality of data at rest and in transit, integrity of data at rest and in transit, authenticity of data origin, authenticity of end device, and digital signature
Use of secure key management algorithms and protocols to ensure that all keys are kept secure and private
Robust procedures for key creation, storage, and destruction, to prevent unauthorized access or compromise of keys
Regular monitoring and updating of key management protocols to ensure that they remain effective and up-to-date with the latest security standards and requirements
Implementation of digital signature mechanisms to ensure the authenticity and integrity of data transmission and reception
The key management system is designed to work seamlessly with the rest of the security architecture, providing an additional layer of protection to ensure the confidentiality, integrity, and authenticity of all data

Responsible Disclosure

Dawex security team recognizes that no technology is entirely immune to bugs and vulnerabilities. As such, the team is committed to verifying and resolving any potential security vulnerabilities that may be discovered.

Dawex has implemented a responsible disclosure policy that encourages anyone who discovers a security issue to report it in a responsible manner. This policy ensures that the security team can promptly and effectively address any vulnerabilities, while also maintaining the confidentiality and privacy of the reporter.

Dawex believes that responsible disclosure is critical for maintaining a secure and trustworthy technology, and is committed to working collaboratively with the security community to ensure the highest levels of security for all users.
