Security Policy

At Hashvelo, security is not a feature—it is a foundational requirement. Our "Security-First" engineering culture ensures that every line of code we write and every system we architect is built to withstand the evolving threat landscape.

1. Secure Software Development Lifecycle (S-SDLC)

We integrate security into every stage of our development process, rather than treating it as an afterthought:
Threat Modeling: During the design phase, we identify potential attack vectors for every new system architecture.
Static & Dynamic Analysis: We utilize automated tools (SAST/DAST) to scan for vulnerabilities in real-time during the coding process.
Manual Peer Reviews: Every pull request requires a security review by a senior engineer before being merged into the codebase.

2. Blockchain & Smart Contract Security

Given the immutable nature of blockchain, we apply specialized rigor to decentralized applications:
Formal Verification: Where applicable, we use mathematical proofs to verify the logic of smart contracts.
Reentrancy Protection: We implement industry-standard guards against common exploits such as reentrancy, overflow, and front-running.
Third-Party Audits: We partner with leading independent firms to perform external audits for all high-value mainnet deployments.

3. AI & Data Integrity

As we deploy AI and Machine Learning models, we prioritize the protection of model integrity and data privacy:
Model Security: Safeguarding against "Adversarial Attacks" and model inversion attempts.
Anonymized Training: Ensuring that training datasets are scrubbed of PII (Personally Identifiable Information) before model ingestion.

4. Infrastructure & Access Control

We maintain strict "Principle of Least Privilege" (PoLP) across our internal and client environments:
Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA): Mandatory MFA for all access points, including cloud consoles, code repositories, and communication tools.
Zero-Trust Architecture: We treat all network traffic as potentially hostile, requiring continuous verification for access to internal resources.
Key Management: Cryptographic keys and secrets are stored in hardware security modules (HSMs) or vault-based management systems, never in plain text.

5. Incident Response & Business Continuity

Hashvelo maintains a proactive stance on incident management:
Continuous Monitoring: 24/7 logging and alerting for suspicious infrastructure activity.
Disaster Recovery: Automated backup systems and geo-redundant architectures to ensure rapid recovery in the event of an outage.
Penetration Testing: Regular "Red Team" exercises to test the resilience of our systems against simulated attacks.

6. Vulnerability Disclosure

We value the work of the security research community. If you believe you have found a security vulnerability in a Hashvelo-managed system, we encourage you to report it to us at info@hashvelo.com. We are committed to working with researchers to validate and resolve issues transparently.
