Security Architecture & Data Protection

How Axisforge safeguards your event streams, API endpoints, and cloud infrastructure through defense-in-depth principles.

Security Philosophy

As an engineering firm founded by senior systems and platform architects, we treat security as a structural design constraint rather than a retrospective checklist. Our platform architecture isolates client tenants, enforces strict cryptographic guarantees across transit paths, and centralizes data processing within secure facilities in Frankfurt, Germany.

Encryption in Transit

All network communication across Axisforge Events—including event batch ingestion (POST) and live stream subscription (GET)—is enforced over HTTPS using TLS 1.3 and TLS 1.2 with perfect forward secrecy. Unencrypted HTTP requests are systematically rejected at edge entry points.

Data Storage in Frankfurt

All persistent event buffering, indexing, retention rotation, and cold storage happen in Frankfurt, Germany. Storage volumes are encrypted at rest using industry-standard AES-256 encryption. Retention schedules automatically purge event records once plan limits expire.

API Key Authentication

API access is governed by high-entropy opaque query tokens (?t=YOUR_API_KEY). Tokens are validated in memory and stored using salted cryptographic hashes. Requests lacking authentication tokens are immediately rejected with status code 401.

Regional Delivery Edge

Regional delivery partners relay HTTPS traffic; processing and storage happen in Frankfurt. For CIS clients connecting through cis.axisforge.tech, edge endpoints accelerate transport connectivity while data remains secured at our German origin.

Operational Controls & Audit Logging

We maintain strict access boundaries and operational practices across all platform layers:

  • Principle of Least Privilege: Production infrastructure access is restricted to senior engineering personnel using multi-factor authentication, ephemeral credentials, and audited bastion access.
  • Zero Payload Logging: Edge web servers and gateway reverse relays record request metadata (timestamp, HTTP status, payload size, origin IP) for operational diagnostics, but never log event payload contents or sensitive telemetry bodies.
  • Continuous Rate Limiting: Intelligent edge ingress guards protect endpoints against volumetric abuse, burst floods, and brute-force token enumeration.
  • Automated Backups: System configuration state and database metadata are backed up on automated schedules with encrypted multi-zone replication in the Frankfurt region.

Responsible Disclosure

If you identify a suspected vulnerability or security concern affecting Axisforge infrastructure, please contact our engineering team directly at hello@axisforge.tech. We acknowledge reports within 24 hours and prioritize rapid remediation.
