Security

Enterprise fintech infrastructure requires enterprise-grade security. Every layer of the Scofit platform is designed with protection as a core principle.

Security Is Part of the Infrastructure

Financial data demands the highest standard of protection. Scofit is built for businesses that handle sensitive customer information at scale. Our security posture covers encryption, access control, monitoring, compliance, and responsible data stewardship across every product and API.

Designed for Regulated Industries

Banks, lenders, NBFCs, and fintechs operate under strict regulatory frameworks. Scofit security practices are aligned with RBI guidelines, DPDP Act requirements, ISO 27001 principles, and industry best practices for handling financial and identity data in India.

Security Pillars

How We Protect Your Data

Six foundational pillars define Scofit's security architecture.

Encryption All data is encrypted at rest and in transit. TLS 1.2+ for API communication. AES-256 for stored data. No plaintext data at any layer of the stack.
Authentication API key authentication with scoped access control. Keys are environment-specific, rotatable, and can be revoked instantly from the dashboard.
Access Controls Role-based access control at the organisation and team level. Granular permissions ensure team members only access what they need.
Monitoring Continuous monitoring of API traffic, authentication patterns, and system health. Anomaly detection triggers alerts and automatic throttling for suspicious activity.
Responsible Data Use Data minimisation by design. We only process what is necessary for the requested verification or analysis. No data resale. No data retention beyond operational necessity.
Compliance Aligned with RBI data localisation requirements, DPDP Act obligations, and ISO 27001 information security management principles.
Architecture

Our Approach to Security

Security is not a feature. It is a design constraint applied at every layer of the platform architecture.

Architecture-Level Protection

Scofit runs on isolated cloud infrastructure with network segmentation between services. API gateways enforce rate limiting, request validation, and threat detection before traffic reaches application logic. Database access is restricted to application-layer services only. No direct database connections are permitted from external networks.

Infrastructure is provisioned through automated pipelines. No manual server configuration. No human access to production data stores. Every infrastructure change is logged, reviewed, and auditable.

Data Minimisation

Scofit processes data only for the duration required to complete the requested operation. Verification results are returned to the caller and not retained beyond the defined retention window. Sensitive fields are masked in logs. PII is never exposed in error messages or API responses beyond what the endpoint is designed to return.

Clients control their own data. You decide what to store, how long to keep it, and when to delete it. Scofit provides the infrastructure. You own the data lifecycle.

Practices

Security Practices

Concrete measures applied across development, deployment, and operations.

✓

Static Code Analysis — All code changes pass automated security scanning before merge. Vulnerability patterns are flagged and blocked at the CI/CD stage.

✓

Dependency Auditing — Third-party libraries are continuously monitored for known vulnerabilities. Updates are applied automatically where backward-compatible.

✓

Penetration Testing — Regular third-party penetration testing of API endpoints, authentication flows, and infrastructure components.

✓

Secret Management — API keys, database credentials, and encryption keys are stored in dedicated secret management systems. No secrets in code, config files, or environment variables.

✓

Incident Response — Documented incident response procedures. Security events are triaged within defined SLAs. Affected clients are notified promptly.

✓

Audit Logging — Every API call is logged with request ID, timestamp, endpoint, and status. Logs are immutable and available for client audit through the dashboard.
