Data Security in Financial Automation

Data Security in Financial Automation

When automating financial processes, security isn't optional—it's fundamental. Organizations entrust automation platforms with their most sensitive financial data, making robust security measures essential. Here's how MatchRecon protects your data.

Encryption at Every Layer

MatchRecon implements encryption at rest and in transit. All data is encrypted using AES-256 encryption before being written to disk, and all data transmissions use TLS 1.3 with perfect forward secrecy.

Encryption keys are managed using industry-standard key management services with automatic rotation and are never stored alongside encrypted data. This multi-layered approach ensures your data remains secure even in the unlikely event of a infrastructure breach.

Access Controls and Authentication

MatchRecon implements role-based access control (RBAC), ensuring users can only access data and functions appropriate to their role. Multi-factor authentication (MFA) is required for all user accounts, with support for hardware security keys for high-privilege accounts.

All access is logged and monitored, with automated alerts for suspicious activities like unusual login patterns, bulk data exports, or privilege escalation attempts.

Infrastructure Security

Our infrastructure is built on enterprise-grade cloud platforms with SOC 2 Type II compliance. All systems run in isolated virtual networks with strict firewall rules, and database access is restricted to specific application servers.

Regular security audits and penetration testing are conducted by independent third-party security firms, with findings addressed through our security remediation process.

Compliance and Certifications

MatchRecon maintains compliance with major regulatory frameworks including SOC 2 Type II, GDPR for European customers, and CCPA for California residents. We're actively pursuing ISO 27001 certification and working toward FedRAMP authorization for government customers.

Our compliance program includes regular audits, security awareness training for all staff, and documented policies and procedures covering all aspects of data security and privacy.

Data Privacy and Retention

We follow data minimization principles, collecting only the data necessary to provide our service. Customer data is logically isolated and encrypted with customer-specific keys. Customers maintain full control over their data with the ability to export or delete it at any time.

Data retention periods are configurable based on customer requirements and regulatory obligations. Deleted data is securely overwritten according to NIST standards and is never retained beyond the specified retention period.

Incident Response

Despite all preventive measures, we maintain a comprehensive incident response plan. Our security team monitors for potential incidents 24/7 using automated threat detection and security information and event management (SIEM) systems.

In the event of a security incident, our response plan ensures rapid containment, investigation, and notification of affected customers as required by law and our contractual obligations.

Vendor Security

MatchRecon carefully evaluates all third-party services and vendors for security. We maintain an approved vendor list and require all vendors handling customer data to demonstrate appropriate security controls through SOC 2 reports or similar documentation.

Regular vendor assessments ensure ongoing compliance with our security requirements.
