Security

Security Practices

Citable ESG Orgs. is built with security as a priority. All data is encrypted in transit using TLS. Passwords are hashed using bcrypt. Authentication tokens are stored securely and rotated regularly. We use parameterised queries to prevent SQL injection, and all user inputs are sanitised.

Infrastructure

The platform is hosted on infrastructure with automated backups, DDoS protection, and monitoring. Database access is restricted and audited. We conduct regular dependency audits and keep all packages up to date.
