Security

How we protect your data and maintain the security of Context Spine

Security-First Architecture

Context Spine is built from the ground up with security as a core principle. We understand that our customers trust us with sensitive organizational data, and we take that responsibility seriously.

Encryption

All data encrypted in transit (TLS 1.3) and at rest (AES-256). API keys and secrets are encrypted with additional key management.

Infrastructure

Hosted on SOC 2 Type II certified infrastructure with redundancy, automated backups, and disaster recovery.

Access Control

Role-based access control, SSO integration, and complete audit logging of all access and changes.

Monitoring

24/7 security monitoring, intrusion detection, and automated threat response systems.

Data Protection

Encryption Standards

  • In Transit: TLS 1.3 for all connections. We enforce HTTPS and HSTS.
  • At Rest: AES-256 encryption for all stored data.
  • Key Management: Hardware security modules (HSMs) for key storage and rotation.
  • Secrets: API keys, tokens, and credentials are encrypted with additional envelope encryption.

Data Isolation

Customer workspaces are logically isolated with strict access controls. Your data is never accessible to other customers or used for purposes outside of providing the Service.

Data Retention

You control your data retention policies. Default retention is 90 days for events, with configurable policies available on Enterprise plans. Deleted data is purged within 30 days.
