Data encryption is a cornerstone of Firmana's security architecture. We use industry-leading encryption technologies to protect your data whether it's being transmitted over networks or stored in our systems.
Encryption Standards
AES-256 Encryption
We use Advanced Encryption Standard with 256-bit keys, the same standard used by the U.S. government for top-secret information.
TLS 1.3 in Transit
All data transmission uses the latest Transport Layer Security protocol for maximum protection against interception.
Perfect Forward Secrecy
Each session uses unique encryption keys, ensuring that compromised keys cannot decrypt past communications.
FIPS 140-2 Compliance
Our encryption modules meet Federal Information Processing Standards for cryptographic security.
Encryption at Rest
Database Encryption
All database content is encrypted using AES-256 with regularly rotated encryption keys managed through AWS Key Management Service (KMS).
File System Encryption
Server file systems are encrypted to protect data stored on disk drives from physical access or theft.
Cloud Storage Encryption
All files stored in cloud storage services are encrypted both at the service level and with additional application-level encryption.
Backup Encryption
All backup data is encrypted using the same strong encryption standards as production data.
Key Management
Hardware Security Modules
Encryption keys are generated and stored in FIPS 140-2 Level 3 validated hardware security modules for maximum protection.
Key Rotation
Encryption keys are automatically rotated on a regular schedule to limit exposure from potential key compromise.
Access Controls
Access to encryption keys is strictly controlled with multi-person authorization required for sensitive operations.
Key Escrow
Secure key escrow procedures ensure data can be recovered in emergency situations while maintaining security.
What This Means for You
Complete Protection
Your data is protected with military-grade encryption whether it's stored in our systems or traveling over networks.
Compliance Support
Our encryption practices help you meet regulatory requirements for data protection in your industry.
Peace of Mind
Even in the unlikely event of a security breach, encrypted data would be unreadable without the encryption keys.
No Performance Impact
Strong encryption doesn't slow down your experience - our optimized implementation maintains fast response times.
Our encryption implementation follows zero-knowledge principles - we cannot read your encrypted data even if we wanted to, as we don't have access to your specific encryption keys.
Our encryption standards exceed industry requirements and are regularly audited by independent security experts. Your data is protected with the same level of encryption used by banks and government agencies.
