Security Architecture
Overview
Security is a fundamental aspect of the MOOD MNKY ecosystem, designed to protect user data, business operations, and system integrity. Our security architecture follows industry best practices and implements multiple layers of protection.Our security approach is based on the principle of defense in depth, with multiple security controls distributed throughout the application stack.
Security Principles
Zero Trust Model
All access requests are fully authenticated, authorized, and encrypted regardless of source
Least Privilege
Users and services have the minimum permissions necessary to perform their functions
Defense in Depth
Multiple layers of security controls throughout the architecture
Secure by Design
Security considerations integrated into the development lifecycle from the beginning
Authentication System
Our authentication system is built on Supabase Auth, providing secure user authentication across all MOOD MNKY applications.- Authentication Methods
- Implementation
Authorization Model
Authorization is implemented through a combination of role-based access control (RBAC) and row-level security (RLS) in Supabase.Role-Based Access Control
Row-Level Security Policies
Data Protection
Encryption at Rest
Encryption at Rest
All sensitive data is encrypted at rest using industry-standard encryption algorithms:
- Database: Encrypted using AES-256
- File Storage: Encrypted using server-side encryption
- Backups: Encrypted using the same level of protection as the original data
Encryption in Transit
Encryption in Transit
All data transmitted between services and clients is encrypted using TLS 1.3:
- API Endpoints: HTTPS with TLS 1.3
- Database Connections: TLS-encrypted connections
- Service-to-Service Communication: mTLS (mutual TLS) for authenticated and encrypted communication
Data Minimization
Data Minimization
We follow data minimization principles:
- Only collect data necessary for application functionality
- Implement automated data retention policies
- Provide users with data export and deletion capabilities
- Use data anonymization for analytics and reporting
Network Security
Firewall Configuration
Multi-layered firewall protection with web application firewall (WAF) for application-specific threats
DDoS Protection
CloudFlare protection against distributed denial of service attacks with traffic filtering
API Gateway Security
API rate limiting, request validation, and JWT verification at the gateway level
Network Segmentation
Isolated network segments with controlled communication paths between services
Application Security
Input Validation
CSRF Protection

Vulnerability Management
1
Dependency Scanning
Automated scanning of dependencies for known vulnerabilities using tools like Dependabot and Snyk.
2
Static Application Security Testing (SAST)
Code analysis to identify security vulnerabilities in the codebase.Tools used:
- ESLint Security Plugin
- SonarQube
- GitHub CodeQL
3
Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST)
Testing the running application for security vulnerabilities.Tools used:
- OWASP ZAP
- Burp Suite
4
Penetration Testing
Regular penetration testing by security professionals to identify vulnerabilities.Frequency:
- Major releases
- Annually for the entire platform
- After significant infrastructure changes
Secure Development Lifecycle
Security Requirements
Security requirements defined during planning phase
Threat Modeling
Systematic analysis of potential threats and vulnerabilities
Secure Coding Standards
Documented secure coding practices and guidelines
Code Reviews
Security-focused code reviews before merging
Security Testing
Automated and manual security testing
Deployment Verification
Security verification before production deployment
Incident Response
Detection
Detection
Multiple detection mechanisms are in place:
- Real-time monitoring and alerting
- Log analysis with anomaly detection
- User-reported issues through support channels
- Vulnerability disclosure program
Response
Response
Documented incident response procedures:
- Identification: Confirm and classify the incident
- Containment: Limit the impact of the incident
