Security Architecture

1. "Security First" Methodology

Delivering high-fidelity municipal endpoints requires strict isolation and robust defense protocols. ResPermitFeed implements enterprise-grade infrastructure controls deeply integrated into our delivery pipeline.

2. Cryptographic Standards

All data flow, from extraction nodes to our API gateways and into client Webhooks, is rigorously protected.

• Data in Transit: Entirely secured via TLS 1.3. Unencrypted HTTP traffic is immediately dropped at the load balancer.
• Encryption at Rest: All operational databases, including ephemeral caches and user metadata, utilize AES-256 block-level encryption.
• Secrets Management: API keys are cryptographically hashed using standard hashing functions; we cannot retrieve or reverse-engineer active tokens.

3. API & Endpoint Hardening

Our surface area is restricted entirely to API endpoints mapped for data delivery, actively monitored for abuse vectors.

• Strict schema validation on all incoming and outgoing requests.
• Automated IP blacklisting for credential stuffing or volumetric abuse.
• Strictly enforced algorithmic rate limiting on an individual token basis.

4. Ongoing Compliance & Auditing

Systems must be continuously tested to ensure absolute integrity regarding customer delivery layers.

• Regular API Audits: Automated internal penetration tests evaluating the resilience of our endpoints.
• Dependency Scanning: Real-time static analysis of our serverless functions and containerized environments.
• Infrastructure as Code: Immutable servers where configuration drift is flagged immediately by CI/CD safeguards.
