Security

Security Overview

A transparent description of the technical and organizational security measures protecting Blue Bridge systems, client data, and service integrity.

Infrastructure

AWS Cloud Infrastructure

All Blue Bridge production systems run on Amazon Web Services — the most trusted enterprise cloud platform globally.

Multi-Region

Primary: us-east-1 (N. Virginia). EMEA: eu-west-1 (Ireland). Cross-region replication for critical data.

🌐
CloudFront CDN

Global content delivery via AWS CloudFront with 400+ edge locations worldwide. DDoS protection included.

Private VPC

All compute resources run inside a private Virtual Private Cloud. No direct public internet access to backend systems.

WAF Protection

AWS Web Application Firewall protects against OWASP Top 10, SQL injection, XSS, and bot attacks.

Auto Scaling

Elastic infrastructure automatically scales to handle traffic spikes without service degradation.

IAM Policies

AWS Identity and Access Management with fine-grained permissions. No wildcard IAM policies in production.

Encryption

Encrypted Communications

Data at Rest

AES-256 encryption for all stored data (databases, files, backups)
AWS KMS (Key Management Service) for key management
RDS PostgreSQL with encryption enabled at the storage level
S3 server-side encryption (SSE-S3) for all object storage
Encrypted Redis (ElastiCache) for session and cache data

Data in Transit

TLS 1.3 enforced for all HTTP connections (HTTPS everywhere)
HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) headers configured
ACM (AWS Certificate Manager) for SSL/TLS certificates
Encrypted API calls between all internal services
TLS certificate pinning for mobile applications
Access Control

Role-Based Access Control

🎭
RBAC

Role-Based Access Control with granular permissions. Every user and system has the minimum required access (principle of least privilege).

Multi-Factor Auth

MFA required for all administrative access. TOTP and hardware key options available for enterprise clients.

API Key Management

Scoped API keys with expiration policies. Automated rotation for system-to-system credentials.

Audit Logging

Comprehensive audit trail of all access, changes, and administrative actions. Logs retained for 12 months minimum.

🚪
Zero-Trust

Zero-trust network architecture. No implicit trust based on network location. All access is verified continuously.

Session Management

JWT tokens with short expiration. Automatic session invalidation on suspicious activity. Secure cookie attributes.

Data Protection

Backups & Recovery

Automated daily backups of all databases and critical data
Cross-region replication — backups stored in a secondary AWS region
Point-in-time recovery for databases (up to 35 days)
Backup encryption — all backups encrypted with AWS KMS
Quarterly restore tests to validate backup integrity
S3 versioning enabled for all important stored objects
Recovery Targets
Recovery Time Objective (RTO) 4 hours
Recovery Point Objective (RPO) 1 hour
Backup Retention Period 35 days
Restore Test Frequency Quarterly
Monitoring

24/7 Monitoring

System Monitoring

AWS CloudWatch monitors all infrastructure metrics: CPU, memory, disk, network, database performance. Alerts configured for anomalies.

Security Monitoring

AWS GuardDuty provides intelligent threat detection. VPC Flow Logs analyze network traffic patterns for suspicious activity.

📝
Application Logging

Structured logging with correlation IDs. All API requests logged. Real-time log analysis with alerting on error rate spikes.

Response

Incident Response

1
Detection

Automated monitoring detects anomalies. Security team alerted within minutes via PagerDuty.

2
Containment

Immediate isolation of affected systems. WAF rules updated to block attack vectors.

3
Assessment

Root cause analysis and impact assessment. Classification as P1/P2/P3 based on severity.

4
Notification

Affected clients notified within 24 hours. GDPR breach notification within 72 hours where required.

5
Recovery & Review

Service restoration. Post-incident report delivered to enterprise clients within 5 business days.

Response SLAs
P1 — Critical (data breach, full outage)< 1 hour
P2 — High (partial outage, security threat)< 4 hours
P3 — Medium (degraded performance)< 24 hours
P4 — Low (minor issue)< 72 hours

🔎 Responsible Disclosure

We welcome responsible security research. If you discover a vulnerability in our systems, please report it to us privately before public disclosure.

security@bluebridge.es

We commit to: acknowledge within 24 hours, respond within 5 business days, not pursue legal action for good-faith research.
