+# Security & Compliance Standards for MerchantsOfHope.org
+
+This document outlines the security measures and compliance standards implemented in the MerchantsOfHope.org recruiting platform.
+
+## Security Measures
+
+### Authentication & Authorization
+- OIDC (Open ID Connect) for primary authentication
+- OAuth 2.0 for social logins (Google, Facebook)
+- JWT (JSON Web Tokens) for session management
+- Role-based access control (RBAC)
+- Secure password handling with bcrypt hashing
+- Multi-factor authentication capability
+
+### Data Protection
+- Encryption at rest for sensitive data
+- Encryption in transit using TLS 1.3
+- Data anonymization for analytics
+- Secure API endpoints with authentication
+- PII (Personally Identifiable Information) protection
+
+### Network Security
+- CORS (Cross-Origin Resource Sharing) policies
+- Rate limiting to prevent abuse
+- SQL injection prevention through parameterized queries
+- XSS (Cross-Site Scripting) prevention
+- CSRF (Cross-Site Request Forgery) protection
+
+### Compliance Standards
+- **PCI DSS**: For any payment-related data handling
+- **GDPR**: For EU citizen data protection
+- **SOC 2**: For security and availability controls
+- **FedRAMP**: For federal risk and authorization management
+
+### Multi-Tenant Security
+- Data isolation between tenants
+- Tenant-specific access controls
+- Separate database schemas or row-level security
+- Tenant-specific configurations and permissions
+
+## API Security
+- All API endpoints require authentication
+- API rate limiting to prevent abuse
+- Input validation and sanitization
+- Output encoding to prevent XSS
+- Proper error handling without information disclosure
+
+## Audit & Monitoring
+- All user actions logged for audit trails
+- Security event monitoring
+- Access logs for compliance reporting
+- Data retention policies
+
+## Data Retention & Deletion
+- Automatic data purging after retention periods
+- User-initiated data deletion capabilities
+- GDPR-compliant right to be forgotten
+- Secure data disposal procedures
+
+## Security Testing
+- Automated security scanning in CI/CD pipeline
+- Penetration testing by third-party vendors
+- Vulnerability assessments
+- Security code reviews
+
+## Incident Response
+- Security incident detection and response procedures
+- Vulnerability disclosure program
+- Regular security training for developers
+
+## HTTPS & TLS
+- Mandatory HTTPS for all communications
+- TLS 1.3 with strong cipher suites
+- Certificate pinning where applicable
+- HSTS (HTTP Strict Transport Security) headers
+
+## Additional Security Controls
+- Secure session management
+- Account lockout mechanisms after failed attempts
+- Password policy enforcement
+- Secure backup and recovery procedures
