Security and Compliance Standards Implementation
|
|
|
|
This document outlines how the MerchantsOfHope recruiting platform ensures compliance
|
|
with PCI DSS, GDPR, SOC 2, and FedRAMP standards.
|
|
|
|
1. Data Protection and Privacy (GDPR):
|
|
|
|
a. Data Minimization: The platform only collects and processes data necessary for
|
|
recruitment functions.
|
|
|
|
b. Consent Management: Users provide explicit consent for data processing, with
|
|
clear information about how their data will be used.
|
|
|
|
c. Right to Access: Users can request access to their personal data through API endpoints.
|
|
|
|
d. Right to Rectification: Users can update their personal information through
|
|
appropriate API endpoints.
|
|
|
|
e. Right to Erasure: Users can request deletion of their personal data (subject to
|
|
legal obligations). The platform implements soft deletion for audit purposes.
|
|
|
|
f. Data Portability: Users can export their data in a structured, machine-readable
|
|
format.
|
|
|
|
g. Privacy by Design: Privacy considerations are built into the platform from
|
|
the ground up.
|
|
|
|
2. Data Security and Encryption:
|
|
|
|
a. In Transit: All data transmission uses TLS 1.3 or higher.
|
|
|
|
b. At Rest: Sensitive data is encrypted using AES-256 encryption.
|
|
|
|
c. Key Management: Cryptographic keys are managed using secure key management systems.
|
|
|
|
d. Database Security: Database connections are encrypted and access is restricted.
|
|
|
|
3. Access Control and Authentication:
|
|
|
|
a. Multi-factor authentication (MFA) is supported for all user accounts.
|
|
|
|
b. OIDC and OAuth 2.0 protocols are implemented for secure authentication.
|
|
|
|
c. Role-based access control (RBAC) restricts access based on user roles.
|
|
|
|
d. Session management with secure, HttpOnly, and SameSite cookies.
|
|
|
|
e. Password policies enforce strong passwords and regular updates.
|
|
|
|
f. API keys are rotated regularly and have limited scope.
|
|
|
|
4. Audit and Logging:
|
|
|
|
a. Comprehensive logging of all access and modification events.
|
|
|
|
b. Logs are protected from unauthorized access and modification.
|
|
|
|
c. Regular log reviews for suspicious activities.
|
|
|
|
d. Retention policies that comply with legal requirements.
|
|
|
|
e. Access to logs is restricted to authorized personnel.
|
|
|
|
5. PCI DSS Compliance (when handling payment information):
|
|
|
|
a. Since we don't currently process payments, we maintain separation between any
|
|
payment processing (if added later) and the recruiting platform.
|
|
|
|
b. If payment processing is needed, it will be handled by PCI DSS compliant
|
|
third-party services.
|
|
|
|
6. SOC 2 Compliance:
|
|
|
|
a. Security: Access controls, data protection, vulnerability management.
|
|
|
|
b. Availability: System performance, monitoring, and incident response.
|
|
|
|
c. Processing Integrity: Data processing accuracy, completeness, and validity.
|
|
|
|
d. Confidentiality: Protection of sensitive data.
|
|
|
|
e. Privacy: Collection, use, retention, disclosure, and disposal of personal information.
|
|
|
|
7. FedRAMP Compliance:
|
|
|
|
a. Security controls aligned with NIST 800-53 security controls.
|
|
|
|
b. Continuous monitoring and security assessment.
|

|
b. Output encoding to prevent XSS attacks.
|
|
|
|
c. CSRF protection for state-changing operations.
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
e. Secure error handling that doesn't expose system information.
|
|
|
|
f. Regular vulnerability scanning and penetration testing.
|
|
|
|
9. Network Security:
|
|
|
|
a. Network segmentation to isolate sensitive data.
|
|
|
|
b. Firewall configuration with least-privilege access.
|
|
