Security Policy

Reporting a Vulnerability

The BDR Agent Factory team takes security seriously. We appreciate your efforts to responsibly disclose your findings.

How to Report

Please DO NOT report security vulnerabilities through public GitHub issues.

Instead, please report them via email to:

📧 security@bdragentfactory.com

Include the following information:

  1. Type of vulnerability (e.g., SQL injection, XSS, authentication bypass)
  2. Full paths of source file(s) related to the vulnerability
  3. Location of the affected source code (tag/branch/commit or direct URL)
  4. Step-by-step instructions to reproduce the issue
  5. Proof-of-concept or exploit code (if possible)
  6. Impact of the vulnerability
  7. Your contact information for follow-up

What to Expect

  • Acknowledgment: Within 24 hours
  • Initial Assessment: Within 72 hours
  • Regular Updates: Every 7 days until resolution
  • Resolution Timeline: Critical issues within 7 days, high severity within 30 days

Supported Versions

We provide security updates for the following versions:

Version Supported
2.x.x ✅ Yes
1.x.x ✅ Yes (until Jun 2026)
< 1.0 ❌ No

Security Measures

Authentication & Authorization

  • OAuth 2.0 for API authentication
  • JWT tokens with RS256 signing
  • Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) for fine-grained permissions
  • API key rotation every 90 days
  • Multi-factor authentication (MFA) for admin accounts

Data Protection

  • TLS 1.3 for all data in transit
  • AES-256 encryption for data at rest
  • Field-level encryption for sensitive PII
  • Key management via AWS KMS/Azure Key Vault
  • Data retention policies compliant with GDPR/HIPAA

Infrastructure Security

  • Network isolation with VPCs and security groups
  • Web Application Firewall (WAF) for DDoS protection
  • Intrusion Detection System (IDS) monitoring
  • Regular security scanning with Snyk, Bandit, and OWASP ZAP
  • Container security with image scanning and runtime protection

Application Security

  • Input validation on all API endpoints
  • SQL injection prevention with parameterized queries
  • XSS prevention with output encoding
  • CSRF protection with tokens
  • Rate limiting to prevent abuse
  • Security headers (CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options)

Monitoring & Logging

  • Security Information and Event Management (SIEM)
  • Real-time alerting for suspicious activity
  • Audit trails for all sensitive operations
  • Log retention for 7 years (compliance requirement)
  • Anomaly detection with ML-based monitoring

Compliance

Certifications

  • ✅ SOC 2 Type II (In Progress)
  • ✅ ISO 27001 (Planned Q3 2026)
  • ✅ HIPAA Compliant
  • ✅ GDPR Compliant
  • ✅ PCI DSS (Planned Q4 2026)

Regulatory Compliance

  • IFRS 17 - Insurance contracts accounting
  • HIPAA - Healthcare data privacy
  • GDPR - Data protection regulation
  • AML - Anti-money laundering
  • CCPA - California Consumer Privacy Act

Security Best Practices

For Users

  1. Protect API Keys

    • Never commit API keys to version control
    • Use environment variables or secret managers
    • Rotate keys regularly (every 90 days)

  2. Use HTTPS

    • Always use HTTPS for API calls
    • Verify SSL certificates
    • Pin certificates in production

  3. Implement Rate Limiting

    • Set appropriate rate limits for your use case
    • Monitor for unusual traffic patterns
    • Implement exponential backoff

  4. Validate Input

    • Validate all user input before sending to API
    • Sanitize data to prevent injection attacks
    • Use allowlists instead of denylists

  5. Monitor Usage

    • Review audit logs regularly
    • Set up alerts for suspicious activity
    • Track API usage patterns

For Developers

  1. Secure Coding

    • Follow OWASP Top 10 guidelines
    • Use static analysis tools (Bandit, SonarQube)
    • Conduct code reviews for security

  2. Dependency Management

    • Keep dependencies up to date
    • Use pip-audit or safety for Python
    • Monitor for CVEs in dependencies

  3. Secret Management

    • Use AWS Secrets Manager or HashiCorp Vault
    • Never hardcode secrets
    • Implement secret rotation

  4. Testing

    • Write security tests
    • Perform penetration testing
    • Use DAST tools (OWASP ZAP)

  5. Deployment

    • Use infrastructure as code (Terraform)
    • Implement least privilege access
    • Enable audit logging
