Security Architecture Overview
MOFHAN LLC treats security as a structural property of the systems we build — not a checklist applied at deployment. Every system we design begins with a threat model, and every code pathway is analyzed against that model before implementation.
Core Security Principles
- Zero-Trust Architecture (ZTA): No implicit trust, regardless of network position. Every request is authenticated, authorized, and logged — including internal service-to-service calls within private VPCs.
- Encryption Standards: TLS 1.3 across all transit layers. AES-256-GCM for all datastore volumes. RSA-4096 or Ed25519 for asymmetric key operations.
- Immutable Audit Trails: Critical event ledgers use append-only storage structures with cryptographic chaining, preventing tampering without detection.
- Secret Management: No credentials in source code or environment variables. HashiCorp Vault or cloud-native secret managers with automatic rotation policies.
- Dependency Scanning: Automated CVE scanning on every CI pipeline run. Verified software bill of materials (SBOM) produced at each build.
Compliance Contexts
MOFHAN engineers have production experience designing systems within HIPAA, SOC 2, and PCI-DSS compliance frameworks. Where regulatory context applies, architecture decisions are validated against framework requirements before implementation.
Security Testing
Our systems undergo automated red-team simulation via continuous penetration testing tooling integrated into staging environments. We recommend periodic third-party penetration testing by independent auditors for all production systems handling sensitive data, and we facilitate that process with complete technical access during the engagement.
