Capitalino's infrastructure is engineered to meet the security demands of institutional finance. Our architecture is built from the ground up for resilience, data integrity, and regulatory compliance — designed to carry significant financial value with zero tolerance for compromise.
Certifications & Standards
Our platform and underlying infrastructure adheres to the following internationally recognized standards:
- SOC 2 Type II: Annual third-party audits verify our security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, and privacy controls
- FIPS 140-2 Level 3: All cryptographic key material is stored and processed using FIPS-validated hardware security modules (HSMs)
- ISO 27001 aligned: Our information security management system follows ISO 27001 principles for risk management and continuous improvement
- PCI DSS: Payment and transaction handling processes comply with PCI DSS requirements where applicable
Network & Infrastructure Security
Multi-Zone Architecture
Our systems are deployed across multiple availability zones with active-active redundancy. No single point of failure exists in our core trading, settlement, or custody infrastructure.
DDoS Protection
We employ multi-layered distributed denial-of-service mitigation at the network edge, with automatic traffic scrubbing and rate limiting to maintain platform availability under adversarial conditions.
Network Segmentation
All services are deployed within strictly segmented virtual private networks. Internal services are never directly exposed to the public internet. Traffic between segments is inspected and filtered by next-generation firewalls with application-layer awareness.
Intrusion Detection & Prevention
Real-time intrusion detection systems (IDS/IPS) monitor all network traffic. Alerts are triaged by our 24/7 security operations team with defined escalation procedures and response SLAs.
Data Security
Encryption at Rest
All data stored within our systems is encrypted using AES-256. Database encryption keys are managed by our HSM infrastructure and rotated on a defined schedule.
Encryption in Transit
All data in transit is protected using TLS 1.3 or higher. We enforce strict certificate pinning for all critical API endpoints and disable legacy cipher suites.
Key Management
Cryptographic keys for digital asset custody and signing are generated and stored within FIPS 140-2 Level 3 certified HSMs. Key ceremonies follow multi-party authorization protocols — no single operator can access key material independently.
Application Security
Secure Development Lifecycle
All code changes undergo peer review and automated static analysis before deployment. Security requirements are embedded into our development process from design through release.
Penetration Testing
We conduct regular penetration tests against all externally facing systems through qualified third-party security firms. Critical findings are remediated within defined SLAs.
Vulnerability Management
Automated vulnerability scanning runs continuously across our infrastructure. Critical and high-severity vulnerabilities are escalated and patched within 24 and 72 hours respectively.
Access Controls
Access to production systems follows the principle of least privilege. All privileged access requires multi-factor authentication and is logged, monitored, and reviewed. Role-based access control (RBAC) is enforced across all internal systems. Credentials are managed through a centralized secrets management platform with automated rotation.
Business Continuity & Disaster Recovery
Our platform is engineered for 99.999% uptime with a recovery time objective (RTO) of under 15 minutes and a recovery point objective (RPO) of under 60 seconds for all critical systems. Disaster recovery procedures are tested quarterly with documented results.
Incident Response
Capitalino maintains a formal incident response plan covering detection, containment, eradication, and recovery. Institutional clients are notified of security incidents affecting their data within 72 hours of confirmed detection, in line with applicable regulatory requirements.
Responsible Disclosure
We welcome responsible security research. If you discover a potential vulnerability in our systems, please contact our security team at [email protected]. We commit to acknowledging reports within 48 hours and working with researchers in good faith.
