Our Security Commitment

At Numu, security is not an afterthought—it's built into everything we do. We understand that you're entrusting us with your most sensitive business data, and we take that responsibility seriously. Our comprehensive security program combines cutting-edge technology, rigorous processes, and continuous monitoring to protect your information at every level.

Data Encryption

Encryption at Rest

All data stored in our systems is encrypted using AES-256 encryption, the same standard used by banks and government agencies worldwide. This ensures that even in the unlikely event of unauthorized access, your data remains unreadable and protected.

Encryption in Transit

All data transmitted between your browser and our servers is protected using TLS 1.3 encryption with perfect forward secrecy. This prevents man-in-the-middle attacks and ensures your data cannot be intercepted during transmission.

Infrastructure Security

UAE-Based Data Centers

Your data never leaves the UAE. We use ISO 27001-certified data centers located in the United Arab Emirates with:

  • 24/7 physical security and surveillance
  • Biometric access controls
  • Redundant power and cooling systems
  • Fire suppression and environmental controls
  • Regular security audits and compliance assessments

Network Security

  • Firewalls: Multi-layer firewall protection with intrusion detection systems
  • DDoS Protection: Advanced protection against distributed denial-of-service attacks
  • Network Segmentation: Isolated network zones to contain potential security incidents
  • VPN Access: Encrypted VPN connections for all remote administrative access

Access Controls

Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)

All user accounts are protected by multi-factor authentication, requiring both something you know (password) and something you have (authentication code) to access your account.

Role-Based Access Control (RBAC)

Our internal systems use strict role-based access controls, ensuring employees can only access the data they need to perform their job functions. Access is regularly reviewed and automatically revoked when no longer needed.

Single Sign-On (SSO)

Enterprise customers can integrate with their existing identity providers using SAML 2.0 for centralized access management and enhanced security.

Continuous Monitoring

24/7 Security Operations

Our security team monitors systems around the clock, using advanced threat detection and automated alerting to identify and respond to potential security incidents in real-time.

Automated Threat Detection

Machine learning algorithms continuously analyze system behavior to detect anomalies, suspicious activity, and potential security threats before they can cause harm.

Security Testing & Audits

  • Penetration Testing: Regular external security assessments by independent firms
  • Vulnerability Scanning: Automated daily scans for security vulnerabilities
  • Code Reviews: Security-focused code reviews before any production deployment
  • Compliance Audits: Annual third-party audits for ISO 27001 and regulatory compliance

Application Security

Secure Development Lifecycle

Security is integrated into every stage of our development process:

  • Security requirements defined during design phase
  • Automated security testing in CI/CD pipeline
  • Manual security review before production release

Protection Against Common Vulnerabilities

  • SQL injection protection through parameterized queries
  • Cross-site scripting (XSS) prevention with input validation
  • Cross-site request forgery (CSRF) protection with tokens
  • Clickjacking protection with X-Frame-Options headers
  • Regular dependency updates to patch known vulnerabilities

Data Protection & Privacy

  • Data Minimization: We only collect data necessary for service delivery
  • Data Segregation: Each customer's data is logically isolated
  • Secure Deletion: Cryptographic erasure when data is deleted
  • Backup Encryption: All backups are encrypted and stored securely
  • Disaster Recovery: Tested backup and recovery procedures

Employee Security

All employees with access to customer data undergo thorough background checks and sign confidentiality agreements.
