Security Overview¶
1. Company & System Context¶
Soon provides a cloud-based Workforce Management (WFM) Software as a Service (SaaS) solution. Our platform is designed to assist businesses with employee scheduling, time and attendance monitoring, labor forecasting, and regulatory compliance.
-
Architecture: Soon is a SaaS platform hosted exclusively on Amazon Web Services (AWS). Our infrastructure leverages managed services for compute, databases, and content delivery to ensure stability and scalability.
-
Key Components: The system architecture includes a core API, AI-driven forecasting services, and various enterprise integrations.
-
Data Types: We handle operational and customer data, including Personally Identifiable Information (PII) such as names, email addresses, work schedules, and optional location data.
2. Security Governance & Direction¶
Information security is a core pillar of our operational strategy.
-
ISO 27001 Commitment: We are currently implementing an ISO/IEC 27001-aligned Information Security Management System (ISMS). This framework ensures our security practices meet internationally recognized best practices.
-
Ownership: Security governance is led by our CEO, with internal ownership managed by the Risk and Compliance function to ensure executive-level oversight.
-
Principles: Our security posture is built on three fundamental principles:
-
Least Privilege: Access is granted only to the information required for a specific role.
-
Defense in Depth: We employ multiple layers of complementary controls to protect our assets.
-
Risk-Based Approach: Controls are driven by business needs and formal risk assessments.
3. Risk Management¶
Soon maintains a proactive and structured approach to identifying and mitigating threats.
-
Methodology: We perform periodic risk assessments where risks are evaluated based on their likelihood and impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
-
Risk Domains: Our risk management focus includes:
-
Unauthorized access to customer data.
-
Third-party and supply chain integration risks.
-
Cloud infrastructure misconfigurations.
-
Service availability and business continuity.
4. Key Security Controls¶
Access Control¶
-
RBAC: We enforce Role-Based Access Control to ensure users only have access commensurate with their tasks.
-
Authentication: Multi-factor authentication (MFA) is required for remote and privileged access.
-
Production Access: Access to production systems is tightly controlled and limited to authorized personnel.
Infrastructure & Cloud Security¶
-
AWS Hosting: All services are hosted in AWS, utilizing network isolation and environment separation (e.g., dev, staging, and production).
-
Network Security: We use firewalls (AWS Security Groups), Virtual Private Clouds (VPC), and segregated subnets to protect our environment.
Application Security & Data Protection¶
-
Secure Development: We follow secure coding principles and conduct code reviews as part of our SDLC.
-
Encryption in Transit: All data transmitted over public networks is encrypted using TLS.
-
Encryption at Rest: Customer data and backups are encrypted at rest using AES-256.
-
OWASP Practices: Our development standards are informed by industry-standard best practices to prevent common vulnerabilities.
Monitoring & Incident Response¶
- Logging: Centralized logging and monitoring are implemented via tools like AWS CloudWatch and Sentry.
Backup & Availability¶
- Resilience: We perform regular backups and maintain the ability to restore critical systems to ensure high availability.
5. Compliance Status & Roadmap¶
-
Current Status: Our ISO 27001 implementation is currently in the draft and implementation phase.
-
Roadmap: We are committed to achieving full certification to validate our adherence to international security standards. Soon remains open to security reviews and detailed questionnaires from our partners during this process.
