Core Principles

Security by Design

Every layer of our platform is built with defense-in-depth, privacy-preserving, and transparent operational standards.

🛡️

End-to-End Encryption

All data in transit uses TLS 1.3 with strict cipher suites. Data at rest is encrypted with AES-256-GCM. Keys are rotated quarterly and managed via HSM-backed KMS.

👤

Zero-Knowledge Privacy

We never sell or share user data. Reader activity is anonymized at the edge. Contributor identities are protected unless explicitly made public by the user.

🔍

Continuous Threat Monitoring

24/7 SOC monitoring, automated anomaly detection, and real-time DDoS mitigation ensure platform availability and data integrity across all regions.

🧩

Secure Content Pipeline

AI-assisted content ingestion is sandboxed. All edits undergo cryptographic hashing and version control. Malicious payloads are stripped before publication.

📜

Compliance & Certifications

Fully GDPR, CCPA, and COPPA compliant. SOC 2 Type II certified. ISO 27001 certified infrastructure with annual third-party penetration testing.

⚡

Incident Response SLA

Public disclosure within 72 hours of confirmed breach. Dedicated emergency hotline for critical vulnerabilities. Full post-incident forensic reports published.

FAQ

Security Questions

Contributor data is stored in isolated, encrypted partitions. IP addresses are hashed and discarded after session validation. Real identities are never linked to public profiles unless explicitly opted in by the user. We support anonymous editing with cryptographic reputation tracking.
Our incident response team follows a strict playbook: containment within 1 hour, mitigation within 6 hours, patching within 24-48 hours, and public disclosure within 72 hours unless coordinated delay is requested. All incidents are documented in our transparency reports.
No. Aevum operates on a privacy-first model. Reader activity is processed in-memory for personalization and never persisted. Cookies are strictly functional and expire after session closure. Third-party analytics are completely disabled.
All AI-assisted content undergoes multi-stage verification: cryptographic source tracing, human editorial review, and cross-reference validation against trusted academic databases. Unverified AI outputs are sandboxed and never published without expert approval.
