Security Policy

Security Commitment

At scomm.ai, security is fundamental to our mission. This Security Policy outlines our comprehensive approach to protecting your data, our infrastructure, and maintaining the highest standards of security practices.

We are committed to transparency about our security measures and continuously improving our security posture to protect against evolving threats.

Encryption Standards

Email Encryption

All emails processed through scomm.ai are encrypted using:

• AES-256: Industry-standard symmetric encryption for email content
• RSA-4096: Asymmetric encryption for key exchange and digital signatures
• Perfect Forward Secrecy: Unique session keys for each communication
• End-to-End Encryption: Messages encrypted on sender's device, decrypted only on recipient's device

Data in Transit

All data transmitted between your device and our servers is protected using:

• TLS 1.3 for all connections
• Certificate pinning to prevent man-in-the-middle attacks
• Strong cipher suites with perfect forward secrecy

Data at Rest

All data stored on our servers is encrypted at rest using AES-256. Encryption keys are managed separately from encrypted data and are never stored in plain text.

Zero-Knowledge Architecture

scomm.ai implements a zero-knowledge architecture, which means:

• No Access to Keys: We never have access to your encryption keys or passwords
• No Access to Content: We cannot read, decrypt, or access your email content
• On-Device Processing: All encryption and decryption occurs on your device
• No Plain Text Storage: We never store unencrypted email content on our servers

This architecture ensures that even if our systems were compromised, your emails would remain secure and inaccessible to attackers.

Infrastructure Security

Server Security

Our infrastructure is secured through:

• Regular security updates and patches
• Intrusion detection and prevention systems

• Bug Bounty Program: Rewards for responsible disclosure of security vulnerabilities
• Patch Management: Timely application of security patches and updates
• Threat Intelligence: Monitoring of emerging threats and vulnerabilities

Critical vulnerabilities are addressed within 24 hours, while high-severity issues are resolved within 7 days.

Incident Response

We maintain a formal incident response plan that includes:

• 24/7 security monitoring and detection
• Dedicated incident response team
• Automated alerting and escalation procedures
• Containment and mitigation procedures
• Post-incident analysis and improvement
