Robust Security

The digital age necessitates stringent security and privacy measures. Every byte of data is valuable, and every interaction must be safeguarded. At ComplyCube, our proprietary technology is designed with this principle at its core, providing unmatched security to our customers. Our commitment to building trust starts with a steadfast dedication to privacy, security, and quality in all aspects of our organization.

Information Security Management

Access to the code repository is managed via an Identity Provider with SSH key authentication. Every code commit triggers automated testing through Continuous Integration (CI), alerting the team to issues like build failures or security vulnerabilities. Releases require explicit initiation by a senior staff member and must pass pre- and post-deployment checks. Rollbacks to specific infrastructure versions can be performed at any time.

ComplyCube’s platform is firmly anchored in Cloud-Native methodologies, adopting industry-leading standards and recommendations, including NIST, DSOMM, CIS Benchmarks, and OWASP. Deployments are released into a dedicated serverless environment, which is protected by multiple layers of security, including Network Firewalls, Web Application Firewalls, and Virtual Private Clouds (VPCs).

ComplyCube’s cloud-first services can be built and deployed to multiple targeted availability zones (AZs) for additional redundancy, resiliency, and improved disaster recovery. ComplyCube uses Amazon Web Services, Inc. (AWS) to host databases, applications, Application Programming Interfaces (APIs), and internal tools.

Data Storage and Backups

ComplyCube does not store any data on its premises and maintains no technical dependency on its office networks or locations. This enables ComplyCube to serve global customers with diverse storage and data localization requirements. Daily backups of all production data are performed, with all backups encrypted, stored redundantly across multiple Availability Zones (AZs), and secured by our cloud service provider.

ComplyCube encrypts data following industry-accepted encryption standards while at rest and in transit to ensure effective protection against unauthorized or unlawful processing. All web traffic through the ComplyCube website is encrypted via HTTPS and every request to the platform goes over a secure TLS channel. Stored data is encrypted using AES-256 encryption.

Our platform supports Single Sign-On (SSO), allowing customers to use their existing Identity Provider when logging in. Each request made by an authenticated user undergoes verification against an active session. User sessions are securely maintained within a host cookie exclusive to our platform’s domain.

The platform supports the use of multiple roles and access rights to ease access management and least privilege. Members can be assigned specific access rights according to their roles.

All employee platform access is also granted on a “least required access‘“ principle, and access rights are reviewed at regular intervals.

Frequently asked questions

A certified Identity Service Provider (IDSP) is an accredited organization that meets stringent standards for securely verifying identities. This certification ensures that the IDSP maintains high levels of security, accuracy, and compliance in handling sensitive personal information.

ComplyCube holds certifications across all levels of confidence under the DIATF, meeting 24 distinct profiles. With our government-certified products, we are uniquely equipped to offer specialized services such as Right-to-Rent, Right-to-Work, and Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) checks.

PII data is categorised as “Confidential”, and special category PII, e.g. biometric data, is categorised as “Strictly Confidential”, which is subject to enhanced privacy protections. Such information is only accessed on a need-to-know basis and is stored and transmitted using the highest security measures available, including encryption, secure storage and restricted digital access controls.

ComplyCube ensures compliance with UK privacy laws, the Consumer Duty Act, and the GDPR through the appointment of a DPO, adherence and certification to local and internationally recognised standards (ISO 27001, UK DIATF, ACCS 2:2021 Technical Requirements for Data Protection and Privacy), and the implementation of Privacy-by-Design measures in product design and development.

Regulatory frameworks globally do not allow an organization to pass their obligatory AML and KYC compliance liabilities to an AML provider – instead, they remain directly accountable. Our services are designed to integrate seamlessly into AML frameworks, aiding in adopting a risk-based approach tailored to specific regulatory requirements. As a provider in this domain, we do not assume the liability obligations of our clients.
