Security

How we protect your data and our infrastructure

Last updated: 11/02/2026

Danaya is a media authentication platform built on cryptographic integrity. Security is at the core of everything we do, from how we seal media to how we store your data. This page describes the technical and organizational measures we implement to keep your information safe.

Architecture & Infrastructure

Danaya is built on a modern, secure architecture designed for reliability and performance.

  • Frontend hosted on Vercel with automatic HTTPS and edge caching
  • Backend REST API running on isolated Node.js instances
  • MongoDB Atlas database with encryption at rest and automated backups
  • Stateless API design, no session data stored on servers
  • Environment variables managed via secure vaults, never committed to code

Encryption & Hashing

Every seal created on Danaya relies on strong cryptographic primitives to guarantee media integrity.

  • SHA-256 hashing of media files for tamper-proof fingerprints
  • HMAC signatures to bind metadata (GPS, timestamp, device) to each seal
  • All communications encrypted via HTTPS/TLS 1.2+
  • Passwords hashed with bcrypt (salted, 12 rounds)
  • API keys generated with cryptographically secure random bytes

Authentication & Access Control

We use industry-standard mechanisms to verify identity and control access to resources.

  • JWT-based authentication with short-lived access tokens
  • Refresh token rotation to limit exposure on token theft
  • API key authentication for programmatic access with per-key scoping
  • Rate limiting on all endpoints (configurable per plan)
  • Account lockout after repeated failed login attempts

Data Storage & Hosting

Your data is stored on certified infrastructure with strong availability and durability guarantees.

  • MongoDB Atlas hosted on AWS with SOC 2 and ISO 27001 certification
  • Automated daily backups with point-in-time recovery
  • Frontend and serverless functions hosted on Vercel (SOC 2 compliant)
  • Media files are processed in memory and discarded by default after sealing. Business and Enterprise plans can optionally store media in private storage, which you can disable or delete at any time.
  • Verification data (hashes, metadata) stored long-term for seal validation

Compliance & Data Protection

Danaya is designed to respect your rights under European and international data protection regulations.

  • GDPR-compliant data processing, minimal data collection, purpose limitation
  • LCEN compliance (French Digital Economy Confidence Act) with full legal notice
  • Right to access, rectify, and delete your personal data at any time
  • Data portability, export your seals and verification history
  • Cookie consent management with opt-in analytics
  • Data Processing Agreement (DPA) available for enterprise customers

Incident Response

We have processes in place to detect, respond to, and communicate about security incidents promptly.

  • 24-hour incident response commitment for critical security issues
  • Automated monitoring and alerting on suspicious activity
  • Post-incident review and root cause analysis for every event
  • Affected users notified within 72 hours as required by GDPR
  • Continuous improvement of security measures based on findings
