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 processed in memory and discarded after sealing — not stored on our servers
  • 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
