XYCLE INCLUDED IN VERDANTIX SMART INNOVATORS 2025
xycle
Minviro ensures data security through cutting-edge measures, including state-of-the-art data handling and strict adherence to ISO 27001 standards* and SOC 2 compliance.
Governance
Minviro’s Security and Privacy teams establish policies and controls, monitor compliance with those controls, and prove our security and compliance to third-party auditors.
01
Access should be limited to only those with a legitimate business need and granted based on the principle of least privilege.
02
Security controls should be implemented and layered according to the principle of defence-in-depth.
03
Security controls should be applied consistently across all areas of the company.
04
The implementation of controls should be iterative, continuously maturing across the dimensions of improved effectiveness, increased audibility, and decreased friction.
Security and Compliance at Minviro
Minviro has successfully achieved SOC 2 Type II attestation and is progressing toward ISO 27001 certification. Our latest compliance status is available on our Trust Center.
Data Protection
Data at Rest
All datastores with customer data, in addition to S3 buckets, are encrypted at rest. This means the data is encrypted even before it hits the database so that neither physical access, nor logical access to the database, is enough to read the most sensitive information.
Data in Transit
Minviro uses TLS 1.2 or higher everywhere data is transmitted over potentially insecure networks. We also use features such as HSTS (HTTP Strict Transport Security) to maximize the security of our data in transit. Server TLS keys and certificates are managed by AWS and deployed via Application Load Balancers.
Secret Management
Encryption keys are managed via AWS Key Management System (KMS). KMS stores key material in Hardware Security Modules (HSMs), which prevents direct access by any individuals, including employees of Amazon and Vanta. The keys stored in HSMs are used for encryption and decryption via Amazon’s KMS APIs. Application secrets are encrypted and stored securely via AWS Secrets Manager and Parameter Store, and access to these values is strictly limited.
Penetration Testing
Minviro engages with one of the best penetration testing consulting firms in the industry at least annually. All areas of the XYCLE product and cloud infrastructure are in-scope for these assessments, and source code is fully available to the testers in order to maximize the effectiveness and coverage. We make summary penetration test reports available via our Trust Center.
Vulnerability Scanning
Minviro requires vulnerability scanning at key stages of our Secure Development Lifecycle (SDLC).
Static analysis (SAST) testing of code during pull requests and on an ongoing basis
Software composition analysis (SCA) to identify known vulnerabilities in our software supply chain
Malicious dependency scanning to prevent the introduction of malware into our software supply chain
Dynamic analysis (DAST) of running applications
Network vulnerability scanning on a period basis
External attack surface management (EASM) is continuously running to discover new external-facing assets
Enterprise security
Empowering Enterprise Security at Every Layer
Endpoint Protection
All corporate devices are centrally managed and are equipped with mobile device management software and anti-malware protection. Endpoint security alerts are monitored with 24/7/365 coverage. We use MDM software to enforce secure configuration of endpoints, such as disk encryption, screen lock configuration, and software updates.
Security Education
Minviro provides comprehensive security training to all employees upon onboarding and annually through educational modules within the Vanta platform. Minviro’s security team shares regular threat briefings with employees to inform them of important security and safety-related updates that require special attention or action.
Identity and Access Management
Minviro uses Google Workspace to secure our identity and access management. We enforce the use of phishing-resistant authentication factors. Minviro employees are granted access to applications based on their role, and automatically deprovisioned upon termination of their employment. Further access must be approved according to the policies set for each application.
Vendor Security
Minviro uses a risk-based approach to vendor security. Factors which influence the inherent risk rating of a vendor include: Access to customer and corporate data Integration with production environments Potential damage to the Minviro and/or XYCLE brand Once the inherent risk rating has been determined, the security of the vendor is evaluated in order to determine a residual risk rating and an approval decision for the vendor.
Data Privacy
At Minviro, data privacy is a first-class priority—we strive to be trustworthy stewards of all sensitive data.
Regulatory Compliance
Minviro evaluates updates to regulatory and emerging frameworks continuously to evolve our program.
