Our Security Commitment
ImgOptimizer is committed to implementing industry-leading security practices to protect your data. We understand that the images you upload may contain sensitive or proprietary information, and we take our responsibility to protect that data seriously.
Our security approach is built on multiple layers of protection, continuous monitoring, and regular security assessments to ensure your data remains safe.
Infrastructure Security
Our infrastructure is designed with security as a foundational element:
- Cloud Security: We host our services on industry-leading cloud providers that maintain SOC 2, ISO 27001, and other security certifications.
- Network Protection: Our infrastructure is protected by enterprise-grade firewalls, DDoS protection, and intrusion detection systems.
- Secure Data Centers: Physical access to our data centers is strictly controlled, monitored, and audited.
- Redundancy: Our systems are designed with redundancy to ensure high availability and data durability.
Data Protection
We implement multiple measures to protect your data:
- Encryption in Transit: All data transmitted between your browser and our servers is encrypted using TLS 1.2+ with strong cipher suites.
- Encryption at Rest: Stored data is encrypted using AES-256 encryption.
- Temporary Processing: Images are processed in memory and are not permanently stored unless you explicitly save them to your account.
- Secure File Handling: We implement secure file handling practices to prevent unauthorized access to your images.
- Data Isolation: Your data is logically isolated from other customers' data.
Access Controls
We implement strict access controls to protect your account and data:
- Authentication: We support strong password policies and multi-factor authentication for account access.
- Authorization: Access to your data is restricted to only you and those you explicitly grant access to.
- API Security: API access is secured using API keys or OAuth tokens with appropriate scopes.
- Session Management: We implement secure session handling with appropriate timeouts and invalidation procedures.
Application Security
Our application is built with security best practices:
- Secure Development: We follow secure coding practices and conduct regular code reviews.
- Vulnerability Management: Regular security testing, including static code analysis and dynamic application security testing.
- Dependency Scanning: We continuously monitor and update dependencies to address security vulnerabilities.
- Input Validation: Strict input validation to prevent injection attacks and other security issues.
