Robust Security

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.

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 data on its premises and has no technical dependency on office networks or locations. Production data is backed up daily, with backups encrypted, stored redundantly across multiple Availability Zones, 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

Identity assurance refers to the degree of confidence that an individual is genuinely who they claim to be. It helps organizations determine whether identity verification processes are appropriate for the level of risk involved and supports trusted digital interactions.

Strong identity assurance reduces the risk of fraud, impersonation, and identity misuse while helping organizations meet regulatory and customer due diligence requirements. ComplyCube supports multiple internationally recognized identity assurance frameworks, enabling organizations to build trusted onboarding journeys while maintaining security, compliance, and user experience across global markets.
