Security

Last updated:

At Kloudpad Inc., security is fundamental to klapp's design. We've built klapp with privacy and security as core principles, ensuring your data remains under your control.

1. Local-First Architecture

2. No Cloud LLM Dependency

Unlike many AI tools, klapp does not rely on cloud-based large language models. This means:

• Your data is never sent to third-party AI services for processing
• No risk of data exposure through AI model training or inference
• Deterministic, explainable execution without external API calls
• Complete control over your data processing pipeline

3. Data Encryption

3.1 Encryption at Rest

When data is stored locally on your device, klapp uses industry-standard encryption to protect sensitive information. All local databases and configuration files are encrypted using AES-256 encryption.

3.2 Encryption in Transit

When you opt in to sync features or communicate with our servers, all data transmission is encrypted using TLS 1.3. This ensures that data cannot be intercepted or read during transmission.

4. Access Controls

4.1 Granular Permissions

klapp implements fine-grained permission controls for each coworker:

• File system access is restricted to specified directories
• Application access is limited to authorized apps only
• Network access can be restricted or monitored
• Each coworker operates with minimal necessary permissions

4.2 User Authentication

Account access is protected through:

• Secure password requirements with complexity rules
• Multi-factor authentication (MFA) support
• Session management with automatic timeout
• Account lockout after failed login attempts

5. Audit and Compliance

5.1 Comprehensive Logging

klapp maintains detailed audit logs for all coworker executions:

• Complete execution history with timestamps
• Input and output data tracking
• Decision points and workflow steps
• Error logs and exception handling
• User actions and configuration changes

5.2 Compliance Ready

Our security practices are designed to support compliance with:

• GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation)
• CCPA (California Consumer Privacy Act)
• HIPAA (for healthcare use cases with appropriate configurations)
• SOC 2 Type II (in progress)

6. Secure Development Practices

6.1 Code Security

• Regular security code reviews
• Automated vulnerability scanning
• Dependency management and updates
• Secure coding standards and best practices

6.2 Security Testing

• Penetration testing on a regular basis
• Automated security testing in CI/CD pipeline
• Third-party security audits
• Bug bounty program (coming soon)

7. Infrastructure Security

7.1 Server Security

For optional cloud features, we maintain:

• Infrastructure hosted on secure, compliant cloud providers
• Regular security patches and updates
• Network segmentation and firewall rules
• Intrusion detection and monitoring systems
• Regular backup and disaster recovery procedures

7.2 Data Center Security

Our cloud infrastructure providers maintain:

• Physical security controls at data centers
• 24/7 monitoring and surveillance
• Redundant power and network connectivity
• Environmental controls and fire suppression

8. Incident Response

We maintain a comprehensive incident response plan that includes:

• Rapid detection and assessment of security incidents
• Containment and mitigation procedures
• User notification processes
• Post-incident review and improvement
• Compliance with breach notification requirements

9. Vulnerability Disclosure

We take security vulnerabilities seriously. If you discover a security issue, please:

1. Email us at security@klapp.work with details
2. Include steps to reproduce the vulnerability
3. Allow us reasonable time to address the issue before public disclosure
4. Do not exploit the vulnerability or access data beyond what's necessary to demonstrate the issue

We commit to acknowledging reports within 48 hours and providing regular updates on our progress.

10. Security Updates

klapp automatically checks for security updates and notifies users when updates are available. We strongly recommend keeping klapp updated to the latest version to ensure you have the latest security patches and improvements.

11. Best Practices for Users

To maximize your security when using klapp:

• Keep klapp and your operating system updated
• Use strong, unique passwords for your account
• Enable multi-factor authentication when available
• Review and limit coworker permissions to minimum necessary
• Regularly review audit logs for unexpected activity
• Be cautious when enabling sync features and understand what data will be synced
• Use secure networks when accessing cloud features

12. Third-Party Security

When klapp integrates with third-party services (e.g., payment processors, email providers), we:

• Only work with vendors that meet our security standards
• Use OAuth and secure API connections where possible
• Minimize data sharing to only what's necessary
• Regularly review third-party security practices

13. Security Certifications

We are working toward obtaining the following security certifications:

• SOC 2 Type II (in progress)
• ISO 27001 (planned)

Certification status will be updated on this page as we achieve them.
