🛡️ Core Security Pillars

A defense-in-depth strategy spanning physical, virtual, network, and application layers.

🏢

Physical Infrastructure

24/7 guarded facilities, biometric access control, redundant power, CCTV monitoring, and tamper-evident server enclosures across all 50+ data centers.

🌐

Network Isolation

Customer environments are logically isolated using VLANs, VPCs, and micro-segmentation. Cross-tenant traffic is strictly prohibited at the hypervisor level.

🔑

Identity & Access

Enforced MFA, RBAC, SSO/SAML 2.0 integration, short-lived credentials, and continuous session validation with anomaly-based step-up authentication.

📡

Monitoring & Telemetry

Real-time logging, SIEM integration, automated threat correlation, and immutable audit trails retained for 365+ days per compliance requirements.

📜 Compliance & Certifications

Independently audited and certified to meet global security and privacy standards.

✓ Certified

SOC 2 Type II

Annual independent audits validating security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, and privacy controls.

✓ Certified

ISO 27001

Internationally recognized information security management system (ISMS) covering governance, risk, and operational procedures.

✓ Compliant

GDPR & Data Residency

Full EU data processing agreements, regional data isolation, and cross-border transfer safeguards for regulated workloads.

✓ Compliant

HIPAA / PCI DSS

Available for healthcare and payment processing workloads with strict access logging, encryption, and environmental controls.

Data Encryption & Key Management

CloudNexus implements a comprehensive encryption strategy covering data in transit, at rest, and in use. All customer data is encrypted automatically with industry-standard algorithms.

AES-256-GCM encryption for all block and object storage
TLS 1.3 enforced for all public endpoints and API traffic
mTLS mutual authentication between internal services
KMS Integration with AWS KMS, GCP KMS, and Azure Key Vault
Customer-Managed Keys (CMK) with automated rotation policies
Secure Erasure of decommissioned media per NIST SP 800-88

⚡ Threat Detection & Incident Response

Proactive defense, continuous monitoring, and rapid remediation powered by our 24/7 Security Operations Center.

🛡️ DDoS Mitigation

Multi-Tbps scrubbing capacity with anycast routing. L3/L4/L7 attack detection with automatic traffic diversion and zero-touch mitigation.

🔍 AI-Powered Detection

Behavioral analytics and threat intelligence feeds identify anomalous access patterns, privilege escalation, and data exfiltration attempts.

🚨 Incident Response

Documented playbooks, automated containment, forensic logging, and guaranteed SLA for critical incident acknowledgment and resolution.

🔐 Zero Trust Architecture

Never trust, always verify. CloudNexus enforces strict identity validation, least-privilege access, and continuous authorization.

👤

Identity-Centric Security

Every request is authenticated and authorized. Short-lived tokens, device posture checks, and contextual risk scoring prevent unauthorized access.

🧱

Micro-Segmentation

Workloads are isolated at the process and container level. Lateral movement is restricted by policy, not perimeter.

📋

Policy Enforcement

Centralized policy engine evaluates compliance, encryption status, and access rules in real-time before allowing traffic or operations.

❓ Security FAQ

Common questions about infrastructure, compliance, and data handling.

All CloudNexus data centers meet Tier III+ standards with biometric access, mantraps, 24/7 armed guard patrols, redundant power systems, and environmental controls. Third-party physical security audits are conducted annually.

Yes. CloudNexus supports Customer-Managed Keys (CMK) integrated with AWS KMS, GCP KMS, and Azure Key Vault. You retain full control over key rotation, revocation, and access policies while CloudNexus handles transparent encryption/decryption.

Critical security incidents are acknowledged within 15 minutes and escalated to our dedicated response team. We provide hourly status updates during active incidents and post-mortem reports within 72 hours of resolution.

CloudNexus is fully compliant with GDPR and offers a Data Processing Agreement (DPA). For HIPAA, we provide a Business Associate Agreement (BAA) with encrypted storage, audit logging, and access controls tailored for healthcare workloads.

We enforce strict logical isolation using VPCs, network namespaces, and hypervisor-level separation. Shared resources are encrypted per-tenant, and our internal access policies follow a zero-trust model with continuous audit monitoring.
