Security & Trust
Last updated: June 13, 2026
Foundations, hospitals, government agencies, and nonprofits trust CIFIS with sensitive program and capital data. This page documents the controls that protect it.
Authentication
- Email and password sign-in with industry-standard hashing.
- Optional Google OAuth, gated to pre-approved emails.
- Public account creation is disabled — access is invitation-only via the pilot program.
- Session tokens are short-lived and refreshed transparently.
Authorization
- Role-based access control inside each organization (admin / member).
- Platform admin role is stored in a separate, server-validated table — never client-controlled.
- Every privileged server function authorizes the caller before acting.
Multi-tenant isolation
Every customer record carries an organization ID. Row-Level Security policies are enforced at the database layer so that a user from one organization cannot read or write another organization's data, even if a request reaches the API directly. Tenant isolation is validated through documented testing procedures and ongoing verification.
Audit logging
- Sensitive actions (pilot approvals, role changes, admin operations) are written to an append-only audit log.
- Logs include actor, action, target, and timestamp.
- Logs are retained for operational review and security investigation.
Data protection
- Encryption in transit (TLS) for all client and server traffic.
- Encryption at rest for the primary database and managed storage.
- Secrets and API keys are stored in a managed secret store — never in source.
- AI prompts are constructed server-side and constrained to records the user is authorized to read.
Operational practices
- Dependency scanning and automated security linting on every change.
- Least-privilege service roles; service-role keys never reach the browser.
- Public webhook and API endpoints verify signatures before processing payloads.
- Incident response: we will notify affected organizations of any confirmed security incident materially affecting their data.
