Security

Bank-grade security from day one

BankOps is built to bank-grade security standards — Postgres RLS, hash-chained audit logs, WebAuthn passkeys, AES-GCM encryption, and more.

Authentication

Two-Factor Authentication

TOTP authenticator apps and WebAuthn passkeys (Face ID, fingerprint, hardware keys) supported. Required for admin roles.

Passkey Support

FIDO2 WebAuthn passkeys — biometric or hardware key login. No passwords to phish, no OTPs to intercept.

Breach Protection

Passwords checked against HaveIBeenPwned k-anonymity API at signup and reset. Account locked after configurable failed login threshold.

Data Protection

Postgres Row-Level Security

Every query is gated by RLS policies — even raw SQL cannot read another institution's data. FORCE ROW LEVEL SECURITY on all 40+ tenant-scoped tables.

Encrypted at Rest & in Transit

AES-GCM for secrets stored in the database. TLS 1.3 on every connection. TOTP secrets and recovery codes encrypted before storage.

Tenant Isolation

Complete data isolation per institution. Separate encryption keys per tenant. No cross-tenant data leakage possible at the database level.

Audit & Compliance

Tamper-evident Audit Trail

Every action is SHA-256 hash-chained to the previous. The chain is verified daily by a scheduled job. Any modification is detected.

Sanctions Screening

Sanctions & PEP screening via OpenSanctions (OFAC / UN / EU). Weekly auto re-screening of all customers across all tenants.

Session Management

Active sessions tracked per device. One-click revocation for individual sessions or all devices. Automatic invalidation on password change.

SOC 2 Type II trajectory

BankOps is designed for SOC 2 readiness. The technical controls are in place — audit preparation begins Q3 2026.
