title: Security at APOLLO
type: security-posture-page
note: >-
  This is a published security posture page, not a trust portal. There is no trust.apollocover.com,
  no document request flow, no audit report, no certificate and no subprocessor list. It is
  detailed and specific — unusually so for a Canadian broker — but every named certification is
  INHERITED from an infrastructure or payment vendor. APOLLO does not claim a SOC 2, ISO 27001 or
  PCI DSS certification of its own.

certifications:
- SOC 2
- ISO 27001
- PCI DSS

certifications_detail:
- name: SOC 2 Type 2
  held_by: AWS data centres, and Stripe
  apollo_held: false
  quote: >-
    "The data centers used for storing your content and allowing it to be delivered to your users
    are also certified for compliance with the SOC 2 Type 2 standard."
- name: ISO 27001
  held_by: AWS
  apollo_held: false
  quote: >-
    "Physical security to our servers and to your data is managed by AWS security certifications"
    (linking to https://aws.amazon.com/compliance/iso-27001-faqs/)
- name: PCI DSS
  held_by: Stripe
  apollo_held: false
  quote: >-
    "APOLLO uses Stripe to process credit card payments, which means that no credit card
    information or related payment information is stored on our servers. Stripe enforces
    stringent PCI DSS (Payment Card Industry) compliance criteria..."

apollo_operated_controls:
  encryption:
    at_rest: AES-256 in AWS S3, DynamoDB and EBS; keys in AWS KMS
    in_transit: HTTPS/TLS v1.2 minimum, including to the CDN
  testing: annual third-party penetration tests of infrastructure, web applications and APIs
  vulnerability_management: internal severity classification with an internal SLA for fixes, post-mortems where warranted
  sdlc: >-
    Bitbucket pull-request peer review, pair programming, automatic static code analysis and
    dependency scanning (SonarCloud) in CI, separate QA AWS account with no production data,
    security-by-design embedded in the product organisation
  monitoring: AWS GuardDuty, DataDome (bot/fraud/DDoS), third-party 24/7 SOC, CloudTrail across all environments, OpsGenie escalation
  network: AWS security groups, Web Application Firewall, AWS Shield
  access: role- and permission-based access to customer data, all actions recorded and audited; MFA enforced across AWS and Bitbucket
  resilience: multi-region replication, versioned S3 buckets, point-in-time recovery to 35 days
  data_retention: documented Data Retention and Data Classification policies; application logs retained 365 days minimum
  incident_response: >-
    documented incident response plan covering notification and cooperation with customers, data
    protection authorities and law enforcement; affected customers notified without undue delay
  people: security and privacy training for employees and contractors, confidentiality clauses in standard contracts
  vendor_management: risk assessment of every SaaS/tool; contractual privacy and security commitments required of third parties
  end_user_controls: two-factor authentication via email; minimum 8-character password policy with complexity requirement

gaps:
  vulnerability_disclosure: >-
    No coordinated vulnerability disclosure channel. The page describes internal vulnerability
    management but publishes no security contact address, no responsible-disclosure policy, no
    safe-harbour statement and no bug bounty. There is no /.well-known/security.txt on any host.
    A researcher who found a flaw would have to use the general contact form.
  audit_reports: none offered, and no request mechanism
  subprocessors: no subprocessor list published
  own_certifications: none — every named certification belongs to AWS or Stripe
  status_page: none
  privacy_regime: >-
    PIPEDA and provincial privacy law apply, and a public privacy policy exists
    (https://apollocover.com/privacy-policy), but the security page makes no explicit PIPEDA,
    Law 25 or GDPR statement.
