Security at TAO

Your Data Security is Our Priority - Multiple layers of protection for your translation data

Core Security Principles

Zero Training Policy

Your translation data is never used to train AI models. Your content remains exclusively yours.

End-to-End Encryption

All data is encrypted in transit (TLS 1.3) and at rest (AES-256), ensuring complete protection.

Minimal Data Retention

Translation history is retained for only 30 days by default. You can delete data anytime.

Infrastructure Security

Data Centers & Hosting

Provider: Cloud Infrastructure Provider Locations: Multiple regions for redundancy Architecture: Containerized deployment with Docker Database: PostgreSQL with encryption at rest

Network Security

  • Web Application Firewall (WAF) protection
  • DDoS mitigation and protection
  • Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) isolation
  • Network segmentation and micro-segmentation
  • Intrusion detection and prevention systems

Data Protection Measures

Layer Protection Method Details
Transit TLS 1.3 All API communications encrypted
Storage AES-256 Database and file encryption at rest
Backups Encrypted & Distributed Multi-region encrypted backups
Keys KMS Hardware security module key management
Secrets Vault Centralized secret management

Access Control & Authentication

API Authentication

  • Bearer token authentication
  • API key rotation support
  • Scope-based permissions
  • Rate limiting per key

User Authentication

  • Secure password hashing (bcrypt)
  • JWT-based authentication
  • Session management with refresh tokens
  • 2FA support (TOTP)

Admin Access

API Security Features

Rate Limiting

Tier-based rate limits prevent abuse and ensure fair usage across all customers.

Input Validation

All inputs sanitized and validated to prevent injection attacks and malicious payloads.

CORS Protection

Strict CORS policies prevent unauthorized cross-origin requests to your data.

Request Signing

HMAC signatures available for webhook verification and request authenticity.

IP Allowlisting

Enterprise accounts can restrict API access to specific IP addresses.

Audit Logging

Complete audit trail of all API operations for security analysis and compliance.

Incident Response

Security Incident Procedure

Detection & Analysis

Immediate investigation of potential security events

2.
Containment

Isolate affected systems to prevent spread

3.
Eradication

Remove threat and patch vulnerabilities

4.
Recovery

Restore systems and verify normal operations

5.
Communication

Notify affected users within 72 hours

6.
Post-Incident Review

Learn and improve security measures

Responsible Disclosure

We appreciate the security research community's efforts in helping keep TAO secure. If you discover a vulnerability:

  1. Email details to security@toanother.one
  2. Include steps to reproduce the issue
  3. Allow us reasonable time to address the issue before public disclosure
  4. We'll acknowledge receipt within 48 hours
  5. We'll provide updates on remediation progress

Note: We currently don't offer a bug bounty program but acknowledge researchers in our security hall of fame.
