Trust & Security
Designed for the trust standards your finance team requires.
FinCoreFlow is built with a security-by-design approach. Every architectural decision — from how documents arrive, to how extracted data is stored, to how exports are signed — is structured to support the trust standards finance teams and regulators expect across European and GCC jurisdictions. This page is honest about where we are today and where we are going.
Our security stance
We are direct about our stage: FinCoreFlow is an operational prototype, and we are not yet independently certified. What follows is structured to be verifiable — the compliance posture we inherit from our infrastructure today, the controls that ship in the product now, and the certification path we are committing to as commercial deployments scale.
The trajectory is real and dated: SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 readiness, GDPR Article 32 alignment, and KSA PDPL scoping are all on the roadmap below — framed as commitments and targets, never as guarantees we have already met.
Inherited posture, concrete and verifiable
FinCoreFlow runs on a small set of infrastructure providers, each chosen for compliance maturity. Their certifications are inherited at the infrastructure layer; ours are in progress. The stack below is current and verifiable.
A note on tier-2 extraction. Low-confidence documents fall back to OpenAI GPT-4o, which is US-based today. We are evaluating Azure OpenAI Service to bring this path to full EU-regional residency parity, with the transition targeted before our SOC 2 Type I audit. We would rather state the cross-border gap plainly than imply a residency we have not yet implemented.
Web & API security
- TLS 1.3 everywhere, with HSTS
- HttpOnly, Secure, SameSite session cookies
- Signed inbound webhooks (HMAC); CSRF protection
- Rate limiting on authentication paths
- Multi-tenant isolation — every query scoped by tenant ID
- Append-only audit logging on mutation events
Payments. No card data is stored or transmitted by FinCoreFlow systems today. Future payment processing will route through PCI-DSS-certified processors (Stripe or equivalent), with our own PCI scope minimized to SAQ-A territory.
The certification roadmap
These are commitments and targets, not guarantees. They show that the trajectory toward independent validation is funded into the plan and sequenced.
Target — Q3 2026
- SOC 2 Type I readiness audit
- First-party Data Protection Impact Assessment (DPIA) for KSA PDPL alignment
- Appoint Acting Data Protection Officer (founder)
Target — Q1 2027
- SOC 2 Type II observation period begins
- ISO 27001 gap analysis
Target — Q3 2027
- SOC 2 Type II report issued — contingent on audit-firm engagement
- ISO 27001 Stage 1 audit — parallel track, target late 2027
Data residency & sovereignty
Customer data sits in the EU today — Vercel with EU residency and Neon’s EU region. For European tenants, this supports GDPR data-residency expectations directly, with data minimisation built into the intake pipeline: only the fields finance teams use are extracted and persisted, and document originals are stored separately from extracted records.
For Saudi Arabia specifically: KSA PDPL (Personal Data Protection Law) compliance scoping is in progress, and a DPIA is underway. Cross-border transfer governance is under design — Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) until scale justifies a regional, KSA-hosted deployment. Where regional standards diverge, the platform is being designed to support either posture on a tenant-by-tenant basis.
Responsible disclosure
If you believe you have found a security vulnerability, we want to hear from you. Email security@fincoreflow.com. We operate a 90-day coordinated-disclosure window. A PGP key for encrypted reports is in preparation and will be published here.
Contact the Data Protection Officer
We are a small company and honest about it: the founder wears the DPO hat today. Acting DPO: Hafiz Ahmad, founder. A dedicated DPO role is to be appointed alongside our Series A. For any data-protection request, contact dpo@fincoreflow.com.
FinCoreFlow is operated as a development environment today. Where claims are forward-looking, the path to commercial readiness is part of the planned roadmap above. Where claims describe shipping behavior — encryption, audit trail, tenant isolation — they describe what is in the prototype today.
