258-
RESTRICTED = 'Financial or health data'
259-
}
260-
```
261-
262-
#### Classification Guidelines
263162
- **Public**: Marketing content, general documentation
264163
- **Internal**: Business metrics, operational data
265164
- **Confidential**: Customer conversations, contact information
266-

### Data Encryption Standards
269-
270-
#### Encryption Algorithms
271-

272-
- **TLS 1.3**: For data in transit
273-
- **Argon2**: For password hashing
274-
- **Ed25519**: For cryptographic signatures

276-
#### Key Management
277-
```typescript
278-
// Key rotation strategy
279-
const keyRotation = {
280-
encryption_keys: '90 days',
281-

293-
- MongoDB: Point-in-time snapshots
294-
- Redis: RDB snapshots
295-
- Configuration: Encrypted archives
296-
297-
Weekly Backups:
298-
- Full system images
299-
- Offsite storage
300-
- Integrity verification
301-
302-
Monthly Testing:
303-
- Recovery procedure validation
304-
- Data integrity checks
305-
- Performance verification
306-
```
307-
308-
#### Recovery Objectives
309-
- **RTO (Recovery Time Objective)**: <4 hours for critical systems
310-
- **RPO (Recovery Point Objective)**: <1 hour data loss tolerance
311-
- **Data Retention**: 7 years for compliance data
166+
### Backup Strategy
167+
Railway-managed backups for PostgreSQL, MongoDB, and Redis databases.

317173
### Development Security
318-
319-
#### Secure Coding Standards
320-
```typescript
321-
// Input validation example

function validateUserInput(input: string): boolean {
323-
// Length limits
324-
if (input.length > 1000) return false;
325-
326-
// Character restrictions
327-
const allowedChars = /^[a-zA-Z0-9\s\-_.@]+$/;
328-
if (!allowedChars.test(input)) return false;
329-
330-
// No SQL injection patterns
331-
const sqlPatterns = /(\bUNION\b|\bSELECT\b|\bINSERT\b|\bDELETE\b)/i;
332-
if (sqlPatterns.test(input)) return false;
333-
334-
return true;
