250161### Data Classification
251-
252- #### Data Types Handled
253- ``` typescript
254- enum DataSensitivity {
255- PUBLIC = ' Public information' ,
256- INTERNAL = ' Company internal data' ,
257- CONFIDENTIAL = ' Customer personal data' ,
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- - ** Restricted** : Payment data, health information (if applicable)
267-
268- ### Data Encryption Standards
269-
270- #### Encryption Algorithms
271- - ** AES-256-GCM** : For data at rest
272- - ** TLS 1.3** : For data in transit
273- - ** Argon2** : For password hashing
274- - ** Ed25519** : For cryptographic signatures
275165
276- #### Key Management
277- ``` typescript

283- backup_keys: ' Annually'
284- };
285- ```

287- ### Backup & Recovery
288-
289- #### Backup Strategy
290- ``` yaml
291- Daily Backups :
292- - PostgreSQL : Full database backup
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
322- 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;
335- }
336- ```
337-
338- #### Dependency Management
339- - ** Automated Vulnerability Scanning** : Daily dependency checks
340- - ** Patch Management** : Weekly security updates
341- - ** Dependency Lockfiles** : Prevent unauthorized changes
342- - ** License Compliance** : Open source license verification
343-
344- ### Infrastructure Security
345-
346- #### Network Security
347- ``` yaml
348- Firewall Rules :
349- - Allow : HTTPS (443), WSS (443) for WebSockets
350- - Deny : All other inbound traffic
351- - Internal : Service-to-service communication only
352-
353- DDoS Protection :
354- - Rate limiting at edge
355- - Traffic analysis and filtering
356- - Auto-scaling for traffic spikes
357- ` ` `
358-
359- #### Container Security
360- ` ` ` dockerfile
361- # Secure container practices
362- FROM node:18-alpine
363- RUN apk add --no-cache dumb-init
364- USER node
365- EXPOSE 3000
366- HEALTHCHECK --interval=30s --timeout=3s --start-period=5s --retries=3 \
367- CMD node healthcheck.js
368- ```
174+ - Use environment variables for secrets
175+ - Validate all user inputs with Zod schemas
176+ - Implement proper error handling without exposing sensitive data
177+ - Regular dependency updates and security scans
