Military-Grade Security Architecture

Multi-layered defense system protecting against DDoS, injection attacks, and cyber threats

Defense-in-Depth Strategy

MyCarPass implements multiple layers of security controls, ensuring that even if one layer is compromised, others continue to protect your data.

Layer 1: AWS Web Application Firewall (WAF)

Advanced WAF rules protect against OWASP Top 10 vulnerabilities including SQL injection, cross-site scripting (XSS), and remote code execution. Real-time threat intelligence blocks known malicious IP addresses and patterns.

  • Rate limiting prevents credential stuffing and brute force attacks
  • Geo-blocking restricts access from high-risk countries
  • Bot detection identifies and blocks automated attack tools
  • Custom rules tailored to parking industry threat landscape
Layer 2: DDoS Protection (AWS Shield Advanced)

Enterprise-grade DDoS mitigation automatically detects and mitigates volumetric attacks at the network and application layers. Protection includes:

  • Always-on traffic monitoring and attack detection
  • Automatic mitigation of network layer attacks (L3/L4)
  • Protection against application layer attacks (L7)
  • 24/7 DDoS Response Team (DRT) access
  • Cost protection against scaling charges during attacks
Layer 3: Network Security

Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) isolation with subnet segmentation separates public-facing and private resources:

  • Security Groups act as stateful firewalls for EC2 instances
  • Network ACLs provide subnet-level traffic filtering
  • Private subnets for databases with no internet access
  • VPN and AWS Direct Connect for secure remote administration
Layer 4: Data Encryption

End-to-end encryption protects data in transit and at rest:

  • TLS 1.3 encryption for all data in transit
  • AES-256 encryption for data at rest in S3 and RDS
  • AWS KMS for centralized key management
  • Encrypted EBS volumes for server storage
  • SSL/TLS certificates with automatic renewal
Layer 5: Access Control & Authentication

Strict identity and access management prevents unauthorized access:

  • IAM roles with principle of least privilege
  • Multi-factor authentication (MFA) for all admin accounts
  • Session-based authentication with automatic timeout
  • IP whitelisting for administrative access
  • Comprehensive audit logging of all access attempts
Layer 6: Monitoring & Incident Response

24/7 security monitoring with automated threat detection:

  • Amazon GuardDuty for intelligent threat detection
  • CloudWatch for real-time metrics and alarms
  • CloudTrail for complete API activity logging
  • SIEM integration for security event correlation
  • Automated incident response playbooks
  • Regular penetration testing and vulnerability assessments

Compliance & Certifications

MyCarPass and AWS meet the strictest compliance standards for data protection and security.

  • ISO 27001 Certified: Information security management system (ISMS) certification
  • SOC 2 Type II: Independent audit of security, availability, and confidentiality controls
  • GDPR Compliant: Full compliance with EU data protection regulations
  • PCI DSS Level 1: Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard compliance
  • HIPAA Eligible: AWS infrastructure supports HIPAA compliance requirements
  • Regular Audits: Annual third-party security assessments and penetration tests

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about our cloud infrastructure

This is AWS S3's eleven nines of durability, meaning your data stored in S3 buckets has a 99.999999999% probability of remaining intact over a given year. For our compute infrastructure, we guarantee 99.99% availability (four nines), which translates to less than 5 minutes of downtime per year. Our multi-AZ deployment and automated failover ensure continuous operation even during maintenance or unexpected failures.

We use AWS Shield Advanced which provides always-on DDoS protection at both network (Layer 3/4) and application (Layer 7) layers. The system automatically detects and mitigates attacks without any impact to your service. Combined with AWS WAF rate limiting and CloudFront's global distribution, we can absorb multi-terabit attacks. We also have 24/7 access to AWS's DDoS Response Team for sophisticated attack scenarios.

Primary data is stored in AWS data centers within your chosen region (e.g., EU-West-1 for European customers, US-East-1 for North American customers). Data is automatically replicated across multiple Availability Zones within that region for redundancy. We can accommodate specific data residency requirements for GDPR or other regulatory compliance. Backups are retained in the same region to maintain data sovereignty.

Automated daily snapshots are taken every 24 hours with 7-day retention. Weekly full backups are performed every Sunday and retained for 30 days. We also maintain transaction logs for point-in-time recovery, allowing restoration to any specific second within the past 7 days. For enterprise customers, we can extend retention periods up to 90 days and provide geo-redundant backup storage in secondary regions.

Our multi-AZ deployment means your system runs simultaneously across at least three separate data centers within a region. If one Availability Zone fails, traffic automatically routes to healthy zones with zero downtime. For complete region failures (extremely rare), enterprise customers can opt for our multi-region disaster recovery setup with automated failover to a secondary AWS region within minutes.

We implement defense-in-depth with multiple protection layers. AWS WAF blocks common attacks like SQL injection, XSS, and command injection at the edge. Our application code uses parameterized queries and input validation to prevent injection attacks. We employ Content Security Policy headers, CORS restrictions, and CSRF tokens. All user input is sanitized, and we conduct regular penetration testing and vulnerability scans to identify and remediate potential weaknesses.

Absolutely. Our auto-scaling groups can add server capacity within 90 seconds of detecting increased load. The system automatically scales from our baseline 2-4 instances up to 20+ instances during peak periods. Load balancers distribute traffic evenly, and our SQS message queue buffers requests to prevent overload. For planned events, we can pre-warm the infrastructure to handle expected traffic levels with zero lag.

Access to production systems is strictly controlled through IAM roles with multi-factor authentication required for all administrative access. Only senior DevOps engineers have production access, and all access is logged and audited. Customer data is encrypted at rest and in transit. Our staff cannot view your unencrypted data without explicit authorization and a valid business reason. We maintain comprehensive audit trails of all system access for compliance purposes.

Because the database and assets are separate, yes we could migrate you to your own hosting environment, however there would be a cost associated to this as we would need to plan and execute the process.

Yes, our software developers can work with you to setup a sub domain from your existing website to our cloud based infrastructure. That way when users navigate to for example: parking.my-domain.com it can look and feel apart of your existing website.
