Security Model

CFTS applies a layered security approach designed to protect both infrastructure and client data.

Security is built into every level of the platform, combining controlled access, system hardening, and continuous monitoring.

Layered Security Approach

Security controls are implemented across multiple areas, including:

  • infrastructure protection
  • access control
  • data protection
  • monitoring and alerting

This ensures that risks are managed at different levels rather than relying on a single control point.

Access Control & Authentication

Administrative access to systems is tightly controlled through:

  • restricted user access policies
  • multi-factor authentication (MFA)
  • IP-based access controls for privileged systems

This reduces the risk of unauthorised access to critical infrastructure.

Infrastructure Protection

CFTS systems are configured using hardened operating environments and secure network design.

This includes:

  • controlled system configurations
  • network segmentation
  • regular review of system security settings

Data Protection

Client data is protected through:

  • encryption in transit (TLS)
  • encrypted storage and backups
  • controlled access to stored data

This ensures that data remains secure both during use and at rest.

Monitoring & Response

Security is supported by continuous monitoring and alerting systems that:

  • track system activity
  • detect unusual behaviour
  • provide visibility into infrastructure status

This enables rapid identification and response to potential issues.

Operational Security Practices

Security is reinforced through ongoing operational processes, including:

  • regular system reviews
  • controlled administrative procedures
  • adherence to defined security policies

Why This Matters

Security risks can arise from multiple sources, including misconfiguration, unauthorised access, and system vulnerabilities.

CFTS addresses this by implementing security as a continuous process rather than a single feature.

This ensures that systems remain protected, monitored, and managed throughout their lifecycle.
