Security
At OneCoreHive, security is not an isolated feature—it is a fundamental engineering principle.
Every product is designed with the objective of protecting customer data, ensuring operational resilience, and reducing security risks throughout the software lifecycle.
Security is integrated from the earliest stages of product design and continuously reviewed as products evolve.
Our Security Principles
Every OneCoreHive product follows the same security philosophy.
Security by Design
Security requirements are considered from the first architectural decisions through deployment, maintenance and retirement. Rather than adding security after development, we build products with secure defaults, controlled access and minimized attack surfaces.
Defense in Depth
No single security control is considered sufficient. Multiple independent layers of protection are applied to reduce risk and improve resilience. Examples include:
- secure authentication;
- encrypted communications;
- access control;
- local processing;
- audit logging;
- secure software updates.
Least Privilege
Applications, users and administrators should receive only the permissions necessary to perform their intended functions. Unnecessary privileges increase operational risk and are avoided whenever possible.
Secure Defaults
Products are designed to operate securely without requiring advanced configuration. Optional features that may introduce additional exposure remain disabled unless explicitly enabled by the organization.
Data Protection
Protecting customer information is a primary security objective. Depending on the deployment model, OneCoreHive applies appropriate safeguards for:
- personal information;
- assessment data;
- organizational configuration;
- authentication credentials;
- exported reports;
- locally stored information.
Encryption
Where applicable, OneCoreHive uses industry-standard cryptographic protocols to protect information during transmission and storage. Encryption may be applied to:
- authenticated communications;
- cloud synchronization;
- backups;
- stored credentials;
- application secrets.
Cryptographic implementations evolve over time as industry standards develop.
Authentication
Access to OneCoreHive services may require authenticated user accounts. Authentication mechanisms are designed to:
- verify identity;
- prevent unauthorized access;
- protect administrative functions;
- support secure account recovery.
Future authentication methods may include multi-factor authentication and enterprise identity providers.
Authorization
Authentication identifies users. Authorization determines what they are allowed to do.
Organizations remain responsible for assigning appropriate roles and permissions to their personnel.
Offline-First Security
Whenever technically possible, processing occurs directly on the customer-controlled device. Benefits include:
- reduced exposure of sensitive information;
- improved resilience during network interruptions;
- greater organizational control;
- lower dependence on cloud infrastructure.
Offline operation does not eliminate the need for local device protection.
Local Device Responsibility
Where information remains exclusively on a locally managed device, OneCoreHive cannot:
- recover deleted files;
- restore damaged devices;
- retrieve locally stored assessments;
- bypass device security mechanisms.
Organizations remain responsible for:
- device protection;
- backup procedures;
- operating system updates;
- physical security.
Secure Development Lifecycle
Security is integrated throughout the software development lifecycle. The standard development process includes:
- architecture review;
- security-focused design;
- code review;
- dependency management;
- functional testing;
- security validation;
- controlled release;
- post-release monitoring.
Vulnerability Management
Potential vulnerabilities are evaluated according to their severity and operational impact. The typical lifecycle includes:
- Identification
- Validation
- Risk Assessment
- Mitigation
- Testing
- Deployment
- Verification
Security improvements are incorporated into future product releases when appropriate.
Responsible Vulnerability Disclosure
Security researchers are encouraged to report suspected vulnerabilities responsibly. Reports should include:
- affected product;
- software version;
- reproduction steps;
- supporting evidence;
- potential impact.
Please avoid publicly disclosing vulnerabilities before sufficient time has been provided for investigation and remediation.
Security reports may be submitted to:
- Securitysecurity@onecorehive.com
Incident Response
When a security incident is identified, OneCoreHive follows a structured response process. The process includes:
- detection;
- validation;
- containment;
- impact assessment;
- remediation;
- recovery;
- post-incident review.
Where legally required, affected customers and authorities will be notified in accordance with applicable regulations.
Third-Party Services
Some OneCoreHive products may rely on carefully selected third-party providers for infrastructure, authentication or distribution. Every provider is evaluated according to:
- security;
- reliability;
- compliance;
- contractual safeguards;
- operational necessity.
A current list of providers is available in the Third-Party Services Register.
Business Continuity
OneCoreHive continuously improves operational resilience to minimize service disruption. Business continuity planning considers:
- infrastructure availability;
- backup strategies;
- recovery priorities;
- service restoration procedures;
- operational monitoring.
Customer Responsibilities
Security is a shared responsibility. Organizations should:
- maintain secure devices;
- protect administrator credentials;
- apply software updates;
- perform regular backups;
- review user permissions;
- train authorized personnel;
- report suspected incidents promptly.
Compliance
Our security program is designed to support internationally recognized security and privacy practices. Depending on product capabilities and deployment models, OneCoreHive aligns its development with principles derived from:
- General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)
- EU AI Act
- Security by Design
- Privacy by Design
- OWASP Secure Development Practices
- ISO/IEC 27001 security management principles
Security RoadmapRoadmap
Our security program continues to evolve. Future initiatives may include:
- Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)
- Single Sign-On (SSO)
- Enterprise Identity Providers
- Hardware Security Keys
- Security Audit Reports
- Independent Penetration Testing
- Security Transparency Reports
- ISO/IEC 27001 certification roadmap
- SOC 2 readiness roadmap
