Secure software development, by default.
Security is not a phase we tack on at the end at Geminate Solutions. We build it into the architecture, the pipeline, and every developer's access from the first sprint. If your product touches sensitive data, this is the part you want to get right before a single line ships.
How we keep secure software development secure
These are the practices that run on every build, whether you are a healthcare startup with PHI to protect or a fintech that lives and dies by PCI. Not a slide deck. The actual controls our team works under.
SOC 2-Aligned Controls
We build toward the SOC 2 criteria as a working habit. Access controls, audit trails, and written security policies are in place from day one of every project, even where a formal attestation is not in scope. No badge we do not hold, just the controls that earn one.
Encryption, In Transit and At Rest
Everything moving over the wire uses TLS 1.3. Everything sitting in storage is encrypted with AES-256. Communication channels, code repositories, deployment pipelines: all of it stays encrypted, end to end.
Role-Based Access (RBAC)
Every project runs on role-based access, so a developer only ever touches the part of your system they are actively building. When the engagement ends, access is gone inside an hour. Multi-factor auth is enforced, not optional.
Code Security Scanning (SAST and DAST)
Static and dynamic security testing runs inside every CI/CD pipeline. The point is simple. A vulnerability gets caught before it reaches production, not in a post-mortem after something has already gone wrong.
Per-Developer NDAs and IP Protection
Before anyone sees a line of your code, they sign an individual NDA. Your IP ownership is documented in writing up front. Legal protection comes standard on every build. It is never an add-on we charge you for.
Regular Security Reviews
We run internal reviews across infrastructure, access logs, and repositories on a regular cadence. And when a project warrants it, we arrange third-party penetration testing so an outside set of eyes signs off too.
Compliance built in, not bolted on
Which framework you need depends on what you are building. We design the right one in from the start, because retrofitting compliance after launch is the expensive way to learn this lesson.
Building something for healthcare? We do HIPAA-aligned development: encrypted PHI handling, audit logging, minimum-necessary access, and BAA execution, all designed in from the architecture stage.
For products serving European users, we wire in the GDPR workflows that actually matter. Data processing agreements, right-to-deletion, consent management, and data residency controls.
Fintech and e-commerce work follows PCI DSS for anything touching payment data: tokenization, secure key management, and network segmentation handled the way auditors expect.
We treat the SOC 2 Trust Service Criteria (security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, privacy) as a working practice rather than a marketing line. The controls run whether or not a formal attestation is in scope for you.
Secure infrastructure, end to end
Good code on shaky infrastructure is still a breach waiting to happen. So we lock down the cloud, the containers, the secrets, and the monitoring with the same care we give the application itself.
AWS Security
Every cloud deployment gets VPC isolation, tight security groups, scoped IAM policies, CloudTrail logging, and GuardDuty threat detection. Nothing runs wide open.
Container Isolation
Each project lives in its own containerized environment, so there is no cross-project data bleed. Clean provisioning, every engagement, every time. Your code never shares a sandbox with someone else's.
CI/CD Security
Secrets live in AWS Secrets Manager or HashiCorp Vault, never hardcoded into a repo. Automated security scanning runs at every stage of the pipeline before anything reaches production.
Monitoring and Alerting
We watch infrastructure in real time, flag anomalies as they happen, and route automated alerts to the right people. Incident response steps and escalation paths are defined ahead of time, not improvised mid-crisis.
Questions buyers ask before they trust us with their data
How does Geminate Solutions keep our code and data secure?
Security is wired into how we build, not bolted on at the end. Data in transit runs over TLS 1.3 and data at rest is encrypted with AES-256. Every project gets role-based access, so a developer only touches the part of your system they are actively working on, and that access is revoked within an hour of the engagement ending. Static and dynamic security scans run in the CI/CD pipeline, which means a vulnerability gets caught before it ships rather than after. And every developer signs an individual NDA before they see a single line of your code.
Is Geminate Solutions SOC 2 compliant?
We build toward the SOC 2 Trust Service Criteria as a working practice. Access controls, audit logging, and documented security policies are part of every engagement from day one, even when a formal attestation is not in scope for your project. We would rather be straight with you here. We run SOC 2-aligned controls instead of claiming a badge we do not hold. If your procurement team needs a formal attestation, flag it early and we will scope it into the plan.
Do you handle HIPAA, GDPR, or PCI DSS compliance?
Yes, depending on what you are building. Healthcare products get HIPAA-aligned development: encrypted PHI handling, audit logging, minimum-necessary access, and BAA execution. Products with European users get the full set of GDPR workflows, from data processing agreements to right-to-deletion and data residency. Fintech and e-commerce work follows PCI DSS for payment data, tokenization, and key management. Whichever framework applies, it gets built in from the architecture stage. Patching it on before launch is how budgets blow up.
Who owns the intellectual property and the code you build?
You do. We document IP ownership in writing before any work starts, and every developer on your project signs an individual NDA. Legal protection is standard on every engagement, never a paid add-on. The code, the repositories, the deployment pipelines: all of it is yours, and we hand over clean ownership at the end.
Can you build a secure, compliance-ready product for us?
Yes. We are a software and product development partner, and we have shipped 50+ products under these practices, including platforms running at serious scale (a learning product with 250K+ daily active users and an exam platform handling 10M+ requests a minute). Security and compliance get designed in from the first sprint, not retrofitted later. The honest next step is a short call. Start at geminatesolutions.com/get-started and we will map your security and compliance needs against the build, with cost and timeline.
