Our security motto: Security should be built in, not bolt-on!
"Security is something you buy, it's something we do, and it takes talented people to do it right."
Our security philosophy is based on the realization that this is a competence.
Our passion for this challenging but meaningful task is driven by our focused approach and our drive for continuous development.
Culture
A strong safety culture is crucial to minimize safety risks. The entire ORCA team therefore has a very high level of safety awareness.
Training and awareness-raising measures help to keep our employees up to date on best security practices and potential threats.
Regular security checks and audits are carried out to ensure that all our applications and associated systems remain secure.
Development
High safety standards are integrated into our development process right from the start. Secure coding practices, such as avoiding insecure code, properly validating user input and securely storing data, are critical.
A thorough security check of the software, including penetration tests and code reviews, identifies vulnerabilities and potential attack vectors.
Security updates and patches are regularly installed to close known security gaps.
Infrastructure
The security of the network and infrastructure components on which our applications are operated is just as important as the security of the application itself.
A robust network design, firewall configurations, regular security monitoring and intrusion detection/prevention systems help to prevent unauthorized access to the software.
The use of encryption technologies for data traffic, both at rest and during transmission, is also of great importance.
Key factors
WHAT MAKES US DIFFERENT
Understanding security as a specialist area
Security requires in-depth specialist knowledge. Our ORCA specialists have the necessary knowledge of security concepts, best practices and technologies to recognize potential threats and take appropriate countermeasures.
They are familiar with the latest security trends and developments and can identify security vulnerabilities before they become a serious threat.
Our specialists also have experience and expertise in security analysis. You can carry out a comprehensive risk assessment of the individually developed application and thus identify potential vulnerabilities.
With their knowledge of various attack vectors, they develop targeted security measures to protect the applications from attacks. They also carry out safety audits to ensure compliance with safety standards and guidelines.
For these reasons, security is developed internally at ORCA and not outsourced.
ORCA Security Stack
Our security stack forms a solid basis for the development of individual applications.
This combination enables our developers to create robust and scalable applications.
Our tech stack is based on widely used technologies and is valued by many developers and companies for its flexibility, security and support from an active open source community.
