App Web-Specific Compliance

This document covers compliance aspects specific to the App Web service. For platform-wide compliance framework (SOC 2, GDPR, ISO 27001, encryption standards, audit logging, etc.), refer to the platform compliance documentation.

App Web Security Architecture

Defense-in-Depth Model:

• Edge Layer: Cloudflare DDoS protection, WAF, rate limiting

• Application Layer: Auth.js authentication, SvelteKit server-side validation

• Database Layer: Row-Level Security (RLS) in PostgreSQL/Neon

• Session Layer: Secure session management with encryption

See Architecture: Security for detailed security implementation.

For platform-wide security framework, see Infra-Core Compliance.

App Web Data Privacy

App-Specific Data Handling:

• User Sessions: Encrypted session cookies with httpOnly and secure flags

• Multi-Tenancy: RLS enforces tenant isolation at database query level

• Personal Data: User profiles, tenant memberships, activity logs

• Data Residency: Neon database regions configurable per tenant

Privacy Features:

• Data minimization in UI (only show necessary information)

• User consent management for analytics

• Export functionality for GDPR data portability

• Delete functionality cascades across all tenant data

For comprehensive GDPR compliance, see Infra-Core Compliance.

App Web Tenant Isolation

Multi-Layered Isolation:

1. Application Layer: Tenant context extracted from session

2. Database Layer: Row-Level Security (RLS) policies

3. Query Layer: All queries include tenant_id filter

4. API Layer: Tenant validation before external API calls

RLS Implementation:

CREATE POLICY tenant_isolation ON users
  USING (tenant_id = current_setting('app.current_tenant_id')::uuid);

See Architecture: Multi-Tenancy for comprehensive multi-tenancy design.

App Web Access Control

App-Specific RBAC:

• Platform Admin: Manage platform settings, view all tenants

• Tenant Owner: Full control of tenant, billing, user management

• Tenant Admin: Manage tenant users and settings

• Tenant Member: Access tenant features based on permissions

• Group Admin: Manage specific groups within tenant

• Group Member: Access group resources

Permission Enforcement:

• Server-side permission checks in +page.server.ts files

• Client-side UI hiding (non-security, UX only)

• Database-level RLS as final enforcement layer

For platform-wide RBAC framework, see Infra-Core Compliance.

App Web Audit Logging

App-Specific Audit Events:

• Authentication (login, logout, session refresh)

• User management (create, update, delete, role changes)

• Tenant management (create, update, settings changes)

• Group management (create, update, member changes)

• Data access (exports, API calls)

Logging Infrastructure:

• CloudWatch Logs for server-side events

• PostHog for user analytics and behavior

• Cloudflare Analytics for edge/WAF events

For comprehensive audit framework, see Infra-Core Compliance.

---

App Web Incident Response

App-Specific Detection:

• Real-time error monitoring (PostHog)

• Cloudflare security analytics and WAF alerts

• SvelteKit error boundaries and logging

• Database query performance monitoring

Response Workflow:

1. Incident detected (PostHog/Cloudflare/CloudWatch)

2. Team notified via Slack/PagerDuty

3. Impact assessed (affected tenants, severity)

4. Mitigation deployed (rollback, hotfix, WAF rule)

5. Root cause analysis

6. Preventive measures implemented

For platform-wide incident response, see Infra-Core Compliance.

App Web Compliance Controls

App-Specific SOC 2 Controls:

• CC6.1: Auth.js authentication with session management

• CC6.2: TLS 1.3 via Cloudflare

• CC6.3: Database encryption via Neon (AES-256)

• CC6.7: PostHog monitoring and Cloudflare analytics

App-Specific Availability:

• Cloudflare global CDN (100% uptime SLA)

• Serverless deployment (auto-scaling)

• Neon database with point-in-time recovery

• Zero-downtime deployments

For complete SOC 2 framework, see Infra-Core Compliance.
