Software development
EGG has a development process based on the agile methodology Scrum that uses Git to manage code and work items through sprints with objectives defined.
Software changes are tracked in Git, code reviewed and tested in a test environment before release to production. These test environments and production are physically and logically separate environments. System enforced segregation of duties exists between developers generating the code and developers releasing changes into the production environment.
EGG software development team are following OWASP Top10 guidelines for secure code development.
Production systems
EGG platform is hosted on Amazon Web Services. Network and operational security controls are implemented as part of the security standards requirements. Notifications for the third party providers are evaluated for potential risk.
Penetration testing is performed at least once per year. Results are reviewed by management and tracked through resolution as part of its Risk assessment procedure.
Logging and analysis
EGG platform logs every transaction using Segment.io which persists every event sent in a Data Warehouse which is managed by AWS and backed up every hour with monthly snapshots. EGG platforms also keep a special log entry for detecting unsuccessful logging access attempts.
Log reviews are conducted quarterly to determine if a particular event has been previously logged in the different reviews. If during this initial investigation there's an event that does not fit the normal profile, it should be flagged and a more detailed investigation is required. During an investigation, it might be necessary to gather information from other sources such as change management systems, anti-malware, and IDS, among others.
Data in transit
EGG uses Grade A+ transport-level security (as measured by ssllabs.com) to encrypt data in transit with TLS1.3.
External user passwords for the customers signing up directly with EGG are stored hashed and salted within the database and these cannot be decrypted.
Data retention
All user data is retained as long as it exists as a user and is encrypted at rest with AES-256.
Backups
Users Data backup process consists of a full database backup every 24 hours, we keep 20 days of those. These backups are stored in S3. Client data only resides in the production environment encrypted at rest with AES-256. Backup Data is encrypted using AES-256 with automatic key management and provisioning as it's allowed by S3 Storage Encryption at rest mechanism. Encryption is enforced at the Storage level.
