Security Measures
Development
Throughout the NIVOMAX product development life cycle, SYNAXIOM follows various processes to ensure the highest level of security for both the application and data. The development team operates in a controlled environment with limited permissions, and each code commit undergoes a thorough validation process.
Vulnerability Detection
We conduct recurring scans on frameworks and libraries used by NIVOMAX against known vulnerabilities before each new release and on a daily basis on the most recent official release, utilizing industry-recognized scanning tools and releasing patches when vulnerabilities are identified.
Authentication
NIVOMAX utilizes single sign-on authentication to eliminate the need for usernames or passwords, ensuring no handling or storing of any user credentials.
Authorization
Information received from IDP is securely stored within the OEM’s on-premise infrastructure, facilitating seamless authorization and retrieval of subscription and data license entitlements for users.
Connections
Installed NIVOMAX applications connect only to your ePubs Suppliers ePubs service domain eg. ‘super-pubs.aviation-company.com’ solely for user profile and subscription information retrieval. The application is not designed to connect to any other servers or resources.
Logfiles
Application logs are maintained locally, and users may be requested to send them via email for troubleshooting user-specific issues or clear them at their discretion. No log files are automatically shared with SYNAXIOM or the ePubs Supplier.
Compliance Standards
While SYNAXIOM’s security practices are aligned with the ISO/IEC 27001 standard for Secure Software Development Life Cycle, showcasing our dedication to systematic information security management, it is important to note that we are not certified as of the date of this document. Our commitment to these standards reflects our continuous improvement philosophy but does not imply certification.
User Involvement
If users encounter security concerns or vulnerabilities while using our software, they are encouraged to report them promptly to support@synaxiom.com. SYNAXIOM takes every report seriously and is committed to addressing and resolving issues promptly.
