Our Security Certifications

Verified protection standards you can trust

End-to-End Encryption

AES-256 & TLS 1.3

All data is encrypted both in transit and at rest using military-grade encryption algorithms. TLS 1.3 ensures secure communication channels, while AES-256 protects stored data with the same standard used by governments and financial institutions.

PII Protection

Automatic redaction

Our advanced AI automatically detects and redacts Personally Identifiable Information (PII) before processing. This includes names, addresses, contact information, and other sensitive data prior to analysis, ensuring privacy compliance and minimizing data exposure risks.

Secure Payments

PCI DSS Level 1 compliance

All payment processing complies with PCI DSS Level 1, the highest security standard in the payment industry. We partner with Paystack, a trusted payment processor, to ensure your financial data is handled with maximum security.

GDPR Compliant

EU data protection

Our platform is built with GDPR principles in mind, prioritizing user privacy and data protection. We are actively aligning with compliance standards by adopting practices such as data minimization, purpose limitation, and providing tools to support user rights.

SOC 2 Type II

Audited annually

Annually, we target to conduct SOC 2 Type II audits by independent third parties. This certification provides verification of our controls for security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, and privacy.

Zero Retention Policy

Automatic data purging

Documents are automatically purged immediately after processing completion. Our zero-retention policy means your sensitive data never remains on our servers longer than necessary for analysis.

Advanced Data Protection

How we safeguard your sensitive information

In-Memory Processing

Documents are processed entirely in memory without permanent storage. This innovative approach ensures no residual data remains on disk after analysis. The processing occurs in isolated, ephemeral locations that are destroyed immediately after completing the assessment.

Automatic PII Redaction

Our system automatically utilizes Microsoft Presidio (an NLP-based tool) to detect and remove sensitive personal information before any analysis occurs. It identifies patterns that match PII (such as names, addresses, emails, ID numbers, etc.) and replaces them with anonymized tokens. This process happens before the content reaches our analysis engines, ensuring that your private information never enters the processing pipeline.

Minimal Data Retention

Documents are automatically purged immediately after processing completion. We maintain only the assessment results and aggregated analytics—never the original documents. Our system automatically schedules deletion tasks that run within minutes of processing completion, with verification checks to ensure complete data removal.

Our Zero-Retention & Ownership Promise

From your signup credentials to your organization’s data, we are legally and ethically bound never to share information with third parties. Even EKONAVA staff cannot access client data unless explicitly required by a court order or legal process. We also enforce a strict zero-retention policy, ensuring all data is securely removed after processing. And for clients requiring full control, we can develop and deploy the system in-house giving you complete ownership of your data and architecture.

Secure Data Flow

Step-by-step protection from upload to results

Secure Upload

TLS 1.3 encryption

Documents are transferred using TLS 1.3, ensuring that no unauthorized party can intercept them during upload.

PII Detection & Removal

Automatic anonymization

AI identifies personal information such as names, emails, or IDs and replaces them with anonymized tokens before further processing.

AI Analysis

In-memory only

The redacted file is analyzed in secure, isolated memory. No content is ever written to permanent storage during this process.

Results

Instant insights

Analysis results are generated and displayed in real-time, giving you immediate, actionable insights.

Optional Save

Client-controlled storage

You decide whether to save results in our secure database for future access. If not, nothing is stored and all traces are permanently purged after processing.
