Platform Security

Arc XP has invested in a programmatic approach to platform security, including developer training, threat modeling, code and design reviews, code scanning, infrastructure assessment and scanning, and third-party vulnerability assessments.

In addition to these activities, Arc XP's platform is built on security best practices, which align with our ISO 27001 compliance requirements. These practices include data encryption in transit and at rest using AWS platform-provided encryption and key management. Platform authentication is enforced through security industry leader, Okta, and access to all product resources and assets is enforced through SSO and MFA. AWS VPC and other network security features are used for logical separation and network segregation.

Arc XP regularly reviews least privilege and attack surface reduction principles, and active instances' security profiles are controlled by secured and centrally managed AMIs to reduce the risk of persistent attacks. Internet-exposed resources are tightly controlled and protected by Akamai CDN and WAF for best-in-class protection from web-based attacks. AWS platform-provided security services are used to identify and remediate infrastructure issues, detecting threats in real-time using best-in-class machine learning techniques.

Compliance

The Arc XP platform is built, maintained, and operated to comply with the following standards and regulatory regimes:

  • GDPR

  • CCPA

  • ISO 27001

  • PCI

ISO 27001 is a globally recognized standard for information security management systems (ISMS) developed by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). The standard provides a systematic approach for managing and protecting sensitive information, including data confidentiality, integrity, and availability.

Arc XP has adopted ISO 27001 as part of our commitment to implementing, maintaining, and improving security controls, ensuring that we protect our customers' data to the best of our ability. ISO 27001 compliance serves as the overall framework, arching over the various components of our security program.

The Arc XP platform can process card payments using our Subscriptions and Commerce features. These components allow you to set up paywalls for your content or create an eCommerce experience for any products you offer to your customers. In each of these cases, we make it easy to connect to the payment provider of your choice. At no point does Arc XP process or store PAN data, as this functionality is always performed by the third-party payment processor. As a result, Arc XP is a Security Impacting System for your PCI compliance scope, and we self-attest as a Level 2 Service Provider. When you choose to use Subscriptions and Sales features, you own the financial relationship with your customers, and any possible fraud related risks.

Shared Responsibility Model

As an Arc XP customer, you build and configure digital experience on the platform. We are in partnership with you, and we share responsibility for the security of your site, end users, and sensitive data.

It is important to understand your security responsibilities so that you can take appropriate measures to protect your website and data. A clear shared responsibility model, as described in The Arc XP Shared Responsibility Model, helps ensure that we are aligned and working together to keep your websites and data secure.
