PhysicalGuard is engineered from the ground up with defense-in-depth principles. Every biometric template, every audit log, every API call is protected.
Multiple layers of protection ensure that biometric data, audit trails, and system access are secured at every level.
All biometric templates are encrypted with AES-256-GCM authenticated encryption. Unique nonces per record prevent replay attacks.
Biometric data never exists in plaintext on disk. Templates are encrypted before writing and decrypted only in secure memory during matching.
Every audit log entry includes an HMAC hash linking it to the previous entry. Any modification breaks the chain and is immediately detectable.
Built-in liveness detection algorithms prevent presentation attacks — rubber fingerprints, printed irises, and digital replay attempts are rejected.
Accounts are automatically locked after configurable failed authentication attempts. Administrators are alerted immediately via the admin portal and SIEM.
Per-client and per-endpoint rate limiting protects the API from brute-force and denial-of-service attempts. Configurable thresholds and lockout durations.
PhysicalGuard is designed to help organisations meet the most demanding regulatory requirements across multiple industries and geographies.
Sarbanes-Oxley Act
Tamper-proof audit trails, segregation of duties via role-based access, and complete change tracking satisfy SOX Section 404 internal control requirements.
Payment Card Industry
Multi-factor biometric authentication, encrypted data at rest and in transit, access logging, and network segmentation support align with PCI-DSS requirements.
Health Insurance Portability
Unique user identification, automatic logoff, encryption, and audit controls satisfy HIPAA Technical Safeguards for electronic protected health information (ePHI) access.
General Data Protection Regulation
Biometric data processed under explicit consent with purpose limitation. Data minimisation, encryption, and the right to erasure are supported by design.
Digital Personal Data Protection (India)
Compliant with India's DPDP Act 2023 — explicit consent for biometric data processing, purpose limitation, data localisation support, breach notification readiness, and Data Fiduciary obligations built into the platform.
PhysicalGuard's audit system goes beyond simple logging. Every event is part of a cryptographic chain that can be independently verified for integrity.
