Security
Security practices, SDLC controls, and responsible vulnerability disclosure at Blocksgenie.
Effective date: August 5, 2026 · Last updated: August 5, 2026
Security is foundational to how Blocksgenie Technologies LLC designs, builds, and operates software. This page summarizes our security posture for Website visitors, prospective clients, and security researchers. Project-specific controls are defined in the applicable Statement of Work, Master Services Agreement, and any security or data-processing addenda.
1. Our security philosophy
We treat security as part of delivery—not a final checklist. That means building secure defaults into architecture, enforcing peer review on meaningful changes, limiting access by least privilege, and coordinating specialized reviews (including smart-contract audits) when production risk requires it.
2. Secure software development lifecycle
- Threat-aware design — architecture and data-flow decisions consider confidentiality, integrity, and availability from the start.
- Peer code review — meaningful changes are reviewed before merge to production-bound branches.
- Dependency awareness — third-party libraries and packages are monitored for known vulnerabilities during delivery.
- Secrets hygiene — credentials and secrets are kept out of source control; access is provisioned intentionally.
- Environment separation — development, staging, and production concerns are separated where the engagement architecture requires it.
- Change discipline — releases follow agreed testing, review, and deployment practices for the engagement.
3. Application and platform security
Depending on the product and stack, engagements may include:
- Authentication and authorization design aligned to role-based or least-privilege access;
- Input validation, output encoding, and protections against common web vulnerabilities;
- Transport encryption (TLS) for data in transit on public networks;
- Hardened configuration of cloud services and managed databases;
- Logging and monitoring suitable for operational and investigative needs;
- Backup and recovery planning appropriate to the system’s criticality.
4. Blockchain and Web3 security
For smart contracts and Web3 systems, we apply defensive engineering patterns suited to EVM and related environments. For production-critical contracts, we coordinate third-party security audits and treat audit findings as first-class delivery work. Clients remain responsible for key management, treasury operations, and on-chain governance decisions unless those responsibilities are explicitly contracted.
5. Cloud and infrastructure
We prefer established cloud providers and managed services with strong security and compliance programs. Hosting choices, identity controls, network boundaries, and monitoring are tailored to each engagement’s risk profile and client requirements (including SOC 2, ISO, HIPAA, or other frameworks when specified by the client).
6. Data protection and privacy
Personal data collected through our Website is handled according to our Privacy Policy. For client systems, data-handling roles (controller/processor), retention, subprocessors, and breach-notification expectations are defined contractually. We do not use client production data for unrelated purposes.
7. People and access
- Access to client systems is granted only as needed for delivery;
- Contractor and team access is reviewed and revoked when no longer required;
- Confidential client information is protected under NDA/MSA obligations;
- Security-sensitive discussions are limited to authorized participants.
8. Vendor and third-party risk
Modern products depend on third-party services. We evaluate vendors relevant to an engagement for security, reliability, and contractual terms, and we document material subprocessors when required by the client agreement.
9. Incident response
If we become aware of a security incident affecting systems we operate or control for a client engagement, we will:
- Investigate and contain the issue;
- Notify affected clients without undue delay as required by contract and law;
- Document impact, remediation, and follow-up actions;
- Improve controls to reduce recurrence risk.
10. Responsible vulnerability disclosure
We welcome good-faith reports of security vulnerabilities affecting Blocksgenie-operated properties (including this Website) or products we maintain under contract when disclosure is authorized.
How to report:
- Submit details through our Website contact form with subject/context indicating a security report; or
- Email info@blocksgenie.io with a clear description, affected URL/system, steps to reproduce, and potential impact.
Please:
- Give us a reasonable time to investigate and remediate before public disclosure;
- Avoid privacy violations, data destruction, service disruption, or social engineering;
- Do not access data that is not yours;
- Act in good faith and within applicable law.
We will acknowledge valid reports as promptly as practical, keep researchers informed of material progress where appropriate, and credit reporters when mutually agreed after remediation.
11. Client responsibilities
Security is shared. Clients are typically responsible for timely feedback, access provisioning, production key management, business continuity decisions, and compliance obligations unique to their industry—unless those items are expressly included in scope.
12. Continuous improvement
Threats evolve. We continuously refine engineering practices, tooling, and operational controls based on engagement lessons, industry guidance (including OWASP-aligned practices), and client requirements.
