Overview

Monte Carlo embeds security into every phase of software development. From system design through production deployment, our engineering teams follow a secure development lifecycle that integrates automated testing, peer review, and continuous validation to ensure application reliability and data protection.

Secure Development Lifecycle

Security is built directly into Monte Carlo’s engineering workflows. Code undergoes static and dynamic analysis in our CI/CD pipelines, and dependencies are automatically scanned for known vulnerabilities. Every change is peer-reviewed and approved.

Before deployment, changes are tested against recognized risks such as the OWASP Top 10 and CWE categories.

Development, staging, and production environments remain isolated, and all releases follow formal change-management approvals to maintain code integrity.

Access and Authentication

At the application layer, Monte Carlo enforces granular access controls through Role-Based Access Control (RBAC), Single Sign-On (SSO), and Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA). Session management policies limit token lifetimes and detect anomalies in account activity.

These measures govern user and customer access, complementing the infrastructure-level IAM protections described in the previous section.

Data Protection and Encryption

All data handled by the Monte Carlo Platform is encrypted in transit and at rest using TLS 1.2+ and AES-256 encryption.

Data segregation ensures that each customer’s environment remains logically isolated.

Data retention and deletion policies follow least-privilege and data-minimization principles consistent with global privacy regulations.

Vulnerability Testing and Remediation

Monte Carlo conducts ongoing application-level vulnerability assessments. Automated scans and third-party penetration tests evaluate API and interface security, while our responsible disclosure program encourages external researcher input.

All findings are triaged by severity, tracked through formal SLAs, and re-tested following remediation to verify closure.

Change Management and Deployment Security

Application deployments are automated and auditable. Monte Carlo uses Infrastructure-as-Code to define approved configurations and immutable build artifacts to ensure that only signed, verified code reaches production.

Automated rollback and separation of duties between engineering and operations teams reduce deployment risk and prevent unauthorized changes.

Monitoring and Application Defense

Application behavior is continuously monitored through centralized logging and anomaly detection systems.

Suspicious API activity, authentication anomalies, and injection attempts trigger real-time alerts routed to Monte Carlo’s on-call security engineers.

Application-level telemetry integrates with our broader infrastructure defense systems for unified detection and response.
