Security
At Focal, safeguarding our clients' information is of the utmost importance, and we achieve this by adhering to local and international industry standards.
Our Key Differentiators
DevSecOps
At the core of our approach is the integration of security throughout the entire software development lifecycle. We adhere to security best practices and frameworks, such as the OWASP Top 10, in our application development processes. By leveraging advanced tools, we facilitate the early detection and prevention of vulnerabilities, ensuring that robust protection is embedded within our development practices from the outset.
Vulnerability Management
Our security stack includes various security testing tools and technologies, such as Static Application Security Testing (SAST) and Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST) & Vulnerability Management. Through systematic scanning of systems and digital assets, we promptly identify vulnerabilities, enabling efficient patch management and strengthening of our defenses against cyber threats.
Penetration Testing
To further enhance our security measures, we conduct rigorous penetration testing. These critical assessments play a vital role in identifying vulnerabilities within our systems, allowing us to ensure an optimal defense posture and remediate any findings. This proactive approach to security testing is essential for maintaining a secure and resilient operational environment for our clients.
Infrastructure Security
Our digital infrastructure is hosted on world-class cloud platforms with a global presence, ensuring robust security measures that meet international standards. These platforms are certified by top industry authorities and offer stringent security measures. We employ advanced identity and access management solutions, including Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA), to restrict access to authorized users only.

Our operations are under constant monitoring 24/7
Network Security
We maintain a multi-tiered network security architecture, incorporating Virtual Private Clouds (VPCs) to segregate public and private network traffic effectively. Our deployment of Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) across the network monitors and alerts us to potential malicious traffic, ensuring a secure network environment.
Monitoring & Logging
Our operations are under constant monitoring 24/7, with Focal’s Managed Detection and Response Provider playing a crucial role in our comprehensive incident response strategy. This continuous monitoring enables us to detect cyber risks and threats. Furthermore, the implementation of advanced solutions like Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) enhances our capability to identify and respond to anomalies promptly, ensuring comprehensive visibility across our network and effective response to potential breaches.
Incident Response
Facing the spectrum of cyber threats, our team collaborates closely with top-tier Incident Response (IR) service providers, adhering to our comprehensive and thorough Incident Response Plan (IRP). This collaboration ensures efficient management and recovery from potential cybersecurity incidents, underscoring our commitment to resilience, rapid response, and recovery in the face of cyber adversities.

Data Protection
The protection of our client’s data is of paramount importance. We employ state-of-the-art encryption algorithms for data at rest, including Transparent Data Encryption (TDE), and TLS 1.3 encryption for data in transit. These encryption standards, combined with rigorous key management practices, ensure the confidentiality and integrity of our clients' data against unauthorized access.
Disaster Recovery
Our unwavering commitment to operational continuity is supported by robust backups and a comprehensively tested Disaster Recovery Plan (DRP). This plan includes documented procedures for redundancy and backup strategies that align with our Service Level Agreements (SLAs). Regular testing through walkthroughs, simulations, and parallel testing ensures our preparedness to restore services swiftly and effectively in any eventuality.
