Enterprise Security Architecture

A comprehensive guide to WAVE's security framework, designed to meet the most demanding enterprise requirements. From zero-trust architecture to compliance certifications, learn how we protect your streaming infrastructure.

SOC 2 Type II Certified
AES-256 Encryption
GDPR Compliant

Executive Summary

WAVE's security architecture is built on a zero-trust foundation, ensuring that every request is authenticated and authorized regardless of its origin. Our multi-layered defense strategy combines network security, application security, data encryption, and comprehensive access controls to protect enterprise streaming infrastructure.

We maintain SOC 2 Type II certification, ISO 27001 compliance, and are GDPR and HIPAA ready. Our security practices are continuously validated through third-party audits, penetration testing, and bug bounty programs.

This whitepaper provides a detailed overview of our security controls, encryption standards, compliance certifications, and incident response procedures, giving enterprise security teams the information needed to evaluate WAVE for their most sensitive streaming applications.

Defense in Depth

Multiple security layers work together to protect your streaming infrastructure from the network edge to the application core.

Network Security

  • DDoS protection with 200+ Tbps capacity
  • Web Application Firewall (WAF)
  • TLS 1.3 for all connections
  • Private network peering options
  • Geo-blocking and IP allowlisting

Application Security

  • OAuth 2.0 / OIDC authentication
  • Role-based access control (RBAC)
  • API rate limiting and throttling
  • Input validation and sanitization
  • CSRF and XSS protection

Data Security

  • AES-256 encryption at rest
  • TLS 1.3 encryption in transit
  • Hardware Security Modules (HSM)
  • Secure key management
  • Data residency controls

Identity & Access

  • Multi-factor authentication (MFA)
  • SSO integration (SAML, OIDC)
  • Session management
  • Audit logging
  • Just-in-time access provisioning

Compliance & Certifications

Industry-recognized certifications validate our security practices and simplify your compliance requirements.

Key Security Features

Purpose-built security capabilities for enterprise streaming requirements.

Zero-Trust Architecture

Every request is authenticated and authorized, regardless of network location. No implicit trust based on network perimeter.

Continuous authentication verification
Micro-segmented network access
Least-privilege access by default
Device posture assessment

End-to-End Encryption

All data is encrypted from the moment it leaves your encoder until it reaches your viewers, with no unencrypted intermediary storage.

Source-to-viewer encryption
No plaintext data at edge nodes
Customer-controlled encryption keys option
Perfect forward secrecy

DRM Integration

Protect premium content with industry-standard Digital Rights Management across all devices and platforms.
