1. Secure Development


1.1. Safe Development Policy


What technologies are used in product development?

ANSWER: ASP.NET WebForms;

ASP.NET WebApi

.NET Framework 4.7.2 with C #;

React JS

SQL Server 2014 database

Does the product use any internal infrastructure?

ANSWER: No. We use the AWS cloud.


Is product development done by an internal or external team?

ANSWER: All product development is done by an internal team from Engage.


Is there segregation of environments? Example: Production, Development, Approval, Test and QA "

ANSWER

DEV: Used for product development and improvement. It is used only by the IT team.

TEST: Environment where the development team uploads the new features so that the internal CS team and the external client can test and validate the improvements applied in the product releases.

PRODUCTION: Environment used by end users and customers

Physical development, approval and production environments have been and / or are strictly controlled

ANSWER: Yes.


Is the application or will it be hosted on dedicated server (s)?

ANSWER: The applications are hosted on Amazon's AWS servers, on three separate servers:

Application: On an EC2 server, with AutoScalling configured.

Database: On an RDS server

Content Server: Stores static files, such as videos, PDF documents, DOC, etc. It is on an S3 server.


How the development / test system and data are prevented from being inadvertently migrated to production environments and vice versa (for example, launching virtual replication, image or snapshot mechanisms)

ANSWER: The application is developed in an environment segregated from the productive environment. The source code is versioned on GitHub and the database scripts (whether to create / change objects and / or insert / update in enumeration tables) are created by the developers and stored, also, on GitHub. When we are going to deploy to production, we do the update at low access time, after business hours. The database scripts created during the development stage are run against the production database, too.


The organization has mechanism controls to ensure that all pages and resources require authentication, except those specifically intended for the public (Principle of mediation completed) (Application controls)

ANSWER: All API's endpoints are restricted in access, with rare exceptions. To be able to consume them, it is necessary to send the access token and it must be valid and not expired. In addition, there are endpoints that require higher permissions, such as those in the administrative area. Therefore, if the token does not have such permissions, access to services is denied.


Does the organization have mechanism controls in place to ensure that issues related to session management are addressed in the software developed?

ANSWER: The application allows the user's session to be active for 24 hours. If the browser is closed, the user's session is ended and the user will have to log in again. In the app, the operation is similar. When the user's session expires or he logs out of the platform, all data related to the user's session is also finalized and a new authentication will be necessary to access the platform.


Does the organization have mechanisms / controls to ensure that the developed application does not issue error messages or stack traces containing sensitive data that can assist an attacker, including session ID in personal information?

ANSWER: All errors in the application are logged to assist in diagnosing problems and a generic message is returned to the user, not providing any data on the architecture and / or stack trace that can be used to exploit any flaws in the application.


Does the organization have mechanism controls to ensure that the developed application has no buffer overflow failures (data overflow)?

ANSWER: The application is typed, so that only the expected values, according to the size of the data type, are accepted by the application, in order to avoid buffer overflow.


Does the organization have mechanism controls to ensure that the developed application is free from XSS (Cross Site Scripting) flaws?

ANSWER: To protect our application from XSS attacks, we have added the X-XSS-Protection header.


Does the organization have mechanism controls to ensure that the developed application accepts only a defined set of HTTP request methods, such as GET and POST, and that unused methods are explicitly blocked?

ANSWER: Yes, only the GET, POST, PUT, PATCH, DELETE and OPTIONS request methods are accepted. Otherwise, they are blocked by our API.


Does the organization have mechanism controls to ensure that the developed application restricts file uploads with a dangerous type?

ANSWER: On screens where users can send files, only those whose extensions and formats are informed that uploads are allowed. Otherwise, the upload is blocked.


Does the organization perform a source code review before the developed software is delivered to the customer?

ANSWER: The development code is always subjected to a review by Senior Analysts before going into production.


Does the organization conduct comprehensive penetration tests of the developed application?

ANSWER: Vulnerability tests are performed using the Site Blindado tool.


Does the organization have mechanisms / controls in place to ensure that the application developed has controls with the respective Access Controls, for example, users can only access protected functions, URLs or services for which they have specific authorization?

ANSWER: In addition to being authenticated on the platform, the user must have authorization to access certain resources, either through the application or through APIs, otherwise access to the resources is denied by the application to the user.


Does the organization have mechanism controls to ensure that the developed application has cryptographic controls during presentation and storage?

ANSWER: Although the bank's data is not encrypted, only the technician responsible for the product has access to the production environment;

Only the user's password is stored in the form of an SHA2_256 hash;

All data transmission in the application is done under the HTTPS protocol.


1.2. Cybersecurity architecture and design


Applications must be developed in accordance with best security practices such as OWASP, NIST, among others. Adopting these recommendations is likely to reduce the most common application vulnerabilities, such as:

A1 - Code Injection

A2 - Breach of Authentication and Session Management

A3 - Cross-Site Scripting (XSS)

A4 - Direct References to Objects in an Insecure manner

A5 - Insecure Settings

A6 - Exposure of Sensitive Data

A7 - Absence of Access Control Function

A8- Forged Request between Sites (CSRF)

A9 - Use of Components with Known Vulnerabilities A10 - Routes and Redirects without Validation

ANSWER:

We follow a practice called Clean Code, which consists that the code itself needs to be self-documented, that is, the name of variables, methods, classes, etc. they need to say clearly and objectively what they mean, so that the programmer doesn't waste time interpreting what the code in question does.

The application is shielded against SQL Injection, since queries are handled via Entity Framework and Stored Procedures;

The connections to the database are always closed in the finally block of the try / catch blocks, so that even if an error occurs in the application, the connection is closed;

Application cookies are stored with the attributes Secure and HTTP Only, to prevent attacks via malicious Javascript and / or software that tries to intercept the cookies recorded in the user's browser. This information is documented in releases released via GitHub;

The user's password is saved in the system database in the form of a hash with the SHA2-256 algorithm;

The platform has log mechanisms such as user access, errors and actions on screens on the platform.

We use GitHub for version control of the applications we develop;

We use the SCRUM methodology to manage the activities developed by each team member, what the deadlines are, what was done in each release, etc. - Trello assists us in the implementation of Scrum in the company.

We use DDD (Domain Driven Design) architecture in our project. All of our subsystems consume the services of a REST API where all the business rules of the application are found.

Our application has an application with support for Android and iOS systems.


2. Access Management


2.1. Password Policy


Is it necessary to change the password at the first login?

ANSWER: Yes. The administrator has, through the administrative area, autonomy to enable or disable the password change at the first access.

Is a password change required every 60 days?

ANSWER: Yes, the periodicity can be set up or down, if necessary, by the administrator himself through the administrative area of the platform.

Is the user blocked after 5 invalid login attempts?

ANSWER: Currently, this limit on the platform is 6 attempts, which can be reduced by the administrator, through the administrative area.

Is the user blocked after 60 days of no use?

ANSWER: This process can be done manually, through the administrative area or by spreadsheet, or automatically, through API.

How does it happen to unblock a user blocked by incorrect attempts? (Ans: Automatic or Manual)?

ANSWER: The lock is performed automatically by the platform, for a period of 30 minutes until it is automatically unlocked. 

However, the administrator can also unblock the user manually through the administrative area

Are access to profiles revoked and access is disabled after 180 days without use?

ANSWER: This process can be done manually (through the administrative area or by spreadsheet) or automatic (through API)


Is there a lock so that the same password cannot be reused within the period of 1 year?

ANSWER: During the password change process, the user needs to enter a password different from the 10 previous passwords, otherwise, the platform does not allow the change.

Does the tool require a minimum password length of 8 characters?


ANSWER: During the password change process, in addition to the password having a minimum of 8 characters, the user must provide letters, numbers and special characters.

Does the system require the password to be strong and contain a combination of at least (3) three of the following characters: uppercase letters, lowercase letters, numbers, characters?


ANSWER: During the password change process, in addition to the password having a minimum of 8 characters, the user must provide letters, numbers and special characters.

The company has documented password management procedures, including:

- Minimum number of characters and password complexity;

- Cryptographic structure that is used to protect passwords (for example, hash functions)

- Session time, use of multi-factor authentication


ANSWER: The procedure is not formally documented, but the business rules of the application, referring to the password management policy are:

They must have at least 8 characters made up of uppercase or lowercase letters, numbers and special characters;

They must be different from the last 10 previous passwords, otherwise, the platform does not allow the change;

The application stores the user's password in the form of an SHA2-256 hash;

The session time is 24 hours. If the user closes the browser, the session is ended and the user will have to log in again.

Multifactor authentication is not currently supported by the platform. Local authentication only, with username and password.


Is it possible to customize the access model on the platform?

ANSWER: Yes. The administrator has the autonomy to create customized profiles, with reduced privileges and assigning these profiles to users.


Does the solution support the implementation of Single Sign-On for authentication and authorization?

ANSWER: The platform supports SSO for authentication only. The access to the platform functionalities is released through the access profiles, with their respective roles, created directly on the platform.


If full integration of Single Sign-On is not possible, what other interface to automate access provisioning is supported?

ANSWER: This automation is possible, leaving the profiles, with their respective roles, previously created on the platform and developing a customized integration for the client following their respective rules for assigning the profile to the user, after the SSO, according to the appropriate level of privileges that the user should have.


Does the company provide a pre-production environment for its customers?

ANSWER: Yes. The environment available for testing by the customer is: https://test.engage.bz.

ANSWER: We currently have no policy in place in this regard.


Does the company run the Bug Bounty or Responsible Disclosure program, which allows it to continuously identify vulnerabilities in its applications? Provide a brief description of the program.

ANSWER: Our customers are advised to report any incidents on the platform, be it bugs, usability problems, navigation or incidents related to information security on our official channel meajuda@engage.bz. By sending the incident to this address, a call is automatically opened to our support team who will take care of responding to the request and activate the IT team whenever necessary to resolve the problem.


Does the platform support authentication integrated with the Microsoft Active Directory service?

ANSWER: Only authentication with AD is supported, while the authorization process is done directly by the platform, through the administrative area, informing the user's access profiles.


Does the platform allow for a single sign-on strategy with the Active Directory structure?

ANSWER: The platform allows the user to authenticate to the platform with Active Directory credentials - informing their username and password.


Does the platform allow you to change the names and passwords of the standard administration accounts for the tool?

ANSWER: Standard platform data cannot be edited even by the administrative area

   


2.2. Function Segregation


Is there function segregation?

ANSWER: There are two standard profiles on the platform: the Player and the Administrator, described below:

Player: It is the end users who will participate in the missions of each of the tracks in a competition, since they are not allowed to edit other users and / or manage competitions

Administrator: He is responsible for managing all the resources of the platform - users, competitions, trails and missions. This profile even allows the creation of other profiles with more restricted access permissions.

Custom Profiles: The administrator has the autonomy to create customized profiles with reduced privileges or not, according to their needs.


Is there a unique profile for user management?

ANSWER: To manage users, it is necessary to access the administrative area with a profile that has the "User Management" permission


Is there an exclusive profile for password reset and user unlock?

ANSWER: To manage users, it is necessary to access the administrative area with a profile that has the permission of "User Management


In Engage's multitenant environment, how is the separation between the different customers guaranteed?

ANSWER: The platform, both in the application and in the database, is shared among all customers. Segregation in the application is done through a parameter that we call customerId, that is, all entities in the database have this parameter that are used to filter the customer's environment, preventing unauthorized access between the various customers that Engage It has.
