Data Security Standards MNCs Expect from Software Vendors

Security-First Software Engineering

A single security vulnerability can cause catastrophic financial and reputational damage to enterprise software platforms. Enterprise clients demand strict compliance with security protocols before signing software contracts.

To see how Indian privacy regulations impact software compliance, read our report on How MNCs Are Adapting to India's DPDP Act.


Core Standards: AES-256, OAuth 2.0 & Role-Based Access

Key security protocols required by multinational enterprise auditors:

  • Data Encryption: AES-256 encryption at rest and TLS 1.3 in transit.
  • Secure Authentication: OAuth 2.0 with Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) and JWT session validation.
  • OWASP Top 10 Compliance: Automated SAST and DAST penetration testing before every production release.
