Hyper-connected enterprise environments, business process automation (BPA) systems are not just about efficiency — they are about trust, governance, and security. As organizations handle increasingly sensitive workflows, ensuring airtight protection of data, users, and system interactions is paramount. That’s why Our platform is engineered with enterprise-grade security at its core — a multi-layered defense framework built to meet compliance and risk management needs.

This article addresses the key pillars of FlowWright’s security model, showcasing how each layer is designed to prevent breaches, enforce strict controls, and ensure data integrity across the workflow lifecycle.

SSL/TLS 1.2+ – Secure Communication by Default

Our software mandates encrypted communication using Transport Layer Security (TLS) version 1.2 and above, ensuring all network transmissions between users, APIs, microservices, and systems are cryptographically protected. This is critical for preventing:

• Man-in-the-middle (MITM) attacks
• Data interception during transmission
• Session hijacking

TLS is enforced across all HTTP endpoints (REST, SOAP, WebSocket), and administrators can enable HSTS (HTTP Strict Transport Security) to enforce secure channels at the browser level. We also support certificate pinning and mutual TLS (mTLS) for high-trust environments, such as banking or healthcare.

Request/Response-Level Encryption – End-to-End Confidentiality

Beyond transport encryption, FlowWright enterprise workflow automation software provides payload-level request/response encryption — an additional safeguard that encrypts message bodies using symmetric or asymmetric keys. This is crucial in environments where:

• Data may be temporarily logged or cached by proxies
• Sensitive content needs to remain encrypted even at rest or during processing
• Fine-grained encryption control is required per workflow or endpoint

Encryption can be applied:

• Per API call using AES-256 or RSA public/private key pairs
• On workflow input/output variables
• On dynamic user inputs captured via Forms

This ensures that even if traffic is intercepted or leaked from intermediate layers, the actual business content remains unreadable without authorized decryption keys.

Secure Key Store – Centralized Secrets Management

Sensitive credentials like API keys, database strings, OAuth tokens, and encryption keys must never live in configuration files or databases. FlowWright’s Secure Key Store is a built-in secrets vault that:

• Encrypts keys at rest using platform-specific KMS (e.g., Azure Key Vault, AWS KMS, or DPAPI)
• Restricts access using RBAC scopes or service roles
• Audits all access operations for compliance

Keys can be dynamically referenced within:

• Processes (e.g., calling an external API with an encrypted token)
• Tasks (e.g., executing a SQL statement with a protected connection string)
• Webhooks (e.g., generating secure callbacks using a private signing key)

The key store abstracts secret usage from the process logic, enabling security by design and zero-trust access patterns.

RBAC – Role-Based Access Control for Operational Governance

Our software implements fine-grained Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) to ensure users only have access to the resources and actions explicitly permitted for their roles.

Key capabilities include:

• Defining roles (Admin, Designer, Operator, Viewer, etc.)
• Assigning roles to users or groups (AD integration supported)
• Scoping access down to specific:
• Processes
• Forms
• Reports
• Tenants
• Folders or document libraries

Roles can be managed via UI or API, and support custom permissions for:

• Executing vs. editing processes
• Viewing logs vs. modifying configurations
• Managing system settings vs. application content

This RBAC model ensures separation of duties and least privilege access — core tenets of secure enterprise operations.

CBAC – Claim-Based Access Control for Dynamic Authorization

While RBAC handles static permissions, Claim-Based Access Control (CBAC) empowers dynamic decision-making based on user identity attributes or contextual claims.

FlowWright supports claims issued from:

• OAuth/OpenID Connect identity providers
• SAML assertions from enterprise SSO
• Custom JWT tokens

These claims can include:

• Department, region, clearance level
• Workflow context like “requester’s location” or “project ID”

CBAC is used in:

• Form field visibility rules
• Conditional process routing
• Policy-based task approvals

For example, a user in Finance can approve invoices over $50,000, but only if located in the US region — a policy that can be enforced using claim-based rules without changing the workflow logic.

This adds a powerful contextual layer of authorization that adapts to the user and business environment in real-time.

End-Point Security – API Gatekeeping & Integration Hardening

As a workflow automation engine, FlowWright exposes many API endpoints — both for internal use and for external system integrations. These endpoints are protected via:

• Token-based authentication (OAuth 2.0 / JWT / API keys)
• CORS policies for web clients
• Rate limiting and throttling
• IP whitelisting
• Payload schema validation

Administrators can define integration policies per endpoint, specifying:

• Allowed origins and user agents
• Maximum request sizes
• Input/output sanitization

FlowWright also provides endpoint-level audit logs, enabling traceability for every call — essential for compliance frameworks like SOC 2, HIPAA, or ISO 27001.

Our teams security philosophy is “baked-in, not bolted-on.” Every component — from the engine to the designer to runtime APIs — is built with secure defaults and extensibility for enterprise-grade protection.

Security by DevOps & Continuous Assurance

In addition to runtime security, FlowWright promotes secure DevOps practices:

• Signed workflow packages – verify integrity before deployment
• Environment isolation – separate dev/stage/prod tenants
• Secrets rotation – automate periodic key updates
• Built-in compliance reports – generate user, role, and access summaries

With integration to SIEM and threat detection tools (via OpenTelemetry), enterprises can detect anomalies like:

• Unusual API activity
• Failed logins
• Elevated role changes
• High-risk process executions

This enables continuous compliance and early breach detection.

When your workflows orchestrate critical financial approvals, sensitive customer interactions, or regulated data pipelines — security isn’t optional. FlowWright provides a hardened, defense-in-depth architecture to protect your business from internal mistakes and external threats alike.
