Security Policy

Last updated: February 2026

Our Commitment

At Underwood K9, we take the security of your personal information seriously. This policy outlines the measures we use to protect your data, and how to responsibly report a security concern.

Security Measures

We implement the following safeguards to protect your data:

  • Encryption in Transit: All connections use HTTPS/TLS. Unencrypted HTTP requests are automatically upgraded.
  • Password Security: Passwords are salted and hashed with bcrypt. We never store or log plaintext passwords.
  • Two-Factor Authentication: Email-based 2FA is available for all user accounts and required for admin access.
  • Rate Limiting: Login attempts, contact form submissions, and sensitive actions are rate-limited per IP and per account to prevent brute-force and spam attacks.
  • Input Validation: All user inputs are validated server-side with Zod schemas and HTML-escaped before rendering to prevent injection attacks.
  • Role-Based Access Control: Admin-only routes and actions are enforced both in middleware and at the server action level.
  • Content Security Policy: Strict CSP headers limit which scripts, frames, and resources can load, reducing cross-site scripting risk.
  • Payment Security: All payment data is handled by Stripe (PCI-DSS Level 1 compliant). We never receive or store your full card number.
  • Bot Protection: Contact and booking forms are guarded by Cloudflare Turnstile, honeypot fields, and timing-based checks.
