Auroranexis is designed for agency operations with organization-scoped data, role-based access control, encrypted transport and storage, and secure billing through FastSpring. This page describes security controls available to customers — not internal platform infrastructure.
Security in Auroranexis is a shared responsibility between the platform and your agency. The platform provides organization isolation, role-based access, encryption, activity logging, and secure payment handling. Your agency controls who has access, which roles they hold, how API keys are managed, and how client portal users are provisioned.
Every workspace operates within a strict organizational boundary. Users, API keys, integrations, and portal accounts are scoped to a single organization. Cross-organization data access is not available through normal application or API operations.
This documentation covers customer-facing security controls: how data is scoped, who can access what, how credentials are handled, and how to report concerns. It does not describe internal platform administration, infrastructure topology, or vendor-specific operational details.
Purpose
Agencies manage sensitive client data — reports, incidents, risk assessments, and operational metrics. The security model ensures that internal team members see only what their role permits, client portal users access only their assigned client, and billing data never resides in application databases.
Audit trails and activity history support internal review and compliance workflows where enabled on your plan. Security controls are designed to be understandable and actionable by agency administrators without requiring specialized security tooling.
For security concerns, vulnerabilities, or suspected unauthorized access, contact security@auroranexis.com. Include reproduction steps and impact assessment without sharing live credentials or unnecessary client data in your initial report.
Core Concepts
Organization scope — all data, users, and API keys belong to a single workspace; there is no cross-tenant access.
FAQ
Is Auroranexis SOC 2 or ISO 27001 certified?
Auroranexis does not claim third-party certifications unless explicitly published for your deployment. We describe security practices and compliance readiness where applicable. Refer to your agreement and the Compliance documentation for plan-specific capabilities.
Where is payment information stored?
Payment card and bank details are stored by FastSpring, our Merchant of Record. Auroranexis does not store card numbers or CVV data in application databases.
Can staff members access billing settings?
Only workspace owners and admins with billing permissions can manage subscriptions and access FastSpring account management. Staff and viewer roles cannot modify billing settings.
How do I report a security vulnerability?
Email security@auroranexis.com with reproduction steps and impact assessment. Do not include live credentials or unnecessary client data in your report.
Are API keys retrievable after creation?
No. API keys are shown once at creation. If a key is lost, revoke it and create a new one with the same scopes.
What does compliance readiness mean?
Compliance readiness refers to plan-specific features — such as audit views, activity exports, and data handling practices — that support your internal compliance program. It does not mean Auroranexis holds a specific third-party certification on your behalf.
Need help?
Contact support@auroranexis.com for onboarding support, billing questions, or product guidance. Include your workspace name, the module you are working in, and a brief description of your goal so we can respond efficiently.
Role-based access control (RBAC) — permissions are assigned through predefined roles with optional granular adjustments.
Least privilege — users receive the minimum access needed for their responsibilities.
Encryption in transit — all web and API traffic uses TLS.
Encryption at rest — platform data stores encrypt stored data.
Audit trail — a chronological record of significant actions performed in the workspace.
Secure billing — payment details are handled entirely by FastSpring; Auroranexis never stores card numbers.
Compliance readiness — plan-specific capabilities that support your internal compliance program without implying third-party certification.
Features
Organization-scoped access
Each workspace is fully isolated — users only see data belonging to their organization.
Client portal users are scoped to a single client and cannot access internal settings, other clients, or team management.
API keys are tied to the organization that created them and carry explicit scopes.
Integrations and automation credentials are organization-specific and not shared across workspaces.
Role-based access control
Manage roles and team membership in Settings → Team. Review permissions when onboarding new staff and promptly adjust or revoke access during offboarding.
Owner — full workspace control including billing, team management, and all operational modules.
Admin — manage operations, settings, and most modules; billing access depends on assigned permissions.
Staff — day-to-day operational access for assigned clients, reports, incidents, and workflows.
Viewer — read-focused access suitable for reporting, review, and oversight roles.
Data protection
TLS encryption for all web dashboard and API communication.
Encryption at rest for platform data stores.
Industry-standard authentication flows for password handling.
Session cookies protect dashboard access; sign out on shared or public devices.
Step-by-step usage
Configure team roles
Open Settings → Team.
Invite new members with the appropriate role (Owner, Admin, Staff, or Viewer).
Review existing members and downgrade permissions where access exceeds job requirements.
Remove or deactivate accounts promptly when staff leave the agency.
Manage API key security
Open Settings → API.
Create keys with only the scopes required for each integration.
Store keys in a secrets manager — never commit them to source control.
Revoke keys immediately when integrations are decommissioned or team members with access leave.
Provision client portal users safely
From the client detail page, open portal user management.
Invite only required client contacts with portal-appropriate access.
Review portal user lists periodically and remove inactive accounts.
Confirm white-label branding does not expose internal agency information unintentionally.
Review activity and audit records
Open the Activity module or compliance audit views (if enabled on your plan).
Filter by date range, user, or action type as needed.
Investigate unexpected entries and document findings per your internal policy.
Best Practices
Enforce strong, unique passwords for all team accounts.
Follow least-privilege when assigning roles — grant write access only where needed.
Offboard team members the same day they depart; revoke API keys and integration credentials they managed.
Review team membership and portal user lists at least quarterly.
Limit client portal users to the minimum contacts required for each engagement.
Never share API keys via email, chat, or unencrypted documents.
Monitor activity history for unexpected configuration or data access patterns.
Keep billing permissions restricted to owners and designated financial administrators.
Document your internal access review process and align it with client contractual obligations.
Examples
Marketing agency
A marketing agency operating three sub-brands provisions portal users per client with white-label branding. Each portal account is scoped to a single client. The admin reviews portal user lists quarterly, removes contacts who changed roles at client organizations, and verifies no internal agency email addresses appear in client-facing portal configurations.
AI automation agency
An automation agency rotates integration credentials after a contractor offboards. The admin revokes the contractor's Staff account in Settings → Team, deletes their personal API keys in Settings → API, and updates shared secrets in Automation → Integrations → Secrets. Activity history for the final two weeks is exported before the next automation run batch executes against production clients.
MSP
An MSP with twenty-five clients hires two junior analysts who need incident visibility but not billing or API access. The admin invites them as Staff in Settings → Team, assigns them to relevant client groups, and confirms they cannot access Settings → Billing or Settings → API. Portal users for each client are limited to the client's IT director and one backup contact.
Consultancy
A small IT consultancy's client requests evidence of access controls. The owner exports activity history for the relevant date range, documents the RBAC matrix showing Owner, Admin, Staff, and Viewer assignments, and confirms billing data is handled by FastSpring without card storage in Auroranexis. The package supports the client's vendor review without claiming third-party certification on the agency's behalf.
Enterprise deployment
A multi-region MSSP admin notices SLA configuration changed without explanation during an enterprise rollout. They open Activity, filter by the settings module and the relevant date range, and identify the user and timestamp of the change. After confirming whether the change was authorized, they restore the previous configuration, document the incident per internal policy, and align regional Admin roles before expanding portal access.
Troubleshooting
Common security issues
Problem
Cause
Solution
User cannot access a module
Role or plan tier lacks the required feature permission
Verify the user's role in Settings → Team and confirm the workspace plan includes the module.
Portal user sees wrong client data
Portal account assigned to incorrect client
Confirm the portal account is linked to the correct client only; remove and re-invite if misassigned.
API key returns 401 Unauthorized
Key revoked, expired, or missing required scopes
Create a new key with appropriate scopes in Settings → API; revoke the old key.
Expected action not in activity history
Not all read operations are logged
Significant write and configuration actions are captured; verify filters and date range in Activity.
API keys are displayed only once at creation and stored as secure hashes.
Audit trails
Activity history records significant workspace actions with timestamps and actor information.
Compliance and audit views (where enabled on your plan) support structured review workflows.
Export or archive records according to your internal retention policy.
Secure billing
Payment card and bank details are collected and stored by FastSpring — not in Auroranexis databases.
Billing pages display subscription status without exposing card numbers or CVV data.
Only authorized roles can initiate checkout or access FastSpring account management.
Export records for retention if required by your compliance program.
