Databunker Pro Architecture Overview

Why Choose Databunker Pro?

In today’s digital landscape, protecting sensitive customer data isn’t just about compliance—it’s about building trust and maintaining your organization’s reputation. Databunker Pro stands out as a comprehensive solution that goes beyond traditional database encryption approaches. Here’s what makes it special:

• Advanced Encryption Architecture: We’ve implemented a sophisticated two-layer encryption system. At its core, Databunker Pro uses a master key for data encryption, which is further secured by a wrapping key. This wrapping key can be rotated regularly through our API, providing an additional security layer without the complexity of re-encrypting all your data. For disaster recovery, we use Shamir’s Secret Sharing algorithm to split the wrapping key backup into recoverable parts.

• True Data Pseudonymization: Unlike traditional databases that store sensitive data in plain text or with basic encryption, Databunker Pro implements true pseudonymization. We create a secure hash-based search index for emails, phone numbers, and login names, while the actual data remains encrypted. This approach aligns perfectly with GDPR’s pseudonymization requirements and helps you maintain compliance without sacrificing functionality.

• Built-in Privacy Controls: Privacy regulations like GDPR and CPRA aren’t just checkboxes to tick—they’re ongoing commitments. That’s why we’ve built comprehensive privacy features directly into Databunker Pro. From consent management to audit trails and data minimization capabilities, everything you need is available out of the box.

• Enterprise-Ready Scalability: Modern applications need to scale, and Databunker Pro is designed with this in mind. Our stateless application server architecture supports horizontal scaling in Kubernetes environments, making it easy to grow with your business needs.

• Multi-Tenant Security: For organizations managing data for multiple clients or divisions, we leverage PostgreSQL’s row-level security to ensure true data isolation. Each tenant’s data remains completely separated, reducing the risk of accidental data exposure.

• Comprehensive Integration Support: We understand that no solution works in isolation. That’s why we provide built-in connectors for major cloud services and databases including HubSpot, MailChimp, Salesforce, MySQL, PostgreSQL, Oracle, and SQL Server.

Core Architecture Components

Let’s dive into how Databunker Pro is built and how each component works together to protect your data:

Data Storage Layer

The foundation of our system is built on a robust PostgreSQL backend, chosen for its enterprise-grade reliability and security features:

• All database connections are secured with SSL encryption
• Multi-tenant isolation is enforced through row-level security
• Compatible with AWS Aurora PostgreSQL for auto-scaling needs
• Data is stored as encrypted JSON objects, providing schema flexibility while maintaining security

Security Layer

Security isn’t an afterthought—it’s woven into every aspect of Databunker Pro:

• All sensitive data is encrypted using AES-256
• Search functionality is maintained through our secure hash-based indexing system
• A two-tier key management system with master key and wrapping key
• Wrapping key rotation capability via API
• Key backup protection using Shamir’s Secret Sharing algorithm
• Token-based API access control for secure operations

Privacy Management Layer

Modern privacy requirements need modern solutions. Our privacy management layer includes:

• A comprehensive DPO portal for privacy oversight
• Built-in consent management system
• Detailed audit logging of all operations
• One-click personal data report generation
• Processing operations repository for compliance documentation

Security Architecture Deep Dive

Security is at the heart of Databunker Pro. Here’s how we protect your data at every level:

Data Protection Mechanisms

Your data is protected both in transit and at rest through multiple security layers:

1. In-Transit Protection We ensure all data in motion is secured through mandatory SSL encryption for API communications and database connections. This prevents man-in-the-middle attacks and data interception.

2. At-Rest Protection Data at rest is protected through multiple mechanisms:

   • AES-256 encryption for all personal data
   • Encrypted audit trails to protect operational data
   • Hashed search indices for secure lookups
   • Zero clear-text storage of sensitive information

3. Access Control We’ve implemented comprehensive access controls:

   • Fine-grained permission system for user access
   • Token-based API authentication
   • Multi-tenant isolation for data separation
   • Prevention of bulk data retrieval by default
