Security

Built for the
highest stakes.

We move money in healthcare, real estate, law, and government — industries where a single security failure can end a company or a career. Our security posture is designed accordingly.

How we protect you

Six pillars of sovereign security

🔐
Encryption everywhere
All data — at rest and in motion — is protected with bank-grade encryption. Encryption keys are managed independently, rotated automatically, and never stored alongside the data they protect.
🛡️
Every access is verified
No user, system, or service is trusted by default. Every request must prove its identity before access is granted. There are no open back doors. Every action is authenticated and logged.
⛓️
A record that cannot be changed
Every settlement event creates a permanent record that is linked to every event before and after it. Any attempt to alter the record is immediately detectable. Admissible in any court proceedings.
🔒
Credentials stay sovereign
No sensitive credentials exist in our application code or any configuration file. They are accessed only when needed, with every access logged. Compromise of one system cannot expose another.
🌐
Dedicated, private infrastructure
All Shteg operations run within a single, dedicated private environment. Your data is not processed on shared platforms or passed through third-party services for core operations.
🔃
Payments cannot be duplicated
Every settlement carries a unique tracking reference. The system detects and blocks any attempt to process the same transaction twice — no matter how many times a request is submitted.
Our approach

Security as architecture

Security at Shteg is not a feature we added — it's the shape the platform was built into. Every design decision exists because of a threat model, not despite one.

01

Verified before valued

No dollar moves until every party in a transaction has confirmed their identity. Verification is not optional — it is the entry point for everything that follows.

02

Simultaneous or nothing

Assets and funds transfer at the same moment, or the transaction does not complete. The window where one party has paid and the other hasn't — the fraud window — does not exist on Shteg.

03

Records that survive disputes

Every transaction produces a tamperproof, timestamped, permanently-sealed record. Designed from day one to hold up in court, in arbitration, and in regulatory review.

04

When uncertain, we stop

When something is unclear — identity, authorization, the source of funds — Shteg pauses and asks rather than proceeding and hoping. Every ambiguity defaults to hold, not release.

What we protect against

Threats we eliminate

Wire fraud

All payment instructions are locked and verified before they move. No outside party can intercept or alter a payment once it has entered our system.

Duplicate payments

Our system tracks every transaction with a unique reference. A payment cannot be processed twice, regardless of how many times a request is submitted.

Credential theft

No sensitive access credentials exist in our application code. They are accessed only when required, never recorded in logs, and every use is tracked.

Data exposure

Health and financial data is processed within a closed, compliant environment. It is not shared with external services, third-party AI tools, or public infrastructure.

Regulatory standards

Compliant with the frameworks that matter

Shteg is built to meet the regulatory requirements of every industry we serve. Compliance is enforced at the transaction level — not checked after the fact.

HIPAA
AML / BSA
Federal Instant Payment Network
NACHA
FINRA
Remote Online Notarization
eRecording Standards
OFAC Screening
SOC 2 (in progress)
CCPA / GDPR-ready

The Shteg zero-fraud promise

On every transaction settled through Shteg, the window in which one party has transferred value and the other has not is zero milliseconds. That is not a feature. It is the definition of how Shteg works.
