Security & Compliance

How Stepwise Manufacturing Corp protects customer data and operates secure, reliable software platforms.

At Stepwise Manufacturing Corp (“Stepwise”), security and reliability are foundational to the systems we build. Our platforms support operational workflows, business data, and identity-related processes, and we take that responsibility seriously.

Security Philosophy

Stepwise designs systems with security built in from the start. Rather than treating security as an afterthought, we apply pragmatic controls that align with real-world business use while maintaining strong safeguards around data access and integrity.

Infrastructure & Hosting

Stepwise platforms are deployed using modern cloud infrastructure provided by established cloud service providers. These providers maintain industry-standard physical and network security controls across their data centers.

Hosting environments are configured using best practices for network isolation, access control, and system monitoring.

Data Protection

  • Encrypted communications using HTTPS/TLS
  • Role-based access controls within applications
  • Logical separation of customer data
  • Restricted access to production systems

User Access & Authentication

Access to Stepwise systems is controlled through authenticated user accounts with permissions aligned to defined roles and responsibilities. Administrative access is limited to authorized personnel.

Operational Monitoring

Stepwise monitors system health and availability to ensure platform stability. Logging and monitoring are used to identify issues, support troubleshooting, and maintain operational reliability.

Compliance Approach

While Stepwise is not currently certified under specific compliance frameworks (such as SOC 2 or ISO 27001), our systems and internal practices are designed to align with many of the underlying principles of these standards.

As customer needs evolve, Stepwise evaluates formal compliance programs and documentation as appropriate.

Customer Responsibilities

Customers are responsible for managing access to their accounts, safeguarding credentials, and ensuring that users comply with internal security policies.

Security Inquiries

Customers or partners with security-related questions or requirements are encouraged to contact Stepwise directly. We are happy to discuss security practices in the context of specific use cases or contractual requirements.
