About Frugal Scientific
ISO/IEC 27001 is an internationally recognized standard for establishing, implementing, maintaining and continually improving an Information Security Management System (ISMS).For Frugal Scientific, information security is particularly important because we work with enterprise applications, FinTech platforms, customer data, APIs, cloud infrastructure and AI-enabled systems.
Yes. Security is considered throughout the product engineering lifecycle, including architecture, development, testing, deployment and ongoing maintenance.
For enterprise applications, security considerations can include:Secure architectureIdentity and access managementAuthentication and authorizationData protectionEncryptionAPI securitySecrets managementSecure codingLogging and monitoringVulnerability managementBackup and recoverySecurity reviews
No. Frugal Scientific does not provide Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing (VAPT) as a standalone service.
Where required, customers can engage an appropriately qualified independent security/VAPT provider. Frugal Scientific can, however, incorporate secure engineering practices and address identified security findings as part of a broader product engineering or application development engagement.
Yes. Frugal Scientific has domain experience in FinTech and builds high-security transactional and financial technology systems. Compliance requirements are considered as part of solution architecture and product engineering, based on the customer's regulatory environment and applicable requirements.
However, Frugal Scientific does not act as a regulatory authority or compliance certification body. The customer remains responsible for determining the regulatory obligations applicable to its business.
Yes. Frugal Scientific can engineer technology platforms for banks, NBFCs, FinTech companies and other financial-services organizations, taking applicable security, privacy, auditability, data-management and regulatory requirements into consideration.
The exact compliance architecture should be established based on the customer's specific RBI-regulated activity and applicable regulatory requirements.
Yes. Where an application processes personal data in India, Frugal Scientific incorporate privacy and data-protection requirements into the product architecture and engineering process.
This may include:Data classificationAccess controlData minimizationConsent/privacy workflows where applicableData retentionAudit trailsEncryptionSecure APIsData deletion workflowsPrivacy-aware system architecture
The exact implementation depends on the customer's role, data-processing activities and applicable legal requirements.
Frugal Scientific design and engineer applications and cloud environments with controls that support a customer's SOC 2 requirements. However, SOC 2 attestation is performed by an independent qualified auditor, and Frugal Scientific should not represent itself as a SOC 2 auditor unless separately certified/authorized to do so.
No. Frugal Scientific is a technology and product engineering company, not a statutory, regulatory or certification authority.We help organizations design and implement technology systems that support applicable security and compliance requirements, while formal certifications, attestations and regulatory approvals are performed by the relevant independent authorities or certification bodies.
Frugal Scientific applies security controls appropriate to the nature of the engagement. Depending on the solution, these can include:
EncryptionIAM and role-based access controlSecure API architectureNetwork isolationSecure cloud configurationsLogging and monitoringBackup and disaster recoveryAccess managementSecure development practices
The company's website also publishes a privacy policy describing its approach to handling information collected through its website.
Yes. Data residency and data-location requirements can be incorporated into the solution architecture based on the customer's regulatory, contractual and business requirements.
For example, an application can be architected to keep databases, object storage, backups and other relevant workloads within specified cloud regions where technically and legally required.
Yes. Audit logging can be incorporated into enterprise applications to capture important activities such as:
User login/logoutData creation/modificationApproval/rejectionWorkflow transitionsFinancial transactionsAdministrative changesAPI activitySecurity events
The exact audit requirements are defined during product and solution architecture.
Yes. AI applications can be designed with appropriate controls around:
Data accessModel accessPrompt/data isolationPII handlingRAG data securityAuthentication and authorizationModel/API accessLoggingAI-generated contentData retention
This is particularly important for enterprise GenAI applications that process confidential or regulated information.
