Every architectural decision is designed to withstand security scrutiny, regulatory inquiry, and operational stress.
Transit encrypted via WireGuard (ChaCha20-Poly1305) and OpenVPN (AES-256-GCM). Storage encryption using AES-256. No plaintext data at rest.
Open documentation of what data is collected, how long it is retained, and under what conditions it may be disclosed. No hidden telemetry pipelines.
Architecture aligned with GDPR data minimisation principles, controlled retention schedules, and lawful processing obligations. Compliance exports available on request.
Dedicated abuse handling team. Documented terms of service with enforceable prohibitions. Accounts engaged in unlawful activity are terminated. We cooperate with valid legal process.
We do not log the content of network traffic, email body content, or communication payloads. Aggregate session metadata is retained for operational integrity per documented retention schedules.
Enterprise tenants operate within logically isolated environments. Credential scopes, routing tables, and administrative access are strictly segregated at the architectural level.
The architecture of modern digital infrastructure was not designed with privacy as a default. Every network hop, every communication layer, and every third-party integration introduces potential exposure.
Remote Workforce Exposure
Distributed teams connecting from uncontrolled networks — hotels, airports, residential ISPs — introduce interception vectors that corporate perimeter tools cannot address.
Communication Interception Risk
Unencrypted or weakly encrypted email and messaging channels remain a primary attack surface for both targeted intrusion and passive surveillance at the network layer.
Infrastructure Surveillance Concerns
Hyperscale cloud providers and consumer-grade tooling operate data monetisation models fundamentally misaligned with enterprise privacy requirements.
Regulatory Compliance Pressure
GDPR, NIS2, and sector-specific regulations impose data governance obligations that require demonstrable technical controls — not just policy documents.
CipherVPN delivers a unified privacy infrastructure stack, combining encrypted network transport with secure communications in a single governance framework.
Data Minimisation by Design
Our architectural principle: collect the minimum data needed for service delivery. No behavioural profiling, no advertising data pipelines, no resale of operational data to third parties. Retention schedules are documented, bounded, and enforced.
Controls, visibility, and governance tooling designed for IT security teams, compliance officers, and operational administrators.
Security is not a feature added to CipherVPN — it is the structural constraint around which the entire platform is engineered.
SLA Target
Measured uptime availability across all platform tiers
Redundancy Model
Redundant infrastructure with automatic failover routing
Infrastructure Monitoring
Continuous observability with automated anomaly detection
Incident Response
Documented response workflow with communication SLAs
Legal & Professional Services
Client communication confidentiality
Law firms, accounting practices, and consultancies managing privilege-sensitive communications require infrastructure that enforces confidentiality by design, not by policy alone.
Financial & Regulated Industries
Compliance-aligned data handling
Financial institutions, fintechs, and regulated entities require communications infrastructure with demonstrable technical controls, audit trails, and compliance export capabilities.
Technology & SaaS Companies
Distributed workforce access control
Engineering and product teams operating globally across uncontrolled network environments need encrypted access infrastructure with centralised policy enforcement and audit visibility.
Media & Research Organisations
Source protection & operational security
Investigative journalism units, think tanks, and academic research organisations managing sensitive communications require encrypted infrastructure that does not expose operational metadata.
Healthcare & Life Sciences
Patient data sovereignty
Healthcare providers and life sciences organisations managing patient-adjacent data require communications infrastructure with robust access controls and retention governance aligned to regulatory obligations.
Government & Public Sector
Sensitive channel protection
Public sector bodies and government-adjacent organisations managing sensitive operational communications require infrastructure with documented security architecture and lawful compliance transparency.
CipherVPN is not a consumer VPN with an enterprise pricing tier. It is privacy infrastructure designed from the ground up for organisational control and governance accountability.
Consumer-First
Proton
Strong privacy brand and technical credibility. Primarily consumer and prosumer focused. Limited enterprise governance tooling and administrative control depth.
Consumer VPN Brand
NordVPN
High consumer brand recognition and global server distribution. Marketing-led positioning. Limited administrative governance, audit tooling, and compliance architecture for regulated environments.
Anonymity Network
Tor Project
Decentralised anonymity routing. Not a managed enterprise platform. No administrative controls, SLA guarantees, compliance exports, or audit trails. Incompatible with enterprise governance requirements.
Platform Declaration
CipherVPN is not a hype privacy startup. It is not a consumer VPN with a business tier. It is not a darknet tool.
CipherVPN is privacy infrastructure — secure by design, transparent by architecture, and governance-ready by intent. Built for organisations that treat privacy as an operational discipline, not a marketing claim.
We do not obscure our legal obligations. CipherVPN operates in accordance with applicable law and cooperates with lawful legal process. We are not a tool designed to obstruct legal authority.
Lawful Process Response
We respond to valid legal orders from competent jurisdictional authorities. We publish transparency information about the categories of requests we receive where legally permissible.
What We Can Provide
In response to valid legal orders: account registration metadata and session connection records per documented retention schedules. We cannot provide traffic content because we do not retain it.
Terms Enforcement
Accounts found to be engaged in unlawful activity, abuse, or terms violations are subject to suspension and termination. We maintain an active abuse response process.
Privacy Documentation
Our Privacy Policy, Terms of Service, and Data Retention Schedule are published in full. We do not maintain private data handling policies that differ from our public representations.
