(b) Technical measures
- Encryption in transit using TLS 1.3 (HTTPS), certificate pinning on mobile clients, and secure WebSocket (WSS) for real-time features.
- Encryption at rest for databases (AES-256), backups (AES-256), and object storage (SSE-S3, SSE-KMS).
- Segmented network architecture (VPCs, subnet isolation, zero-trust micro-segmentation).
- Anti-cheat engine employing kernel-level driver monitoring (where permitted by platform policy), behavioral analysis, and heuristic detection.
- Data-loss-prevention (DLP) rules to block unauthorized uploads or emails containing personal data.
- Secure software-development lifecycle (SSDLC) including static analysis, dynamic analysis, dependency scanning, and mandatory code review.

(c) Physical measures
- Tier-III or higher colocation data centers with 24/7 guards, CCTV, biometric access, and mantraps.
- Hardware security modules (HSMs) for cryptographic key storage.
- Redundant power, fire-suppression, and environmental controls per ASHRAE guidelines.
