Security isn’t just a feature—it’s the foundation of everything we build. At Phemex, we embed protection into every stage of development and internal operations, ensuring that the platform you trust is built on a foundation of rigorous standards and controls. This internal discipline is what allows us to deliver a reliable, secure trading environment day after day.
Our Development & Internal Security framework is designed with one goal: to integrate security seamlessly into code, devices, and access—safeguarding your assets from the ground up. Every policy, tool, and procedure is carefully aligned to prevent vulnerabilities before they can impact users.
Secure Development Lifecycle (SDLC)
Phemex follows a Secure Development Lifecycle where security is part of every phase, from initial planning to final deployment. No feature goes live without thorough checks. This structured approach ensures that potential risks are identified and addressed long before code reaches production.
All code undergoes review by experienced developers before release. Automated scans using SAST (static application security testing), DAST (dynamic application security testing), and SCA (software composition analysis) tools run continuously to detect issues early. These tools scan for common weaknesses, runtime flaws, and third-party library risks.
Developers adhere to internal secure coding standards that align with industry best practices, such as OWASP guidelines. Regular training reinforces these standards, keeping the team updated on evolving threats and secure coding techniques. This disciplined process minimizes risks and ensures every update strengthens platform reliability and resilience.
Endpoint Protection
Every employee device at Phemex is centrally managed under unified endpoint systems. Access is granted only to devices that meet strict security requirements, creating a consistent and enforceable baseline.
These requirements include:
- 
Full-disk encryption to protect data at rest
 - 
Up-to-date operating systems and applications to close known exploits
 - 
Approved antivirus software with real-time scanning
 
Bitdefender XDR provides continuous monitoring across all endpoints. It collects behavioral data, detects anomalies, and responds automatically. If a device shows signs of compromise—such as unusual network activity or malware signatures—it is immediately isolated to prevent any spread of threats.
Centralized control and real-time response keep internal systems—and by extension, user data—secure, even in the face of targeted or opportunistic attacks.
Access Control & Background Checks
Security begins with people. Every Phemex employee undergoes comprehensive background checks during the hiring process to verify trustworthiness and qualifications. This step is non-negotiable and part of our commitment to operational integrity.
Once onboard, access follows the least-privilege principle: users get only the permissions needed for their role, nothing more. Multi-factor authentication is required for all sensitive systems. Privileges are reviewed regularly and updated immediately when responsibilities change or employment ends—ensuring no lingering access remains.
This strict governance reduces insider risk and ensures accountability at every level, from junior staff to senior leadership.
Security is an ongoing commitment. Phemex builds safely—embedding checks in code, securing every device, and controlling access—so you can trade with assurance.
Strength from Within
While no system is entirely risk-free, Phemex’s development and internal security practices ensure that user protection remains the top priority. From secure coding to endpoint isolation and granular access controls, our team works tirelessly to maintain integrity behind the scenes.
With structured development processes, protected internal systems, and verified personnel, Phemex delivers a platform engineered and operated with security at its core.
