Best Practices for Project Setup
Tips to optimize your Cipherion project configuration

Security Configuration

  • • Always enable audit logging for compliance and monitoring
  • • Use the most restrictive access controls that still allow your application to function
  • • Regularly review and update your security policies

Data Classification

  • • Start with a conservative approach—you can always relax restrictions later
  • • Clearly document what data types are included in each classification
  • • Consider future data types your application might handle
What Next?

Now that your project is created, proceed to generate API keys to start integrating Cipherion with your applications.
