Data encryption and key management
All data at rest and in transit is encrypted using AES‑256, with customer‑controlled key management options that let you store keys on‑premise, in a hardware security module, or via Armor's managed key service.
Compliance automation
Armor maps security controls to standards such as PCI DSS, HIPAA, and GDPR, generating audit‑ready reports and automating evidence collection to reduce the manual workload for compliance teams.
Threat detection and response
Continuous monitoring leverages behavioral analytics and threat intelligence feeds to spot anomalies, while integrated Security Orchestration, Automation and Response (SOAR) playbooks enable rapid containment and remediation.
Scalable architecture
The service is built on a multi‑tenant, container‑native infrastructure that auto‑scales with demand, ensuring consistent security posture even during traffic spikes or disaster recovery scenarios.
Pricing and service tiers
Armor offers three primary tiers—Essentials, Professional, and Enterprise—each adding more granular policy control, dedicated support, and advanced analytics.
