Security & Compliance
Investor protection is built into the infrastructure
Risk disclosure, suitability checks, education, portfolio monitoring, derivatives gates and a full compliance trail are built into the platform rather than added later.
Framework
Six protection pillars
Identity verification
Onboarding captures and verifies identity before an account can trade, with status visible to the operator's compliance team.
Suitability controls
Investor profiles are produced from a broker-configured assessment and determine which products are reachable.
Knowledge requirements
Derivatives access requires completing education and passing an assessment. There is no way to skip it.
Risk thresholds
Exposure, concentration and position limits are evaluated before an order is accepted and escalate through Warning, Restricted and Blocked.
Risk disclosure
Contextual disclosures appear where a decision is being made, and acknowledgements are recorded.
Full audit trail
Every sensitive action writes an append-only event with actor, role, resource and before/after state.
Regulatory posture
Working with the rules
GIGX provides technology to firms licensed by the Securities and Exchange Commission of Nigeria. The licensed operator holds the client relationship, the client funds and the regulatory permissions.
The platform is designed around that division: it produces the records, controls and reports an operator needs, and it never places GIGX in the position of a broker.
GIGX is a technology company, not a broker. It works through licensed operators and builds the platform to support their compliance responsibilities.
Platform security
How access is controlled
- Role-based permissions for investor, broker, compliance, risk and admin roles
- Authorisation enforced in server code and database policies, not in the interface
- Session management with visible device and session history
- Input validation applied on both the client and the server
- Secrets held only in server environment configuration
- Append-only audit records for sensitive actions
