Enterprise Calculator Security: A Deep Dive

Last year, a Fortune 500 company suffered a devastating breach. The attackers didn't target their customer database or financial systems. They targeted something far more valuable: their calculator history.

We can't name the company (NDA), but we can tell you this: they weren't using calc.company.

Threat Modeling for 2+2

Every calculation is an attack surface. Consider a simple addition: 2 + 2 = 4. From a security perspective, this operation involves:

• Input validation: Are those really 2s? Could they be SQL injection?
• Operator verification: Is that "+" authenticated?
• Result integrity: How do we know the 4 hasn't been tampered with?
• Data exfiltration: Where is this equation going after you close the browser?

At calc.company, we assume every calculation is hostile until proven otherwise. That's not paranoia — that's security.

Why Your Calculations Need Encryption at Rest

Picture this: You calculate your company's quarterly revenue projections. You close your laptop and go home. But that calculation? It's still sitting on a server somewhere, naked and unencrypted.

Any competent attacker could access those numbers. They'd know your projections. They could short your stock. They could tell your competitors. They could post it on Reddit.

calc.company encrypts all calculations with AES-256 encryption at rest. Your 2+2 is as secure as a nuclear launch code. (Actually, it's more secure — nuclear codes don't use AES-256.)

The Case for Calculator Penetration Testing

When did you last pentest your calculator? Never? That's what we thought.

At calc.company, we run continuous penetration testing on our arithmetic operations. Our red team has tried everything:

• Injecting malicious operands
• Man-in-the-middle attacks on the equals sign
• Cross-site calculation forgery (CSCF)
• Denial-of-service via infinite decimals

Every vulnerability we find makes our platform stronger. We've patched over 47 calculation-related CVEs this year alone. (We can't tell you what they were. That would be a security risk.)

SOC2 Compliance for Arithmetic Operations

SOC2 isn't just a certification — it's a mindset. It means we have documented processes for every mathematical operation. It means our addition has an audit trail. It means our division has access controls.

When your auditors ask "How do you ensure the integrity of your calculations?", you need an answer better than "We use the iPhone calculator."

calc.company Enterprise comes with:

• SOC2 Type II report (available for $499)
• SSO/SAML integration (+$2,999/year)
• Custom data residency requirements
• Dedicated security contact
• Calculation insurance up to $1M

Zero Trust Arithmetic

We've implemented Zero Trust architecture across our entire calculation pipeline. This means:

• Every digit is verified before processing
• Every operator requires authentication
• Every result is signed cryptographically
• Nothing is trusted — not even the numbers themselves

In a world where you can't trust anything, you can trust calc.company to not trust anything for you.
