Stripe Integration Security Monitoring

​

Overview

​

Security Event Categories

​

Event Types

• STRIPE_SYNC_STARTED: Synchronization process initiated
• STRIPE_SYNC_COMPLETED: Synchronization completed successfully
• STRIPE_SYNC_FAILED: Synchronization failed with errors
• STRIPE_CONNECTION_ESTABLISHED: New Stripe account connected
• STRIPE_CONNECTION_REMOVED: Stripe account disconnected
• STRIPE_TOKEN_REFRESH: Access token refreshed
• AUTHENTICATION_FAILURE: Authentication errors
• PERMISSION_DENIED: Authorization failures
• RATE_LIMIT_EXCEEDED: API rate limits hit
• MANUAL_ALERT_GENERATED: Manual security alerts

​

Risk Levels

• LOW: Normal operations, successful syncs
• MEDIUM: Partial failures, warnings, retryable errors
• HIGH: Authentication failures, permission denials
• CRITICAL: System-wide failures, security breaches

​

Categories

• integration: Stripe API interactions
• authentication: Login and token management
• authorization: Permission checks
• data_access: Data retrieval and modification
• system: Internal system events
• compliance: Regulatory and audit events

​

​

Implementation Details

​

Security Event Logging

await logSecurityEvent(convex, {
  organizationId,
  eventType: 'STRIPE_SYNC_STARTED',
  category: 'integration',
  riskLevel: 'low',
  source: 'system',
  resource: stripeAccountId,
  action: 'sync_invoices',
  success: true,
  metadata: { syncType: 'invoices', batchSize: 100 }
});

​

Error Categorization

• Rate limit errors → HIGH risk
• Authentication errors → HIGH risk
• Network errors → MEDIUM risk
• Validation errors → LOW risk

​

Circuit Breaker Protection

• Failure threshold: 5 failures in 60 seconds
• Recovery timeout: 30 seconds
• Half-open max calls: 3
• Success threshold: 2 consecutive successes

​

Best Practices

​

Event Logging

1. Log all significant operations
2. Include relevant context and metadata
3. Use appropriate risk levels
4. Avoid logging sensitive data

​

Monitoring

1. Set up alerts for high-risk events
2. Monitor failure rates and patterns
3. Review suspicious activity regularly
4. Maintain audit trails

​

Incident Response

1. Use security events for forensic analysis
2. Correlate events across systems
3. Generate compliance reports
4. Implement automated responses

​

Configuration

​

Environment Variables

• SECURITY_LOG_LEVEL: Minimum log level (default: ‘low’)
• ALERT_THRESHOLD: Alert generation threshold
• RETENTION_DAYS: Event retention period (default: 90 days)

​

Monitoring Intervals

• Real-time event logging
• Hourly suspicious activity detection
• Daily compliance reporting
• Weekly security reviews

​

Troubleshooting

​

Common Issues

1. High event volume: Adjust log levels and retention
2. False positives: Tune detection algorithms
3. Performance impact: Optimize database queries
4. Alert fatigue: Refine alert criteria

​

Debugging

1. Check security event logs
2. Review circuit breaker status
3. Analyze error patterns
4. Monitor system performance

​
