Controls

73 controls in place across six areas. Controls covered by our SOC 2 Type II examination were tested by Sensiba LLP.

Infrastructure security

  • Hosted on SOC 2 audited cloud providers

    Production runs on AWS, Google Cloud, Neon, Render and Vercel, which secure the physical data centers and their environments.

  • Unique accounts for production access

    Production systems, network devices and support tools can only be accessed with an individually assigned account.

  • Multi-factor authentication

    MFA is required to access sensitive systems.

  • Access approved before it is granted

    New access is approved during onboarding or by the system owner before it is provisioned.

  • Quarterly access reviews

    Access to critical systems is reviewed every quarter and adjusted where needed.

  • Network access restrictions

    Only approved communication channels and protocols can reach production systems.

  • Private networking for backend services

    Internal services and workers run on a private network with no public exposure.

  • Web application firewall and DDoS protection

    Inbound traffic passes through a firewall with rate limiting, bot detection and DDoS mitigation.

  • Intrusion detection

    AWS GuardDuty, Google Cloud Security Command Center and Render IDS monitor the environment continuously.

  • Infrastructure logging and alerting

    Web traffic and suspicious activity are logged, with automatic alerts on anomalous behavior.

  • Monitoring and escalation

    Monitoring tools notify the right people about events, and incidents are escalated according to policy.

  • Encrypted administrative sessions

    User authentication and administrative sessions are encrypted in transit.

  • Daily backups

    Production data is backed up daily, and backups are monitored for completion.

  • Point-in-time database recovery

    The production database supports point-in-time recovery from automated backups.

  • Infrastructure redundancy

    Critical components are replicated across multiple availability zones to keep the service available.

Product security

  • Enterprise single sign-on

    Sign in with Microsoft Entra ID, Google Workspace, or your SAML or OIDC identity provider.

  • Role-based access control

    Organization and project roles control what each person can see and do, including administrators.

  • Secure sessions

    Sessions use secure, HTTP-only cookies with a configurable expiry.

  • Audit logs for administrators

    Organization admins can view and export an append-only record of sign-ins, data access and admin changes.

  • Continuous vulnerability scanning

    Code and dependencies are scanned continuously, and findings are fixed based on risk and impact.

  • Annual penetration testing

    An independent firm tests the application every year, and remediation is verified.

  • Secure development lifecycle

    Written procedures govern how changes are tracked, tested, approved and validated.

  • Peer-reviewed code changes

    Every change is reviewed and tested for quality and security before it is merged.

  • Approved releases

    Releases are approved by authorized personnel before they reach production.

  • Version control with rollback

    All source code is version-controlled, so any release can be rolled back.

  • Separate environments

    Development and testing happen in environments isolated from production.

  • Security headers

    HSTS, Content Security Policy and related headers are enforced on the web application.

Data and privacy

  • Encryption at rest

    Customer data is encrypted at rest with AES-256.

  • Encryption in transit

    All connections use TLS 1.2 or higher.

  • Tenant data isolation

    Each organization's data is kept separate at every layer: database queries, file storage, search indexes and compute.

  • Data classification

    A data classification policy defines the types of confidential information we hold and how each is protected.

  • Data retention policy

    Written retention periods apply to all confidential information we maintain.

  • Customer-controlled retention

    Your content stays until you delete it, and organizations can set shorter retention periods.

  • Data deletion on request

    On request we delete an organization's content from our database, file storage and search index, and provide a deletion certificate.

  • Masked product analytics

    Session replay masks all inputs and on-screen text before anything is captured.

  • Data Processing Agreement

    A DPA with Standard Contractual Clauses for international transfers is available to every customer on request.

  • Business Associate Agreements

    We sign BAAs with customers and hold BAAs with the subprocessors that process PHI.

  • Subprocessor transparency

    Our subprocessors are listed below, and customers are notified of changes as set out in their data processing agreement.

AI security

  • No training on customer data

    Your content is never used to train AI models, and our agreements with AI providers prohibit it.

  • PII redaction before AI processing

    Content passes through PII detection and redaction before it reaches generative AI models. You choose what gets redacted.

  • AI-specific penetration testing

    Our independent penetration test covered prompt injection and misuse of AI tools and agents.

  • Zero-retention AI providers

    AI providers work under agreements that prohibit retaining or reusing customer data.

  • AI governance policy

    A written policy governs how AI systems are selected, approved and monitored.

  • AI system register

    Every AI system and model provider we use is inventoried and reviewed.

    Company laptops use full-disk encryption to protect stored data and credentials.

  • Anti-malware protection

    Workstations run antivirus software to protect against malware.

  • Managed devices

    Mobile device management tracks inventory and patch status, enforces encryption and supports remote wipe.

  • Secure hardware disposal

    Hardware that held sensitive data is disposed of following a written procedure.

Internal security procedures

  • Risk management program

    A formal process sets risk tolerances and evaluates risks against identified threats.

  • Annual risk assessment

    Threats to the system are identified and ranked every year.

  • Risk remediation plans

    Findings from risk assessments are tracked to resolution through a formal plan.
