Security and compliance by design.

We build and operate systems where the data matters: finance, accounting, compliance workflows, and sensitive documents. Security is treated as an operating discipline — identity boundaries, encryption boundaries, change control, and audit-friendly logging. We’re also building with the intention of pursuing SOC 2–aligned controls across the portfolio as products mature.

Security & compliance questionsView portfolio
Least privilege by default
Access is scoped to necessity; credentials and roles are treated as liabilities.
  • Role-based access and separation of duties where applicable
  • Prefer short-lived credentials and narrow scopes over standing access
  • Access reviews and tight onboarding/offboarding discipline
Auditability
We design for evidence: what happened, when, and why — without guesswork.
  • Event logging and workflow audit trails (especially for documents and signatures)
  • Change tracking for critical configuration and integrations
  • Operational visibility so exceptions aren’t invisible
Failure-aware design
Retries, idempotency, and safe fallbacks so incidents are contained and data stays correct.
  • Idempotent writes and dedupe safety to prevent duplicates
  • Backoff/retry for flaky third-party APIs
  • Safe failure modes that preserve integrity over convenience
Secure delivery patterns
Encryption in transit and at rest, plus controlled access patterns for sensitive artifacts.
  • TLS for transport; HTTPS-only where applicable
  • At-rest encryption via cloud primitives (volume/object/database encryption)
  • Scoped access (e.g., signed URLs) for document delivery features when used
Compliance intent

Building toward SOC 2 readiness

We design controls and operational habits that map cleanly to common SOC 2 expectations (security, availability, confidentiality, and processing integrity). Timing and scope vary by product and partner constraints — we don’t claim attestation on a marketing page.

Control-friendly architecture
Clear boundaries and deterministic workflows make controls easier to implement and defend.
  • Explicit trust boundaries and scoped permissions
  • Deterministic processing with replayable inputs where appropriate
  • Evidence trails that tie actions to outcomes
Operational controls
Security becomes real when it’s measurable and repeatable.
  • Incident response expectations and escalation paths
  • Backups and restore strategy with periodic verification
  • Monitoring/alerting with actionable signals
Evidence and review discipline
Controls aren’t useful if they can’t be demonstrated.
  • Access reviews and change visibility
  • Vendor/subprocessor awareness and scoped data sharing
  • Log retention and audit-friendly artifacts where applicable
High-trust architecture

Designed for environments with real compliance pressure

We design systems to satisfy rigorous control expectations: explicit trust boundaries, strong IAM, audit-friendly artifacts, deterministic processing, encryption boundaries, and measurable operations.

Security & access control
Clear identity boundaries and permission discipline.
  • Least privilege and role-based permissions
  • Strong authentication patterns and session controls
  • Tenant isolation and scoped access to sensitive data
Availability & resilience
Operational discipline that reduces downtime and surprises.
  • Redundancy patterns where appropriate (service/AZ/region level)
  • Backups and restore strategies; recovery procedures where required
  • Monitoring and alerting so failures aren’t silent
Processing integrity
Correctness-first execution under real-world failure conditions.
  • Idempotency and dedupe safety for workflows
  • Validation and deterministic handling of critical inputs
  • Reconciliation-friendly error states and retriable operations
Confidentiality
Reduce exposure and contain blast radius.
  • Encryption at rest/in transit; scoped access to documents and records
  • Minimize sensitive data exposure in logs and downstream integrations
  • Explicit data-flow boundaries and least-data sharing
Privacy-aware handling
Controls that keep personal data governed and intentional.
  • Retention-aware designs and lifecycle behavior where applicable
  • Access logging and evidentiary trails for sensitive workflows
  • Vendor/integration boundaries designed to reduce leakage
Evidence you can defend
Controls that produce artifacts operators can stand behind.
  • Audit trails: who/what/when across critical operations
  • Change control patterns and configuration traceability
  • Runbook-driven operations and measurable targets
What this means in practice

We build systems that are easy to reason about under audit and under stress: explicit permissions, reliable logging, deterministic processing, encryption boundaries, and measurable operations. The goal is security controls that are real, testable, and maintainable — not afterthought checkboxes.

Controls

Practical controls that reduce risk

These are the types of technical and operational controls we commonly implement across the portfolio. Exact measures vary by product, environment, and partner requirements.

Transport & storage encryption
Baseline encryption controls that protect data in transit and at rest.
  • Transport encryption (TLS) for network connections
  • At-rest encryption for persisted data and backups/snapshots where applicable
  • Scoping and access controls around storage and backups
Application-layer encryption
When sensitivity warrants it, encrypt specific fields or documents at the application layer to reduce blast radius.
  • Field/document encryption for high-sensitivity data where appropriate
  • Envelope encryption patterns (data keys wrapped by a key-encryption key) where appropriate
  • Key separation so decrypt capability is not co-located with ciphertext by default
Key management & tenant isolation
Keys are treated as a boundary. We aim to reduce key exposure and cross-tenant risk.
  • Per-tenant or per-domain key scoping where appropriate
  • KMS/HSM-backed key storage patterns where available; no hardcoded keys
  • Rotation strategies and lifecycle controls where feasible
Secrets handling
Secrets are minimized, scoped, and rotated where feasible.
  • No secrets in source control; structured injection patterns
  • Environment separation (dev/stage/prod) and permission boundaries
  • Rotation and lifecycle discipline when supported by vendors
Credential security
Credentials should be expensive to crack and hard to misuse.
  • Passwords stored as salted, memory-hard hashes (implementation varies by system)
  • Multi-factor authentication support where applicable
  • Session/token practices designed to reduce replay and long-lived exposure
Input validation & sanitization
Validate and sanitize untrusted input at boundaries to reduce injection and malformed payload risk.
  • Schema validation and strict parsing
  • Parameterized queries/prepared statements where applicable
  • Defense against common OWASP classes of issues
Edge protection
Controls that reduce exposure to common web attack paths.
  • Web application firewall / managed rules where appropriate
  • Content Security Policy (CSP) to constrain resource loading
  • Strict Transport Security (HSTS) to enforce HTTPS
Monitoring & observability
Security is an ops problem: you need signals and containment, not guesswork.
  • Centralized logging patterns and alerting hooks
  • Anomaly detection, rate limiting, and abuse controls when needed
  • Operational visibility and measurable failure modes
Vendor and integration boundaries
Keep data flows explicit and vendor sprawl controlled.
  • Use subprocessors only as needed to deliver features
  • Scope what data is shared and why (least data principle)
  • Guardrails and boundaries around integrations
Encryption choices and key scoping are driven by data classification and threat model. We prefer designs where compromise of one component does not imply compromise of everything.

What we do and don’t claim

We do
  • • Design with least privilege, auditability, and secure defaults
  • • Implement encryption patterns appropriate to data sensitivity
  • • Use key management designs that reduce blast radius and minimize key exposure
  • • Build systems that are measurable, monitorable, and operable
  • • Build with the intention of pursuing SOC 2–aligned controls as products mature
We don’t
  • • Promise “perfect security” (no one credible does)
  • • Guarantee uninterrupted service in all circumstances
  • • Publish system-specific control details publicly
  • • Claim SOC 2 attestation unless and until it’s formally completed for a product
