Security

How we protect your workforce data.

How each company's data is kept apart, protected and recorded, in plain words.

Honest about what's in place. We do not claim SOC 2 or ISO 27001 certification. Everything on this page is live in the product today.

Security controls

What actually protects your data.

Data kept separate per company

Every query runs through a company filter added before it reaches the database, so one company's HR team can never fetch another company's data. It is enforced in the data layer, not just hidden on screen.

Role-based access

The platform administrator, company admins and HR, managers and employees each have their own access. Managers see only their team; employees see only their own records.

Audit logging

Background check decisions, platform admin actions and sensitive admin operations are logged with who did it and when.

Private document storage

Sensitive uploads such as background check documents and payment receipts are kept on private storage and open only for signed-in users who are allowed to see them.

Encrypted identity details

Aadhaar, PAN and bank account numbers are stored encrypted and shown masked wherever they appear.

Verified sign-up

A company account is created only after the email address is confirmed with a one-time code.

FAQ

Common security questions

Can your team see our employee data?

The platform administrator account can see across companies for support and compliance work, and that access is logged. If you need a contractual assurance, contact us for a data processing agreement.

Where is the data stored?

On servers in India. The database and file storage are on the same hosted server; we do not copy data to other regions.

Can we export our data?

Yes. HR admins can export employee and training records as CSV.

What happens to our data if we cancel?

It stays until you ask us to delete it. Write to us for a full export followed by deletion; we complete it within 30 days.
