- Security & controls: Role-based access, granular API permissions, full audit trails for integrations, key rotation, and built-in encryption (AES‑256, PGP) for inbound/outbound APIs/files.
- Data protection program and trust posture: Privacy Policy and Sub-Processors registry; platform claims high security and 100% compliant core; enterprise-grade security architecture references.
