Secure foundations
Built for reliability and resilience
Rely on a platform that’s always on. Our AWS architecture scales with multiple availability zones. We use rigorous failover testing to ensure localized incidents never impact your global service or speed.
Our defenses are regularly audited by independent security experts. Review our SOC and ISO certifications to give your customers and your legal team peace of mind.
Stay ready for the unexpected. We perform regular disaster recovery drills to verify our failover procedures, enabling us to restore your service and data quickly if a major incident occurs.
By building multiple defensive layers into our architecture, we can proactively mitigate risks, stay ahead of threats, and ensure your service remains resilient without effort.
Data is encrypted in transit and at rest by default. We use opportunistic TLS for email to maintain secure communication with any external service that supports standard encryption protocols.
Data safety
Simplify data privacy and protection
Proactively minimize data with redaction and deletion
Keep only the data you need. Use native redaction and automated deletion schedules to stay compliant and reduce your risk, with advanced options for complex minimization requirements.
Limit exposure with granular access controls
Ensure the right people have the right access. Use custom roles and Custom User Field Permissions to manage visibility of sensitive customer and employee data stored in your custom user fields.
Meet global laws with data residency options
Align with regional regulations by choosing where your data is hosted. Maintain compliance while providing a fast, seamless experience for your customers by keeping data in-region.
Governance & control
Control your account access
Ensure only authorized users enter your workspace. Use single sign-on and multi-factor authentication to verify every user, protecting your data from unauthorized access attempts.
Keep your workspace secure by restricting access to approved locations. Define IP restrictions to ensure your account is only accessible from your corporate network, preventing outside threats.
Use department spaces to limit agent access to ticket data across departments and brands, keeping sensitive information restricted to the teams that need it.
Track every admin and configuration change. To gain deeper visibility use access logs in Advanced Data Privacy and Protection and see who accessed or searched for specific data, including the time and location.
Global Compliance
Meet compliance obligations easily
Streamline your compliance process. We maintain industry-standard certifications like SOC 2 and ISO, giving you the documentation needed to pass your own audits quickly and demonstrate a high standard of protection to your stakeholders.
