Enterprise-grade security

Your data is our responsibility.

Infrastructure

Built on Google Cloud Platform.

Multi-region, auto-scaling, and encrypted at every layer.

Google Cloud Platform

All infrastructure runs on GCP with multi-region redundancy across Europe, US, and APAC. Auto-scaling ensures uptime during peak loads.

Encryption at rest

All data encrypted at rest using AES-256 with Google-managed encryption keys. Database backups encrypted with customer-managed keys available on Enterprise plans.

Encryption in transit

Data handling

You control your data.

GDPR compliance is built into the product, not bolted on.
