Security at Certivox

We handle sensitive compliance data. Security is not an afterthought — it is foundational to everything we build.

Last Updated: April 1, 2026

SOC 2 Type II

Certification in progress. We are actively pursuing SOC 2 Type II across Security, Availability, and Confidentiality trust service criteria.

Encryption

All data encrypted in transit via TLS 1.2+ and at rest via AES-256. No exceptions.

Google Cloud Platform

Built on GCP — FedRAMP Authorized, ISO 27001 certified, SOC 2 compliant infrastructure in us-central1.

Access Controls

Role-based access control (RBAC), least-privilege principles, and audit logging on all production systems.

Infrastructure Security

  • Cloud provider: Google Cloud Platform (GCP), us-central1 region (Iowa, USA)
  • Compute: Cloud Run — fully managed, serverless containers with automatic scaling and zero persistent server access
  • Database: Cloud SQL (PostgreSQL) — private VPC only, no public internet exposure, automated backups with point-in-time recovery
  • Secrets management: All API keys, database credentials, and secrets stored in GCP Secret Manager. Never hardcoded or committed to source control
  • Network: Private VPC with strict firewall rules. Cloud Run services communicate over private Google network fabric
  • CI/CD: Google Cloud Build with automated security scanning. No direct production deployments — all changes go through automated build pipeline

Application Security

  • Authentication: Firebase Authentication with support for Google OAuth and email/password. Session tokens are HTTP-only, secure cookies — not accessible to JavaScript
  • Authorization: Role-based access control (RBAC) enforced server-side on every API route. Organization data is strictly isolated — users can only access their own organization's data
  • Input validation: All API inputs validated using Zod schema validation with TypeScript strict mode. Parameterized queries via Prisma ORM prevent SQL injection
  • Dependency management: Dependencies regularly audited and updated. Critical vulnerabilities patched within 24 hours
  • DNS and CDN: Cloudflare sits in front of our infrastructure providing DDoS protection, WAF, and TLS termination

Data Security

  • Encryption in transit: TLS 1.2 minimum, TLS 1.3 preferred on all connections
  • Encryption at rest: AES-256 encryption on all Cloud SQL data and GCP storage
  • Multi-tenancy isolation: Each organization's data is logically isolated at the database level using organization-scoped queries enforced in application code
  • Payment data: We never store payment card data. All payment processing is handled by Stripe (PCI-DSS Level 1 certified)
  • Compliance data: Your AI governance content (system inventories, assessments, controls) is your data. We do not analyze, share, or use it outside of providing the Service

Operational Security

  • Access management: Production access is limited to authorized personnel only, with audit logs on all access
  • Monitoring: GCP Cloud Logging and Monitoring for real-time alerting on anomalous activity
  • Backups: Automated daily database backups with 7-day retention and point-in-time recovery capability
  • Incident response: We maintain an incident response plan. Material security incidents will be communicated to affected customers within 72 hours per GDPR requirements
