Security
Payroll data demands serious security
PayrollShield is built from the ground up to protect sensitive compensation data. Encryption, isolation, access controls, and audit trails are not add-ons — they are foundational.
Encryption at Rest & in Transit
All payroll data is encrypted using AES-256 at rest and TLS 1.3 in transit. Your data is protected whether it is being stored, processed, or transferred between services.
Access Controls
Role-based access ensures only authorized users can view or act on payroll data. Row-level security (RLS) is enforced at the database level — not just the application layer.
Audit Logging
Every login, data access, review decision, and approval is logged with timestamps and user attribution. Audit logs are immutable and available for export.
Infrastructure Security
PayrollShield runs on isolated cloud infrastructure with automated patching, DDoS protection, and network-level firewalls. No shared hosting. No shared databases.
Data Minimization
We only process the payroll fields needed for change detection. Sensitive PII is never stored beyond what is required for the comparison, and all data is scoped to your organization.
Compliance Posture
PayrollShield is built with SOC 2 Type II controls in mind. We follow industry-standard practices for data handling, access management, incident response, and vendor security.
Compliance-ready by design
PayrollShield maintains controls aligned with SOC 2 Type II, including logical access management, change management, system monitoring, and incident response procedures. Our architecture supports audit requirements for organizations subject to SOX, GDPR, and industry-specific regulations.
