Core Security Features

Tenant Isolation

Every database record includes tenant boundaries. All API requests are validated against tenant context with authorizer enforcement at the gateway level.

  • Row-level tenant isolation
  • API Gateway authorizer enforcement
  • Cross-tenant access prevention

Encryption

All data is encrypted at rest using AES-256 and in transit using TLS 1.3. Sensitive PII fields use envelope encryption with AWS KMS.

  • AES-256 encryption at rest
  • TLS 1.3 in transit
  • Field-level PII encryption
  • KMS key management

Audit Logging

Immutable audit logs capture every sensitive action including approvals, exports, data access, and configuration changes. Exportable for compliance.

  • Append-only audit trail
  • Action, actor, and timestamp tracking
  • Export to CSV/JSON (Scale plan)
  • Retention configurable

Access Controls (RBAC)

Six granular roles control what users can see and do. Permissions are enforced at both the API and UI level.

  • Tenant Owner - Full access
  • Admin - Manage users and settings
  • Recruiter - Full hiring workflow
  • Hiring Manager - Job-specific access
  • Interviewer - Scorecards only
  • Read Only - View access

SSO & SAML

Enterprise customers can connect their identity provider via SAML 2.0. Supports Okta, Azure AD, Google Workspace, and custom SAML providers.

  • SAML 2.0 support
  • Role mapping from IdP
  • Just-in-time provisioning
  • Available on Scale plan

API Security

API keys use secure hash+salt storage with prefix-based lookup. Keys can be rotated without downtime and usage is tracked per key.

  • Hash+salt key storage
  • Key rotation support
  • Per-key usage tracking
  • Rate limiting per tenant

Compliance

Regulatory Compliance

Built-in features to help you meet GDPR, data retention, and industry compliance requirements.

Configure automatic data retention rules to archive or delete candidate data after a specified period. Helps maintain compliance with local regulations.

  • Configurable retention periods
  • Archive or delete options
