Security

How estate data is protected on this platform.

Last reviewed: 6 August 2026

Data protection measures

  • All traffic is encrypted in transit using TLS.
  • Estate data and uploaded documents are encrypted at rest.
  • Access to each estate workspace is restricted to the account that created it and anyone that account explicitly invites.
  • Passwords are hashed; we never store them in readable form.
  • Optional two-factor authentication on accounts.
  • Key actions are recorded in an audit log with a timestamp.

Payments

Card details are handled entirely by our payment provider. Card numbers never reach our servers.

Backups and continuity

Data is backed up regularly so that a workspace can be restored after a technical failure. You can also export your estate record at any time.

Reporting a vulnerability
