Security

Built like the data matters.

Your resume is a long, honest record of your career. We treat it that way. This page details the controls we use; the privacy policy covers the rights you have.

Six pillars

Security isn't a feature; it's the order in which we make decisions. Here's what that looks like in practice.

01

Encryption

  • TLS 1.3 in transit, AES-256-GCM at rest, on every layer of the stack.
  • Per-tenant encryption keys for resume content, rotated quarterly.
  • Database-level row encryption for personally-identifying fields.
02

Access control

  • Production access is MFA-only, role-scoped, and short-lived (90-day max session).
  • All admin actions logged immutably. Audit trail searchable by support, reviewed weekly.
  • Engineers cannot read user resume content in production without break-glass approval and user consent.
03

AI processing

  • Inference via Anthropic and OpenAI under zero-retention agreements — your prompts and outputs are not stored on their side beyond the API call.
  • Your content is never used to train any model — ours, theirs, or anyone else's.
  • Optional EU-only inference path on Ultimate (Frankfurt region, no cross-Atlantic transit).
04

Infrastructure

  • AWS, multi-AZ in eu-central-1 (primary) and us-east-1 (replica).
  • Daily encrypted backups, 30-day retention, geographically separated.
  • Tested DR plan — quarterly recovery drills documented in our SOC 2 program.
05

Application security

  • OWASP Top 10 covered by code review, automated SAST (Semgrep), dependency scanning (Snyk), and quarterly external pentests.
  • Responsible disclosure is open to security researchers, with clear acknowledgement and triage windows.
  • Strict CSP, HSTS, SRI, and signed cookies. No third-party trackers on logged-in surfaces.
06

People & process

  • All staff sign a confidentiality agreement and complete annual security training.
  • Background checks for everyone with production access.
  • Incident response runbook with 15-minute paging, public postmortem within 5 business days for any user-affecting incident.

Where we stand, plainly

No marketing-speak. If we're done, we say done. If we're working on it, we say what month.
