Security & Data Handling

How we protect your data.

Plain-English summary of encryption, tenant isolation, backups, access controls, and who we share data with. Nothing here is legal boilerplate — this is what's actually true today.

Encryption

All traffic between your browser and PowerPCS is encrypted in transit via HTTPS (TLS), including a valid, auto-renewing SSL certificate. Passwords are never stored in plain text — they're hashed using industry-standard one-way hashing, so even we can't see them.

Tenant Isolation

PowerPCS is multi-tenant: every customer's data — positions, incumbents, reports, everything — is scoped to their own team at the database query level, automatically, on every request. One customer's data is never visible to another. This isolation was audited line-by-line across every data-access path in the application, not just spot-checked.

Backups & Disaster Recovery

Production is backed up daily and retained for roughly a week. This isn't a theoretical safeguard — we've run a full restore drill: spun up a new server from a backup, confirmed the data came back intact, and verified the whole recovery process actually works end to end.

Access Controls

Two-factor authentication (2FA) is available on every account. Within a team, access is role-based — Administrator, Editor, or Read Only — so you control who can view or change what.

Sub-Processors

We share data only with the service providers PowerPCS runs on, each bound to protect it appropriately. We don't sell data or share it with anyone else.
