Data Protection
Every layer of WhizFlow is designed to keep payroll data encrypted and secure, from ingestion through delivery.
- TLS 1.2+ encryption for all data in transit
- AES-256 encryption for all data at rest
- Per-client PDF password encryption for every delivered report
- Self-hosted Vault instance for secrets and credential management
- Zero unencrypted storage of sensitive payroll reports
Access Control
Fine-grained, role-based permissions ensure that every user sees only the data they are authorized to access.
- 4-tier RBAC model: admin, standard, limited, and client-scoped roles
- Client-scoped users restricted to assigned organizations only
- Session management with configurable timeouts
- All admin access fully audited and logged
- Principle of least privilege enforced at every level
Audit & Compliance
Complete visibility into every action taken in the system, with tamper-resistant logs you can rely on.
- Complete event logging for all user and system actions
- Immutable audit store — logs cannot be modified or deleted
- Configurable retention policies per tenant
- Standard log fields: actor, action, resource, timestamp, IP address
- Filterable audit views for compliance reviews and investigations
Infrastructure Security
Multi-tenant architecture with strong isolation boundaries and continuous monitoring.
- Tenant isolation enforced via Postgres Row-Level Security (RLS)
- Application-level tenant context verification on every request
- Automated health monitoring with configurable alert thresholds
- Infrastructure alerts for anomalous behavior and failures
- Environment-based configuration with no secrets in code
Reliability & Uptime
Built for the cadence of payroll — where missed deadlines are not an option.
- 99.5% uptime target for platform availability
- Automatic retry with exponential backoff for failed deliveries
- Idempotent processing to prevent duplicate operations
- Delivery success rate of 99.9%+ across all workflow types
- Real-time operational dashboard for monitoring system health
Our Security Approach
Security is not a feature we bolt on — it is foundational to how WhizFlow is designed, built, and operated.
Defense in Depth
Multiple layers of security controls — encryption, access control, audit logging, and tenant isolation — work together to protect your data.
Least Privilege
Every user, service, and process has only the minimum permissions needed. Client-scoped users cannot access data outside their assignments.
Full Auditability
Every action is logged with immutable records. You always have a clear trail for compliance reviews and incident investigation.
