# Security at Topkey.

Your financial data is the business. Here is how we protect it, and where to find our policies, uptime and audit reports.

## How we protect your data

-   **Encryption.** Data is encrypted in transit (TLS 1.2 or later) and at rest, using the managed encryption of our cloud and database providers (AWS and PlanetScale).
-   **Access control.** Multi-factor authentication is enforced for Topkey staff on Google Workspace, GitHub, AWS and our production hosting accounts.
-   **Backups.** Databases are backed up automatically every day, and restores are tested periodically.
-   **Penetration testing.** An independent third party tests Topkey every year.
-   **Continuous monitoring.** Our infrastructure controls are monitored continuously through Oneleet.
-   **Reporting a concern.** Email [security@topkey.io](mailto:security@topkey.io) and we will respond.
