Encryption
In Transit
All data is encrypted in transit using TLS 1.3 with modern cipher suites. We enforce HSTS and certificate pinning.
At Rest
Documents and user data are encrypted at rest using AES-256 encryption. Encryption keys are managed through Azure Key Vault with automatic rotation.
Document-Level Encryption
Each document has its own encryption key, derived from a master key. Even if one key were compromised, it could not decrypt other documents.
