Security and trust
Board papers deserve better than an email attachment.
This page sets out what Ratify does to protect your information, in plain terms. If something you need isn’t here, ask us and we’ll answer in writing.
Australian data hosting
Customer data, including board papers, annotations, minutes and audit logs, is stored in Australia. Our hosting provider and region are [PLACEHOLDER: hosting provider and region, e.g. AWS ap-southeast-2 (Sydney)].
Backups are stored in Australia too.
Encryption
Data is encrypted in transit with TLS 1.2 or higher and encrypted at rest with [PLACEHOLDER: encryption standard, e.g. AES-256].
Sign-in and access control
Every user signs in with multi-factor authentication, and administrators can require it for their whole organisation.
On Professional and Enterprise plans, users can sign in with Microsoft Entra ID or Google Workspace. Enterprise adds SCIM provisioning, so access is granted and removed from your identity provider automatically.
Permissions can be set by board, committee, meeting and agenda item, including restricted papers for in-camera sessions.
Audit trail
Ratify records who viewed, downloaded, signed, voted on or changed what, and when. Administrators can export the full log at any time.
ASD Essential Eight alignment
We run Ratify’s own systems against the Australian Signals Directorate’s Essential Eight mitigation strategies, targeting Maturity Level [PLACEHOLDER: target maturity level]. This is self-assessed alignment, not a certification.
Ratify does not currently hold ISO 27001, SOC 2 or IRAP certification. If one is on our roadmap we will say so here, with a date, once it is committed.
Remote wipe
On our roadmapRevoking a device’s access and removing downloaded packs from it is on our roadmap. Until then, removing a user signs them out of every session immediately.
Privacy
We handle personal information under the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the Australian Privacy Principles. Our privacy policy explains what we collect and why.
Responsible disclosure
If you believe you’ve found a security vulnerability in Ratify or this website, email contact@ratify.au with “Security” in the subject line. Please give us a reasonable time to fix it before telling anyone else.
We will acknowledge your report within [PLACEHOLDER: e.g. two business days] and keep you updated. We won’t take action against good-faith research that avoids privacy violations and service disruption.
