Trust · Security & compliance

Security, said plainly.

Putting CRM, accounting, HR, and helpdesk on one platform raises real questions. Below is how we answer them — by design, by architecture, and by default. Email [email protected] if anything below isn't enough.

Architecture & data protection

What's actually true.

No badge theater. Here's the architecture that protects your data — verifiable in how the platform is built and operated, not in a framed certificate.

STACK
Self-hosted operating stack
Mail, database, and app runtime all run on Mewayz-operated infrastructure — not third-party SaaS. Your customer data never enters another vendor's regime.
By design
AI
Bring-your-own-key AI
AI features run on your own API key to OpenAI, Anthropic, or Google — you choose the provider and its data terms, and you can turn AI off entirely. We never train on your data.
Your key · your provider
TENANT
Database-per-tenant isolation
Each workspace runs in its own database, separated at the framework level (Stancl tenancy v3.10) — not shared rows filtered by an account ID. One company's data is never queryable by another.
Enforced
ENC
Encryption everywhere
AES-256 at rest, TLS 1.3 in transit. MFA available on admin accounts. Encryption terminates inside infrastructure we operate.
Active
PCI
Stripe PCI DSS
Card data is handled by Stripe (PCI DSS Level 1) and, in India, Razorpay (RBI-compliant). Mewayz never stores raw card numbers.
Via processor
EDGE
Cloudflare edge
DDoS protection, CDN, and DNS sit in front of every request. Malicious traffic is filtered before it reaches the app.
Active
CSP
Locked checkout
Content-Security-Policy form-action is locked to checkout.stripe.com and buy.stripe.com — payment forms can't be redirected anywhere else.
Enforced
DPA
GDPR-aligned + DPA
A data-processing agreement is available pre-signature and auto-signed at checkout. One-click export of all your data, in standard formats, any time.
On request
Dedicated & regional infrastructure

Isolation that's physical, not just a filter.

Most platforms put every customer in one big shared database and separate you with an account_id column. Mewayz doesn't. Each tenant gets its own database and environment — and every white-label partner gets a fully isolated box of their own.

01

A database per workspace

Your records live in a database provisioned for your workspace alone — not a shared table separated by a filter. No noisy-neighbor performance, no cross-tenant query surface, no “one bad WHERE clause leaks everyone” risk.

02

Isolated white-label environments

Every white-label partner is provisioned with their own Linux user, database, and file space — automatically, in about two minutes. A partner's clients, files, and data stay inside that partner's box. Nothing is co-mingled.

03

One app instance per region

Mewayz runs a separate app instance, database, and environment in each region. Your data is created and stays in the region you pick at signup — EU, US, or APAC — so residency and low latency are the default, not an add-on.

How we think about security

Six principles.

These are the rules our security team designs to. They are not aspirational — they are the gates a feature has to pass before it ships.

01

Customer data is customer data.

We don't sell aggregated insights. We don't train ML models on your records. We don't read inbound emails to product-market. Your data is the product we host, not a feedstock.

02

The export button is the trust contract.

One click in Settings exports everything in standard formats. We make leaving easy on purpose. The best customer is the one who knows they can leave and chooses not to.

03

Encryption at rest and in transit.

AES-256 at rest. TLS 1.3 in transit. Key management via AWS KMS with customer-managed-key option on Agency tier. No "we'll encrypt premium customers" tiering.

04

Least privilege by default.

Employees access customer data only under audit, only when a customer has opened a support ticket asking them to, and only for the records the ticket pertains to. Every access logged, indefinitely.

05

Data residency is your choice.

Pick EU, US, or APAC region at signup. Data stays in-region by default. Cross-region replication is opt-in, with explicit consent in the DPA.

06

Disclosure within 72 hours.

If we have a security incident affecting customer data, we notify affected customers within 72 hours of confirming impact. No exceptions, no PR-approved delay windows.

Data residency · You pick the region

Three regions.

Choose at signup. Cannot be changed after data is loaded without a planned migration. Sub-processors per region listed on the trust portal.

Region Primary AZs Hosted by Backups Sub-processors
EU Frankfurt · Dublin · Stockholm AWS eu-central-1, eu-west-1, eu-north-1 In-region · 35 days EU only
US Virginia · Oregon · Ohio AWS us-east-1, us-west-2, us-east-2 In-region · 35 days US only
APAC Singapore · Tokyo · Mumbai AWS ap-southeast-1, ap-northeast-1, ap-south-1 In-region · 35 days Regional

10

Audit logs & monitoring.

Every action in the platform is logged to an immutable audit trail. Retained for 7 years. Streamable to Splunk / Datadog / Elastic via integration. Suspicious-activity alerting built in.

11

External pen-test twice a year. Internal red-team quarterly. Bug bounty program with HackerOne — rewards from $250 (low) to $10,000 (critical). Published scope, no NDAs needed.

Common questions, said plainly

Security FAQ.

Where does my data actually live?

On infrastructure we operate ourselves — our own database and mail server running on AWS EC2 behind Cloudflare. It isn't handed off to a chain of third-party SaaS vendors. That's what "self-hosted stack" means: your core data stays inside the regime we control. Two exceptions, both under your control: card data is handled by Stripe (PCI DSS Level 1) so we never store raw card numbers, and AI features call OpenAI, Anthropic, or Google using your own API key — which you can configure or disable.

Do you sign customer DPAs?

Yes. We have a standard DPA most procurement teams accept as-is. Custom DPAs are reviewed by counsel — usually approved within 5 business days.

Where is my data hosted?

In the region you select at signup. EU-region data stays in EU. US in US. APAC in APAC. No silent cross-region replication.

Can your employees see my data?

By default, no. Access requires a customer-initiated support ticket and explicit role grant. Every access is logged and surfaceable to you on request.

What happens if you have a breach?

72-hour notification to affected customers. Public incident report after remediation. We don't time disclosures around press cycles.

How do I delete my data?

Cancel your account in Settings → Account. After 30 days, data is purged from production. Backups age out at 35 days. Audit logs retain account metadata for 7 years (legal requirement); content data is purged.

Do you train AI on my data?

No. Customer data is never used to train models. AI features use customer data only for the immediate request (e.g. drafting an email for this customer) and the request is not retained by the model provider.

How can I report a vulnerability?

HackerOne program at hackerone.com/mewayz. We respond within 1 business day for critical reports. Rewards from $250–$10,000. No NDAs; published scope.

Trust, by structure.

We publish a trust portal with every report, sub-processor, and policy. Email [email protected] to get the latest.
