What we can see
- Account email and organization membership metadata
- Encrypted file blobs and opaque storage keys
- Encrypted metadata strings and key wrapping blobs
- Share tokens, expiry, view counts, and hashed audit events
- Billing status via our payment processor
What we cannot see
- Your master password or derived vault keys (DEK)
- Document plaintext or filenames in the clear
- The FEK in a share URL hash fragment (never sent to our servers)
Zero-knowledge here means document contents are encrypted in the browser before upload. It is not an absolute claim about all metadata or analytics.
Architecture at a glance
Browser
password → PBKDF2 → DEK
file → AES-256-GCM → ciphertext + FEK wrap
↓
Server (Vercel) → Postgres metadata → R2 ciphertext
session / MFA gate only
never receives DEK or share #fragmentStatus & assurance
We publish a claim-safe assurance posture—not certification theater. Today that means:
- No SOC 2, ISO 27001, or HIPAA certification is claimed for Compliance Locker at this time
- Independent pen-test reports: none published yet — we will link reports here when available
- Architecture & crypto: described on Security (client-side AES-256-GCM, key custody, share model)
- Subprocessors: listed at Subprocessors
Operational incidents and maintenance notices: support@compliancelocker.app. For buyer questionnaires, start from Security and this Trust Center rather than marketing slogans.
Account SSO (Google / Microsoft OAuth) is available for sign-in. SSO proves account ownership only; your master password still unlocks vault keys locally. Enterprise SAML/OIDC and SCIM remain on the roadmap. MFA, session inventory, share passwords, and escrow acknowledgements are available in-product.
Evaluator one-pager
What most security reviews need in the first pass:
- Encryption runs in the browser before upload (AES-256-GCM)
- Operators cannot decrypt document plaintext under normal operation
- Share keys can be delivered via URL hash fragments (not logged as ordinary request data)
- Share controls: expiry, view limits, optional password, watermark
- Insert-only vault activity is exportable for evidence requests
- Formal SOC 2 / ISO reports: not available yet — ask us for timeline if required for procurement
