# Security Practices

### Compliance

ChangeUp is fully compliant with SOC 2 Type II, PCI-SAQ A, US Data Privacy Policy, and GDPR.

### Data Security & Governance

ChangeUp encrypts data at rest and in transit for all of our customers. We use tools like Amazon Web Service’s Key Management System (KMS) to manage encryption keys using hardware security modules for maximum security in line with industry best practices. 

ChangeUp employs data security governance principles by focusing on sensitive data protection and privacy, conducting, deleting unnecessary data, and consolidating data silos, whether they are on-premises or in the cloud, to ensure project alignment with business objectives.

### Application Security

ChangeUp regularly engages some of the industry’s best application security experts for third-party penetration tests. Our penetration testers evaluate the source code, running application, and the deployed environment.

ChangeUp also uses high-quality static analysis tooling provided by GitHub Advanced Security such as CodeQL, Secrets Scanner, and Dependabot to secure our product at every step of the development process.

### Infrastructure Security

ChangeUp uses Amazon Web Services to host our application. We make full use of the security products embedded within the AWS ecosystem, including KMS, GuardDuty, and Inspector.

In addition, we deploy our application using containers run on AWS-managed services, meaning we typically do not manage servers or EC2 instances in production.
