Security & Compliance

Your trade data, protected at every layer

Global Tariff Rates is built with security-first principles. From encryption to audit trails, we protect your product data and classification results with enterprise-grade security.

Security posture

Comprehensive security controls across every layer of the platform.

Encryption at Rest & In Transit

All data is encrypted using AES-256 at rest and TLS 1.3 in transit. Database-level encryption ensures your product data and classification results are protected at every layer.

  • AES-256 encryption at rest
  • TLS 1.3 for all data in transit
  • Database-level row encryption
  • Encrypted backups with key rotation

Comprehensive Audit Trails

Every action on the platform is logged with full context: who did what, when, and why. Audit trails are immutable and exportable for compliance reviews.

  • Immutable audit event log
  • User, action, and timestamp tracking
  • Before/after state capture
  • Exportable audit reports

Role-Based Access Control

Granular permissions ensure team members only see what they need. Separate roles for admins, compliance managers, operations, finance, and external collaborators.

  • Admin, compliance manager, ops, finance roles
  • External collaborator access (broker, consultant, expert)
  • Organisation-level isolation
  • Invitation-based onboarding
