Security & trust

# Built for the strictest procurement teams in the country

We meet user access, data sovereignty, governance, privacy, and security requirements out of the box.

## Encrypted from source to destination

Data is encrypted at rest and in transit. Authentication, authorisation and encryption secure both parties’ proprietary data.

## Data sovereignty, your choice of region

Lock processing to the region you choose — New Zealand or Australia. Eightwire’s hybrid cloud lets customers restrict the servers that physically handle data to certain countries or data centres.

## Independently assessed

External security specialists have reviewed our cloud configuration against security best practices, the application code and configuration behind it, the controls covering our New Zealand processing servers, and our change control, business continuity and disaster recovery processes.
