Security

Built to protect
your community's data

Sort Residential takes security seriously. We follow industry best practices to keep resident data safe, private, and secure.

End-to-End Encryption

All data in transit is encrypted with TLS 1.3. Messages and personal data are encrypted at rest using AES-256.

Row-Level Security

PostgreSQL row-level security policies ensure residents can only access data within their own community — never another building's data.

Multi-Factor Authentication

All property manager and admin portals require MFA. Staff accounts use Google OAuth plus a time-based PIN for every login.

SOC 2 Aligned

Our security policies, incident response plans, vendor assessments, and data classification follow the SOC 2 Trust Service Criteria framework.

Automated Monitoring

Real-time error detection with automated diagnosis. Dependabot scans dependencies for vulnerabilities. Critical errors trigger immediate alerts.

Regular Key Rotation

API keys, service credentials, and access tokens are rotated quarterly. All rotations are logged and tracked for compliance.

Tested Nightly Backups

Every night the entire database is backed up, encrypted, and stored with a separate provider — then restored into a clean database and checked row by row. A backup that will not restore fails the job.

Payment Fraud Controls

Any change to payment details, and any first payment to a new counterparty, is confirmed by voice on a number already on file — never a number supplied in the request.

Security Training

Our security-awareness program requires annual training on phishing, credential handling, and resident-data care — plus quarterly phishing simulations — for everyone with access to a Sort system.

Data Privacy

Sort Residential collects only the data necessary to provide community features. We do not sell resident data to third parties, run advertising algorithms, or share personal information outside of your property community.


Infrastructure Security

Sort is hosted on Supabase, built on AWS infrastructure with SOC 2 Type II certification. Our database uses PostgreSQL with row-level security, and all API traffic passes through Supabase's edge network with rate limiting and DDoS protection.


Backup and Recovery

Most companies find out whether their backups work on the worst day of the year. Sort finds out every night. A backup that cannot be restored is not a backup, so the restore is part of the backup — not a fire drill scheduled for later.


Security Program

Sort maintains written, quarterly-reviewed policies rather than informal practice, so that what we do is auditable by the property managers and owners who trust us with their residents' data.


Access Controls

Access to production systems is strictly controlled. All admin access requires MFA. Property managers receive scoped access limited to their own communities only.


Incident Response

Sort maintains a formal incident response plan. Critical security events are logged, triaged, and addressed within 24 hours. Affected users are notified in accordance with applicable data breach notification requirements.

To report a security vulnerability, email [email protected]. We aim to respond within 48 hours.
