Security
DocSpring follows industry best-practices to keep your data safe:
-
You can only access the DocSpring service via
TLS (https).
We enforce this with
HSTS headers.
-
Submission data stored in our database is encrypted at rest using AES-256.
-
Our Redis job queue and cache is encrypted at rest.
-
All stored files are encrypted at rest, using the AWS Key Management Service.
This includes template PDFs, generated PDFs, and any other files that are stored in
Amazon S3.
-
Passwords are hashed using
bcrypt
with 11 key expansion rounds. We do not store plaintext passwords in our database.
-
We record application, access, and administrative activity to support security monitoring and investigations.
-
Retention depends on the type of log. API and webhook database logs are subject to a 90-day deletion schedule.
Lambda worker logs are retained for 30 days.
Rack access logs are configured for 2,555 days (approximately seven years), while the administrative gateway is configured for 2,557 days.
Database recovery copies have separate retention periods, described in our privacy policy.
-
We subscribe to security mailing lists and patch any vulnerabilities as soon as possible.
