Governance

Liberte's Security and Privacy teams establish policies and controls, monitor compliance with those controls, and prove our security and compliance to third-party auditors.

Our policies are based on the following foundational principles:

01.

Access should be limited to only those with a legitimate business need and granted based on the principle of least privilege.

02.

Security controls should be implemented and layered according to the principle of defense-in-depth.

03.

Security controls should be applied consistently across all areas of the enterprise.

04.

The implementation of controls should be iterative, continuously maturing across the dimensions of improved effectiveness, increased auditability, and decreased friction.

Security and Compliance at Liberte

Liberte is aiming to be a SOC 2 Type I compliance by end of 2024 and SOC 2 Type II compliance by 2025.

Data Protection

Data at rest

All datastores with customer data, in addition to S3 buckets, are encrypted at rest. Sensitive collections and tables also use row-level encryption. This means the data is encrypted even before it hits the database so that neither physical access, nor logical access to the database, is enough to read the most sensitive information.

Data in transit

Liberte uses TLS 1.2 or higher everywhere data is transmitted over potentially insecure networks. We also use features such as HSTS (HTTP Strict Transport Security) to maximize the security of our data in transit. Server TLS keys and certificates are managed by AWS and deployed via Application Load Balancers.

Secret management

Encryption keys are managed via Azure Key Vault. Azure Key Vault stores key material in Hardware Security Modules (HSMs), which prevents direct access by any individuals, including employees of Azure and Liberte. The keys stored in HSMs are used for encryption and decryption via Azure Key Vault's APIs. Application secrets are encrypted and stored securely via Azure Key Vault Secrets Manager and Parameter Store, and access to these values is strictly limited.

Enterprise Security

Endpoint protection

All corporate devices are equipped with mobile device management software and anti-malware protection. We use MDM software to enforce secure configuration of endpoints, such as disk encryption, screen lock configuration, and software updates.

Secure remote access

Liberte secures remote access to internal resources using VPN.

Security education

Liberte provides comprehensive security training to all employees upon onboarding and annually through educational modules. In addition, all new employees attend a mandatory live onboarding session centered around key security principles. All new engineers also attend a mandatory live onboarding session focused on secure coding principles and practices.

Identity and access management

Liberte uses SSO to secure our identity and access management. We enforce the use of phishing-resistant authentication factors wherever possible. Liberte employees are granted access to applications based on their role, and automatically deprovisioned upon termination of their employment. Further access must be approved according to the policies set for each application

Vendor security

Liberte uses a risk-based approach to vendor security. Factors which influence the inherent risk rating of a vendor include:

Access to customer and corporate data

Integration with production environments

Potential damage to the Liberte brand

Once the inherent risk rating has been determined, the security of the vendor is evaluated in order to determine a residual risk rating and an approval decision for the vendor.

Data privacy

At Liberte, data privacy is our priority — we strive to be trustworthy stewards of all sensitive data.
