Security
How we protect your data and the infrastructure that powers Portals.
At Geolize, security is foundational to everything we build. Portals handles your business operations data — projects, teams, clients, costs — and we take that responsibility seriously. This page describes how we protect your data and the infrastructure that powers the Services.
Data encryption
Your data is encrypted at every stage:
- In transit: all data transmitted between your browser and our servers is encrypted using TLS 1.2 or higher. We enforce HTTPS on all connections.
- At rest: all data stored in our databases and file storage is encrypted using AES-256 encryption.
- Backups: database backups are encrypted and stored in geographically distributed locations.
Infrastructure security
Portals is built on Convex, a modern backend platform that provides enterprise-grade infrastructure security. Our infrastructure includes:
- Hosting on SOC 2 Type II certified cloud providers
- Automatic scaling and redundancy to ensure high availability
- Network isolation and firewall protection
- DDoS mitigation and protection
- Continuous infrastructure monitoring and alerting
- Regular security patching and updates
Access control
We implement multiple layers of access control to protect your data:
- Role-based access control (RBAC): define granular permissions for team members, ensuring people only access what they need.
- Secure authentication: industry-standard authentication with support for strong passwords and session management.
- SSO and SAML: enterprise plans support Single Sign-On integration with your identity provider.
- Audit logs: comprehensive logging of user actions for accountability and compliance.
Data isolation
Each organization's data is logically isolated within our systems. Your data is never accessible to other customers. We enforce strict data boundaries at the application and database level to ensure complete separation between organizations.
Application security
We follow security best practices throughout our development lifecycle:
- Secure coding practices aligned with the OWASP Top 10
- Code review requirements for all changes before deployment
- Automated security scanning in our CI/CD pipeline
- Dependency vulnerability monitoring and timely updates
- Input validation and output encoding to prevent injection attacks
- Content Security Policy (CSP) headers to prevent XSS attacks
Organizational security
Security is part of our company culture:
- Security awareness training for all team members
- Principle of least privilege for internal system access
- Background checks for employees with access to production systems

Data privacy
We respect your data ownership and privacy:
- Your data is yours: we never sell, share, or use your data for advertising purposes.
- Data portability: you can export your data at any time in standard formats.
- Data deletion: when you delete your account, your data is removed within 90 days.
- GDPR compliance: we implement appropriate measures to comply with European data protection regulations.
- Chilean data protection: we comply with Law No. 19.628 on the Protection of Private Life.
