Security

Secure to our core

Data protection and information security sit at the very heart of everything we do. So your data is protected in transit and at rest, and we’re continuously testing our infrastructure to make sure our tech stays security-first in everything. 

We don't sell your data to third parties without your consent. It's just not what we do here at Blinq. Your data is yours to share with your network.

All data sent to and from Blinq is encrypted in transit using TLS 1.2 or higher. Data at rest is encrypted using industry-standard encryption, including AES-256. TLS certificates are issued by trusted certificate authorities, including Google Trust Services and Let’s Encrypt.

Logging & monitoring

We maintain centralized logging and continuous monitoring across our systems to detect unusual activity and respond quickly to potential security events. Logs are access-controlled and retained according to defined policies, and automated alerts support timely investigation and remediation.

Backups

We save daily backups of critical systems and data. Backups are encrypted and periodically tested to validate recovery procedures and support business continuity.

We restrict access to data, servers and networks based on role and business need. Single sign-on (SSO), multi-factor authentication (MFA) and strong password requirements are enforced across systems that support Blinq.

All employees complete security awareness training at least annually. All company-issued devices are centrally managed and monitored to maintain security standards.
