Trust & Compliance

Everything your procurement, risk and security teams need to evaluate Kilter — and the reason the highest-risk part of vendor due diligence simply doesn't apply to us.

The trust model

There's no Kilter cloud to trust

Most vendor risk reviews exist to answer one question: what happens to our data in the vendor's environment? With Kilter, that question is moot. The software is self-hosted, holds no telemetry, and never calls home — so the certified-environment boundary stays entirely on your side of the line.

We don't operate infrastructure that touches your transactions. What we owe you instead is a secure product and the documentation to prove it — which is exactly what this page is for.

Where the line sits
  • Your data, your database, your encryption key
  • Your VM, your network controls, your backups
  • Your identity provider (optional AD / LDAPS)
  • Our job: a hardened product + the evidence to assess it
Core commitments

What we hold ourselves to.

Data residency by design

Kilter runs on your VM or private cloud. Your reconciliation data never leaves your perimeter — there is no Kilter cloud to trust.

No telemetry, no phone-home

No analytics, no update checks, no outbound calls except the alert channels you explicitly enable (Teams 443, SMTP 587).

Encrypted at rest

TOTP secrets and SMTP credentials are sealed with Fernet (AES-128-CBC + HMAC-SHA256). You hold the key.

Mandatory MFA

TOTP on every login out of the box; pair the optional AD / LDAPS layer for full password-plus-TOTP authentication.

Tamper-evident audit

Every decision is UTC-stamped, blocked from edit/delete by DB triggers, and sealed under chained SHA-256 anchors with a verify endpoint.

Least privilege

Runs as a non-root container (UID 10001), capabilities dropped, read-only rootfs. Maker/checker role model inside the app.

Assurance pack

Documents for your assessors.

We don't publish security internals openly, but we share them quickly with evaluating institutions. Ask and we'll route the right pack to your team.

Secure SDLC

How the software is built

  • Dependencies pinned for reproducible, auditable builds
  • Automated dependency CVE scanning (pip-audit) on every change
  • Static application security testing (bandit) gated in CI
  • Secrets kept out of source; encrypted at rest at runtime
  • /docs, /redoc and /openapi disabled by default in production
  • Rate-limited authentication with a TOTP replay cache
Compliance posture

Where we stand — honestly

PCI-DSS scope reduction. Full PANs never persist — masked to first6 + last4 at the parser seam, with no sensitive authentication data accepted.

Independent penetration testing. Recommended annually and pre-go-live; we provide the RFP scope and support the exercise on your deployment.

SOC 2 / ISO 27001. Kilter is self-hosted, so there is no Kilter-operated production environment to certify — the certified boundary is yours. We map our controls to your framework and supply the evidence your auditors need.

Responsible disclosure

Found a security issue? Report it privately and we'll acknowledge it and work with you on a fix. Please don't test against live customer deployments.

We answer SIG / CAIQ-style questionnaires fast, and we'll walk your risk team through the threat model on a call.
