Infrastructure & Certifications
Shiftsheet runs on Vultr, a high-performance cloud platform known for reliable, secure infrastructure, including options for Australian data residency. Their enterprise-grade certifications include:- SOC 2 Type II (with HIPAA alignment)
- ISO/IEC 27001:2022 (Information Security Management)
- ISO 27017 & 27018 (Cloud security & PII protection)
- GDPR-compliant practices & DDoS protection
Data Security & Privacy
- Encryption: Data is encrypted in transit (TLS 1.2+) and at rest.
- Access Controls: Role-based access (Employee / Manager / Admin) enforcing least-privilege principles. MFA (email OTP) on login.
- Australian Focus: Built for Fair Work Act compliance, securing timesheets, leave balances, and payroll exports.
- Data Minimisation: We collect and process only the employee and timesheet data strictly necessary.
Operational Security
- Authentication: Every login is verified with a one-time email OTP. New companies can sign up directly, but joining an existing company as an employee, manager, or admin is invite-only via a secure emailed token — no one can join another company’s workspace without an invitation.
- Auditing: Timesheet approvals, leave requests, and system changes are securely logged for accountability.
- Resilience: Automated backups and redundant infrastructure for robust business continuity.
- Mobile Access: Secure browser-based access (no dedicated app required), keeping local devices safe.
Customer Best Practices
Security is a shared responsibility. We recommend customers:- Use strong, unique email passwords and enable all available verification steps.
- Review and approve timesheets and leave requests promptly.
- Export sensitive reports securely and manage local copies responsibly.
- Control user invitations, roles, and company settings diligently.
