We've gone above and beyond to implement industry-exceeding security standards and are guided by recognized cybersecurity experts that are part of our Advisory Board.

Data Security

Data Encryption

Data in Transit - All data transferred between the user’s browser and leafplanner’s servers is encrypted in transit using TLS.

Data at Rest - Data is encrypted at rest in AWS using AES-256 key encryption. We further protect client data by utilizing ShardSecure's Microshard™ service.

Data Center Security

Data Center Provider - leafplanner uses Amazon Web Services (AWS) to host its production servers, databases, and supporting services.

Multi-Region - leafplanner uses a multi-region setup for its infrastructure. With one AWS region as a primary and another AWS region as a backup.

Application Security
