What is SOC 2?

The purpose of this report is to evaluate an organization’s information systems relevant to security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, and privacy.

What the Alloy SOC 2 Report?

How can I request specific merchant data be deleted in Embedded?

We provide compliance endpoints which are better described in our API reference. These endpoints allow you to search for a specific user and wipe all data from Alloy servers for that account.

How is data stored at rest?

All data is encrypted at rest using bank-level AES-256 bit encryption. All information is encrypted in tranit with TLS/SSL. We've received a A score from Qualys SSL Labs.

How can I ensure that an outgoing request from Alloy is really coming from Alloy and not being spoofed?

We provide an RSA signature you can reconstruct which is signed against our public key. This allows you to always ensure outgoing requests are coming from Alloy.

Do you support SSO?

Yes! We support Google and Shopify Single Sign On (SSO).

How do you internally audit code at Alloy?

We audit code a number of ways to mitigate the chances that bugs are ever seen in production: every line of code undergoes a peer review, has to pass a battery of automated test cases, manual quality assurance and static code analysis.

Do you undergo penetration tests?

Yes! We regularly undergo routine penetration tests to ensure our ongoing SOC 2 compliance and work to quickly remedy any penetration tests findings.
