How we protect you

Security built into every layer

Defence in depth across infrastructure, application and operations - so the platform stays secure as your organisation scales.

Encryption everywhere

Data is encrypted in transit with TLS 1.2+ and at rest with AES-256 - the same standards used by banks and government services.

Single sign-on (SSO)

Enterprise plans connect Safety Mate® to your identity provider - one set of company credentials, and access that ends automatically when someone leaves.

Multi-factor authentication

MFA adds a second layer of verification at sign-in, so a stolen password alone is never enough to reach your data.

Granular access control

Role-based permissions scoped by site and responsibility ensure people only ever see the data relevant to their role.

Continuous monitoring

Infrastructure is monitored around the clock with intrusion detection, alerting and a defined incident response process.

Rigorous testing

Regular vulnerability scanning and independent penetration testing probe the platform the way an attacker would - so weaknesses are found and fixed first.

Backups & resilience

Automated, encrypted backups with point-in-time recovery and redundant infrastructure keep your data available and durable.

UK data residency

Your data is hosted in secure, ISO 27001-certified data centres within the UK, with clear ownership and no third-party data selling.

Audit trails & logging

Every key action is captured in a tamper-evident audit log, giving you full traceability for compliance and investigations.

Identity & access

The right people, the right access - nothing more

Access to your safety data is controlled at every step. Sign-in is protected with multi-factor authentication, and Enterprise plans add single sign-on through your identity provider - so joining Safety Mate® is as simple as using the company account your team already has.

  • Single sign-on through your identity provider on Enterprise plans - no separate passwords to manage.
  • Multi-factor authentication protects every sign-in with a second layer of verification.
  • Role-based permissions scope access by site, team and responsibility - least privilege by default.
  • Automatic offboarding - with SSO, access ends the moment someone leaves your organisation.

Always on guard

Monitored, assessed and rigorously tested

Security isn't a one-off exercise. Safety Mate® is consistently monitored, assessed and rigorously tested to ensure we provide the very best service possible - and we strictly adhere to best practice, keeping pace with the latest developments in cloud security and industry guidelines.

24/7 monitoring

Infrastructure is watched around the clock with intrusion detection and real-time alerting, backed by a defined incident response process.

Vulnerability management

Automated scanning runs continuously across the platform and its dependencies, with a rapid patching cadence for anything it finds.

Independent penetration testing

Independent security specialists regularly test the platform the way a real attacker would. Findings are triaged, remediated and re-tested.

Best-practice alignment

Our controls are continually reviewed against industry guidance - including NCSC cloud security principles and OWASP standards - as it evolves.

Responsible AI

AI with governance and human oversight

All AI integrations should always have human oversight. Safety Mate® AI is designed to support your teams, never to replace professional judgement - and you stay in control of how it's used.

  • AI can be disabled as part of all plans if it doesn't fit your governance policies.
  • Every AI output is editable and reviewed by a person before it's relied upon.
  • Your data is not used to train third-party public models.
  • Clear audit trails show where and how AI was applied.
