Enterprise Security

Built for Enterprise.
Audited. Redundant. Yours to inspect.

Velaro is engineered from the ground up for organizations where security is non-negotiable. Azure-hosted, SOC 2 Type II audit active, AES-256 at rest, TLS 1.3 in transit, and a controls environment your InfoSec team can actually review.

SOC 2 Type II - Audit In Progress

We've completed controls mapping and evidence collection. Our Type II audit period is active. The report is available to enterprise customers and qualified prospects under NDA upon request.

Audit Period Active

We've completed the controls mapping and evidence collection phase. Type I controls have been validated. Our Type II observation period is currently active and ongoing.

The full SOC 2 Type II report will be available to enterprise customers and qualified prospects. We share it under NDA - submit a request and our security team will respond within one business day.

To request the report or a security Q&A session, email security@velaro.com with your organization name and use case.

Azure migration strengthened our control environment. Our 2025 migration to Microsoft Azure significantly enhanced our SOC 2 posture - including native network segmentation, Azure Key Vault for secrets management, centralized audit log completeness, and geo-redundant storage controls that exceed standard SOC 2 requirements.

Trust Services Criteria Covered

Security (CC)

System protected against unauthorized access, both physical and logical. Covers firewalls, WAF, MFA enforcement, and RBAC controls.

Availability (A)

System available for operation as committed. Covers SLA monitoring, incident response, and active-active regional failover architecture.

Confidentiality (C)

Information designated as confidential is protected. Covers tenant isolation, data classification, encryption at rest and in transit.

Encrypted Everywhere. At Every Layer.

Every byte of your data is protected in transit and at rest. We use industry-standard encryption algorithms and allow enterprise customers to manage their own keys.

Encryption in Transit

All connections to and within Velaro are encrypted. No exceptions.

  • TLS 1.2 minimum enforced across all endpoints
  • TLS 1.3 preferred - negotiated automatically for supporting clients
  • HSTS enforced - browsers cache HTTPS-only policy
  • Azure Front Door WAF terminates TLS at the edge
  • Internal service-to-service traffic encrypted via private VNet
  • TLS 1.0 and 1.1 are disabled on all surfaces

Encryption at Rest

All stored data is encrypted. Chat transcripts are tenant-isolated and encrypted at the row level.

  • AES-256 for all data at rest across Azure SQL, Blob, and Redis
  • Azure-managed keys by default - fully managed key rotation
  • BYOK (Bring Your Own Key) available on Enterprise plans via Azure Key Vault
  • Chat transcripts encrypted at rest, tenant-isolated, never co-mingled
  • Passwords are never stored - bcrypt-hashed tokens only
  • Backup encryption matches primary storage standards

Least-Privilege Access. Full Audit Trail.

Enterprise identity integration, fine-grained roles, MFA enforcement, and complete audit logging of every administrative action.

Identity & Authentication

Connect your identity provider. Enforce your policies.

  • SSO via SAML 2.0 - Okta, Azure AD, Google Workspace, Ping, and others
  • OIDC support for modern identity providers
  • SCIM provisioning for automated user lifecycle management
  • MFA enforced for all admin accounts - cannot be disabled
  • MFA enforced for all users on Enterprise plans (configurable)
  • IP allowlisting available as Enterprise add-on
  • Session timeout policies configurable per role

Roles & Audit Logging

Granular roles with a complete, tamper-evident log of every action.

  • Admin - full system configuration access
  • Supervisor - team management, reporting, queue oversight
  • Agent - conversation handling only
  • Analyst - read-only reporting and analytics
  • Read-Only - view without modification rights
  • Every admin action logged: user, timestamp, IP address, change detail
  • Audit logs are immutable and retained per your data retention policy

Questions We Hear from InfoSec Teams

Answers to the questions that come up in every enterprise security review.

No. Velaro does not sell, license, share, or monetize customer data in any form. Your data - including all conversations, contact records, and usage data - is used exclusively to provide you the Velaro service. We do not use it to train AI models without explicit opt-in, and we do not provide it to third parties for advertising or analytics purposes.
By default, data is stored in the United States on Azure East US (primary) with replication to Azure West US. For GDPR compliance or data sovereignty requirements, EU data residency is available on qualifying plans - data is stored in Azure EU West (Frankfurt, Germany). Additional regions are available for enterprise customers with specific residency requirements. Contact your account manager to configure data residency before your account goes live.
Yes. Velaro provides a Business Associate Agreement (BAA) as part of our HIPAA compliance package, included with Enterprise Plus contracts. The package covers the BAA, enhanced audit logging, extended data retention, dedicated compliance review, and HIPAA-specific controls configuration. BAAs require an executed Enterprise Plus agreement — they are not available on self-service or standard plans. Contact sales@velaro.com to discuss Enterprise Plus terms.
Yes. Enterprise prospects are welcome to conduct security due diligence. We provide the SOC 2 Type II report under NDA, CAIQ questionnaire responses, annual penetration test summary findings, and architecture documentation. A live security Q&A session with our engineering team is available for qualifying enterprise prospects. Vendor security questionnaires in SIG format are scoped as part of an enterprise agreement — they require a signed contract and are not fulfilled on an ad-hoc or pre-sales basis. Email security@velaro.com with your organization name and use case to begin.
Upon cancellation, you have a 30-day window to export all your data through the admin console. Exports include full conversation transcripts, contact records, team configuration, and analytics data in structured format. After the 30-day window, all data - including backups and disaster recovery copies - is permanently purged. You will receive a written deletion confirmation upon request.
Yes. Velaro undergoes annual penetration testing conducted by an independent third-party security firm. The scope covers our production web application, API endpoints, authentication flows, and infrastructure configuration. Summary findings and remediation evidence are available to enterprise customers under NDA as part of the security review package. We also conduct internal red team exercises on a quarterly basis.
