Security & Trust

Built for the trust required to handle rent.

Proprietio moves real money for real landlords every day. This page lists exactly what we do — and openly what we don't (yet) claim. No security theatre.

Controls in production today

Verifiable in our codebase + provider stack. Updated October 2026.

We never see your card

All rent collection runs through Stripe Connect. Card numbers never touch our servers — Stripe holds PCI scope as a Level 1 service provider. We see token IDs only.

TLS encryption in transit

Every request between your browser, the Proprietio app, and our API is HTTPS. HTTP is force-redirected. Strict-Transport-Security headers prevent downgrade attacks.

bcrypt password hashing

Passwords are hashed with bcrypt (cost factor 10) before storage. Even if a database dump leaked, plaintext passwords could not be recovered. We never store, log, or email passwords.

Multi-tenant data isolation

Every record (units, tenants, leases, payments, invoices, owner reports) is scoped by organizationId. Server-side guards reject any cross-org read or write at the route layer — not just the UI.

Role-based access control

Roles for each kind of user — owner, company admin, head of property management, property manager, leasing agent, maintenance lead, accountant, concierge — plus separate portals for property owners and residents. Each role maps to a strict set of allowed routes and operations. Residents only see their own lease, invoices and payments — never another resident's.

Audit trail on sensitive ops

Every sign-in attempt is recorded. Proprietio staff actions on customer accounts go to an append-only security log kept for seven years. Every call to our API is logged, and your admins can read that log in Settings → Developer.

US-based managed hosting

Application + database run on Render in the United States (Oregon). Postgres uses encrypted block storage at rest. Render holds SOC 2 Type II — see render.com/security.

Point-in-time recovery

Postgres can be restored to any point within the last 3 days by our infrastructure provider, and a full export is requested before every deploy and kept at least 7 days. A deploy that would drop data is refused unless explicitly authorized. Off-site backups are not in place yet.

Tenant-side rent protection

When tenants pay through Proprietio, funds settle directly to your Stripe Connect account — never through a Proprietio holding account. We can't freeze, redirect, or hold your rent money.

AI guard-rails (Proprietio AI)

Anything that costs money or sends to a tenant is human-approved. Marketing-spend lifts are hard-capped to the budget you set. The one auto-acting surface is early delinquency reminders — plain email, one-click unsubscribe, full audit trail. See /ai for the full posture.

Payments — how the money flows

We use Stripe Connect with destination charges. When a tenant pays rent, Stripe charges the card and routes the payout directly to your connected Stripe account. Proprietio is the platform — we orchestrate the charge, but we never act as a custodian of your funds.

  • ✓ Card numbers, CVCs, and bank account numbers stay inside Stripe's PCI-DSS Level 1 environment.
  • ✓ Stripe sends payouts on the schedule you set with Stripe — Proprietio cannot delay, redirect, or freeze payouts.
  • ✓ Refund and dispute handling go through Stripe's standard processes.
  • ✓ Offline payments (Zelle, Venmo, wire, check, cash) you record in Proprietio never leave your control either — we just track them.

Honest about what we don't (yet) have

Most security pages list certifications. We list ours — and the ones we haven't earned yet, with the work we're doing in their place. If you need a specific certification today, you'll know before signing up.

SOC 2 Type II
Not yet audited · audit window planned for 2027
What we do instead: Many of the underlying controls run today — role-based access, encrypted credentials, an automated test suite on every change, audit logging on sensitive ops, a written incident-response plan. The formal third-party audit has not started yet.
ISO 27001
Not pursuing in 2026
What we do instead: Limited demand from our US property-management buyer base. We'll re-evaluate alongside SOC 2 Type II depending on enterprise pipeline.
Third-party penetration test
Internal review only · external test before SOC 2
What we do instead: Weekly dependency updates (Dependabot), an automated test suite on every change before it ships, and OWASP Top 10 awareness in the dev process. A formal external pen test is sequenced before the SOC 2 audit window.
24/7 SOC monitoring
Small team, not a SOC
What we do instead: Render monitors the platform layer (uptime, infrastructure-level alerts). We watch application errors and logs ourselves, and critical incidents follow a written incident-response plan.
Bug bounty program
Responsible disclosure only
What we do instead: We accept reports at security@proprietio.com, acknowledge within 2 business days, and credit researchers (with permission) once issues are resolved. No paid bounty yet — that comes after SOC 2.
HIPAA / FedRAMP / PCI-DSS Level 1
Not applicable
What we do instead: We don't process protected health information, US-government workloads, or store cardholder data directly. Card data is held by Stripe (PCI-DSS Level 1). HIPAA and FedRAMP don't apply to our use case.

If your business requires any of the above before adopting a platform, please contact us. We'll tell you exactly where we are on the roadmap and won't waste your evaluation cycle pretending otherwise.

Found a vulnerability? Tell us first.

We follow responsible disclosure. If you believe you've identified a security issue, email security@proprietio.com with a description of the issue, the steps to reproduce, and the affected URL or endpoint.

We commit to acknowledging your report within 2 business days, providing a triage update within 7 days, and crediting you (with your permission) once the issue is resolved. We don't currently offer a paid bug bounty.
