Security

Last updated: April 2026

XcapeSuite handles tax-sensitive information for individuals expatriating from the United States. Security is foundational to every product decision we make.

Data protection

  • All traffic is served over TLS 1.2+ with HSTS enabled.
  • Data at rest is encrypted using AES-256 in our managed Postgres database.
  • Sensitive fields (SSN, ITIN, account numbers) are stored encrypted at the column level.
  • Backups are encrypted and retained for 30 days with point-in-time recovery.

Access controls

  • Role-based access enforced through Better Auth with optional two-factor authentication.
  • Production access is limited to a small on-call group; every privileged action is logged.
  • Service-to-service calls authenticate with short-lived signed tokens issued by the auth server.

Infrastructure

  • Hosted on SOC 2-compliant cloud providers.
  • Network isolation between auth, application, and analytics workloads.
  • Continuous dependency scanning and quarterly penetration tests.
