Enterprise Security and Privacy at AirMason

AirMason Inc. successfully receives SOC 2 Type II attestation report

September 30th, 2024

We’re pleased to announce the completion of Airmason’s 2024 SOC 2 Type II audit. The SOC 2 Type II Audit is a comprehensive 3rd party objective audit that addresses security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, privacy, as well as strict internal controls.

Audit Criteria: What HR Leaders Need to Know

SOC 2 (Service Organization Control 2) is an auditing procedure that ensures service providers securely manage data. For HR professionals, it's crucial in safeguarding employee information. The audit covers five key areas:

Security: Protecting HR systems and employee data from unauthorized access.
Availability: Ensuring the AirMason platform is accessible when needed.
Processing Integrity: Guaranteeing HR data processing is accurate and timely.
Confidentiality: Safeguarding sensitive information at all times, and limiting access.
Privacy: Handling personal employee information responsibly and having best-in-class encryption.

Airmason has been granted certifications without exceptions by an independent auditor, validating our robust, company-wide security and compliance measures. This unqualified approval reinforces our commitment to comprehensive safeguards and our status as a trusted partner.

Data Protection

Data at rest

All datastores with customer data, in addition to Google buckets, are encrypted at rest. Sensitive collections and tables also use row-level encryption with Google MySQL Cloud.

This means the data is encrypted even before it hits the Google Cloud Database so that neither physical access, nor logical access to the database, is enough to read the most sensitive information.

Data in transit

AirMason uses TLS 1.2 or higher everywhere data is transmitted over potentially insecure networks. Server TLS keys and certificates are managed by GCP and deployed via Application Load Balancers.

Data compliance

Security

Security Education

AirMason provides comprehensive security training to all employees upon onboarding and annually through educational modules within its security partner, Vanta.

In addition, all new employees attend a mandatory live onboarding session centered around key security principles. All new engineers also attend a mandatory live onboarding session focused on secure coding principles and practices.

AirMason's engineering team shares regular threat briefings, phishing attempt examples with employees to inform them of important security and safety-related updates that require special attention or action.

Identity & Access Management

AirMason uses Google Workspaces to secure our identity and access management.

We enforce the use of phishing-resistant authentication factors, using WebAuthn exclusively wherever possible.

AirMason employees are granted access to applications based on their role, and automatically deprovisioned upon termination of their employment. Further access must be approved according to the policies set for each application.

Product Security

Penetration Testing

AirMason engages with 3rd party penetration testing consulting firms in the industry at least annually.

Our current preferred penetration testing partner is Packet Labs.

All areas of the AirMason product and cloud infrastructure are in-scope for these assessments, and source code is fully available to the testers in order to maximize the effectiveness and coverage.

We make summary penetration test reports available to all our enterprise clients upon request.

Vulnerability Scanning

AirMason requires vulnerability scanning at key stages of our Secure Development Lifecycle (SDLC).

• We do both human as well as AI (Momentic) testing of code during pull requests and on an ongoing basis.

• Malicious dependency scanning to prevent the introduction of malware into our software supply chain.

• Container Analysis of running applications.

• Network vulnerability scanning on a period basis.
