Security & Compliance

India Payroll Compliance, EPF Labor Law and More

Remzo handles sensitive employee and payroll data for companies across the GCC and India. Here is exactly how we protect it.

Security Architecture

How We Protect Your Data

Six independent layers of security — each one a barrier that must be breached before the next even becomes relevant.

Encryption

AES-256 encryption for all data at rest. TLS 1.3 for data in transit. Every byte of employee data is unreadable to unauthorized parties.

Access Control

Granular role-based access control (RBAC) with mandatory MFA. Least-privilege principle enforced across every user type and API endpoint.

Data Infrastructure

Hosted on ISO 27001-certified cloud infrastructure with multi-region redundancy. Zero shared-tenancy for sensitive payroll data.

Risk Analysis

Continuous vulnerability scanning, quarterly penetration testing, and automated SAST/DAST pipelines integrated into every release.

Data Backup

Automated daily encrypted backups with point-in-time recovery up to 30 days. RPO < 1 hour, RTO < 4 hours across all services.

Incident Response

24/7 security monitoring with a documented incident response plan. Critical incidents escalated and contained within 2 hours of detection.
