Infrastructure Security

Hosting & Data Residency

Our services are hosted on Hetzner infrastructure across multiple regions. For customers with data residency requirements, we offer EU-only hosting to ensure your data never leaves European jurisdiction.

Network Security & DDoS Protection

Tiptap employs multiple layers of network protection:

Encryption

At rest:

All customer data is encrypted at rest using AES-256. Encryption happens at both the application level and within our databases, with separate private keys for each environment.

In transit:

All data transmitted to and from Tiptap services is encrypted using TLS. We enforce HTTPS across all endpoints.

Application-level encryption:

Sensitive data is encrypted within the application before storage, providing an additional security layer beyond database encryption.

Data Protection

Backups

All customer data is backed up regularly with point-in-time recovery capabilities. Backups are:

Data Isolation

Customer data is logically isolated at the application and database levels. Each customer's documents and collaboration data are segregated to prevent cross-tenant access.

Access Controls

Role-Based Access Control (RBAC)

The Tiptap Cloud dashboard supports granular role-based permissions, allowing you to control who can access and modify your organization's resources, billing, and settings.

Authentication

Internal Access

Tiptap employees operate under the principle of least privilege. Access to production systems and customer data is restricted, logged, and auditable. We conduct regular access reviews and require multi-factor authentication for all internal systems.

Vulnerability Management

Penetration Testing

We engage independent security firms to conduct regular penetration tests of our infrastructure and applications. Enterprise customers can request access to our latest penetration testing summary upon request.

Dependency Scanning

Our CI/CD pipelines include automated dependency scanning to identify and remediate known vulnerabilities in third-party packages before deployment.

We maintain continuous monitoring of our systems for security anomalies, with automated alerting and incident response procedures.
