Is data encrypted at rest and during transport?

This applies to all PaySpace editions.

All customer data is stored in South Africa and Europe (DR) and is encrypted at rest.

PaySpace is powered by a single instance, multi-tenant architecture, in which all users and applications share a single, common infrastructure i.e. database and code base, but is logically and unique separated for each customer. Authorisation and security policies ensure that each customer’s data is kept separate from that of other customers using a TenantID, which associates each record across multiple tables with an individual tenant.

All data sent to or from PaySpace services is encrypted in transit using 256-bit encryption or greater.
Our API and application endpoints are TLS/SSL only and score an “A+” rating on SSL Labs’ tests. This means we only use strong cipher suites and have features such as HSTS and Perfect Forward Secrecy fully enabled.
