Security & compliance,
built into how we deliver.

LeanScale embeds delivery teams inside our clients' own SaaS tenants. We retain minimal data, operate as a data processor under each client's DPA, and run on SOC 2-attested infrastructure. This is our posture, in plain sight.

01 — Security overview

Controls in place today.

LeanScale provides human talent, not software. Customer production data resides in each client's own SaaS tenants — primarily Salesforce. Our internal footprint is small and runs on attested providers. Everything below is operating now.

Identity & access

  • SSO via IdP (Rippling / Google)
  • Enforced multi-factor authentication
  • Bitwarden password manager, unique named accounts
  • Least-privilege onboarding / offboarding
  • Quarterly access reviews

Endpoints

  • Rippling MDM — inventory + enforcement
  • Full-disk encryption
  • SentinelOne EDR
  • Host firewall, auto-lock
  • Remote wipe

People

  • Background checks for all hires
  • Signed agreements + NDAs
  • Annual security-awareness training
  • Phishing simulations (Rippling LMS)

Data

  • Encryption in transit (TLS 1.2+)
  • Encryption at rest (AES-256) via platforms
  • Platform backups
  • Standard client DPAs — scope, confidentiality, breach notice, data return

Change & resilience

  • Git + pull-request review, CI/CD
  • Separate prod / non-prod
  • Documented Incident Response and BC/DR plans
  • Maintained risk register

Governance

  • CSA CAIQ v4.0.3 self-assessment
  • Standard DPAs with sub-processors
  • Annual documentation review
  • Honest, published SOC 2 roadmap

CAIQ v4.0.3 self-assessment

Our latest CSA CAIQ self-assessment covers 261 items. The 25 "No" answers are our honest SOC 2 roadmap — see Roadmap. The full workbook is available on request.

02 — Sub-processors

The register.

These sub-processors support LeanScale's internal operations and engagements. Client CRM and similar data primarily resides in the client's own tenant; this register reflects the services LeanScale uses on its own behalf. All are SOC 2 (and where noted, ISO 27001) attested, with DPAs in place.

VendorPurposeData handledRegionAttestationDPA

If a sub-processor notifies LeanScale of a breach affecting data processed on a client's behalf, we relay the relevant details to affected clients per the applicable DPA. The client remains the data controller.

03 — Shared responsibility

Three parties. No assumed coverage.

Because LeanScale's people work inside client-owned environments operated by third-party platforms, security responsibility is shared three ways. Each area has a designated primary owner — no control is assumed to be handled by someone else.

Processor
LeanScale
// owns its corporate security

Identity & access for its staff, endpoint security, personnel screening & training, and how its people handle client data. Processes client data only on the client's documented instructions.

Controller
Client
// owns the tenant & the data

Its SaaS tenants, the data in them, tenant configuration, and all data-controller duties under applicable privacy law. Classifies its data and grants LeanScale the specific access an engagement requires.

Infrastructure
Sub-processors
// own the platform layer

SOC 2-attested platforms — Salesforce, Supabase/AWS, Netlify, Google, and similar — own and attest the physical, network, and platform/application security underpinning the systems in scope.

The full responsibility matrix — encryption, configuration, change management, incident response, backups — is in our Shared Responsibility Model document, available on request.

04 — Security FAQ

Straight answers.

Customer production data resides in each client's own SaaS tenants (primarily Salesforce), hosted in the US by SOC 2-attested providers. LeanScale holds minimal data and acts as a data processor. Our own small app footprint runs on Supabase/AWS and Netlify (US).
Data is encrypted in transit using TLS 1.2+ and at rest using AES-256, provided by the underlying platforms. Encryption capability is owned by our sub-processors; LeanScale and clients use and configure it within scope.
Yes. We use SSO via our IdP (Rippling/Google) with enforced MFA, unique named accounts, a Bitwarden password manager, least-privilege onboarding/offboarding, and quarterly access reviews. We access client environments only with the client's grant and approval.
Our current sub-processors are listed in the register above — Salesforce, Supabase/AWS, Netlify, Google Workspace, Slack, GitHub, Bitwarden, Rippling, and SentinelOne. We review the register at least annually.
We maintain a documented Incident Response & Breach Notification plan. If a sub-processor reports an incident affecting client data, we relay the relevant details to affected clients within the timelines set out in the applicable DPA. Because client data lives in the client's tenant, the client remains the controller and handles any regulatory or end-user notifications, with our cooperation.
Not yet. SOC 2 Type II is on our roadmap, not certified today. We rely on the SOC 2 attestations of our infrastructure sub-processors, and we maintain our own controls and a CSA CAIQ self-assessment. The CAIQ "No" answers transparently map to our SOC 2 roadmap items.
