Highest priority

Keeping our customers’ data secure is the most important thing that Legito does, and keeping Legito secure is fundamental to the nature of our business.

We do not store any application’s passwords or keys in plain text.

We follow best practices

At Legito we follow best practices that improve our security posture, including:

  • We have functioning, frequently-used automation in place so that we can safely and reliably roll out changes to our application within minutes. We have high confidence that we can get a security fix out quickly if necessary.
  • We use market standard technologies to provide an audit trail over our infrastructure and the Legito application. Auditing allows us to do ad-hoc security analysis, track changes made to our setup and audit access to every layer of our stack.
