Security

Your data. Our responsibility.

Cassian™ handles sensitive store data every day. We take that seriously. Here's exactly how we protect your information, who has access, and what our commitments are.

Data protection

What we collect and what we don't.

What we collect

  • Store URL and basic store metadata
  • Product data, collections, and metafields (via platform connector)
  • Rendered page content for analysis (transient — not stored after scoring)
  • Scan results, scores, and identified issues
  • Account information (email, organisation name)

What we don’t collect

  • Customer personal data or order information
  • Payment card details (handled entirely by our payment processor)
  • Platform admin credentials or passwords
  • Customer browsing behaviour or analytics
  • Any data beyond the scopes you authorise

Infrastructure

Built on trusted providers.

Application hosting

Hosted on a global edge network with automatic HTTPS, DDoS protection, and CDN. Requests are served from the nearest edge location worldwide, including Europe.

Database

Managed PostgreSQL with row-level security (RLS) enforced at the database layer. Every query is scoped to the authenticated user’s organisation. Hosted in the United States. EU region on the roadmap.

File storage

Screenshots and reports stored on encrypted object storage. Encrypted at rest, served via global CDN with signed URLs.

Cassian Shield™

We scan your store for vulnerabilities too.

Cassian Shield™ runs enterprise-grade passive vulnerability scanning against your storefront. Results are translated into plain English with severity classification — no security expertise required.

Cross-site scripting (XSS) detection

Missing security headers

Cookie misconfiguration

Clickjacking vulnerabilities

Content Security Policy analysis

Available on all paid tiers

Encryption & access control

Defence in depth.

Encryption in transit

All data in transit is encrypted with TLS 1.3. Every connection to Cassian — from browser to API to platform connector — is encrypted end-to-end. We enforce HTTPS everywhere with HSTS preload.

Encryption at rest

All data at rest is encrypted with AES-256. Database volumes, file storage, and backups are all encrypted. Encryption keys are managed by our infrastructure providers and rotated automatically.

Role-based access control

Database queries are scoped to the authenticated user's organisation via row-level security (RLS). Internal team access follows least-privilege principles with audit logging on all data access.

Authentication

Passwordless authentication via one-time codes. No passwords to steal, no credentials to leak. SSO (SAML) for Enterprise customers is on the roadmap.

AI & LLM data handling

Your store data is never used for model training.

Cassian AI™ uses commercial LLM APIs for content analysis, translation quality scoring, and issue detection. All interactions happen via commercial API endpoints with enterprise-grade data handling agreements.

Our AI providers do not train on data submitted via their commercial APIs.

All data processing is transient — page content is sent for analysis and discarded after scoring.

We do not store raw prompts or responses beyond the structured results (scores, issues, suggestions).

No customer data is shared with third parties for advertising, profiling, or any purpose beyond the analysis you authorised.

GDPR

GDPR compliance is not optional for us.

Cassian is designed for global ecommerce. Many of our customers operate in the EU and UK, and we treat GDPR compliance as a baseline requirement, not an add-on.

EU data residency (planned)

Data currently hosted in US East. EU region on the roadmap for EU/UK customers.

Data Processing Agreement

DPA available on request for all paying customers.

Right to erasure

Close your account and all data is deleted within 30 days.

Platform GDPR webhooks

We implement all mandatory platform GDPR webhooks including customer data requests, customer redaction, and shop redaction.

Compliance

Where we stand.

Now

GDPR compliant

Full GDPR compliance via Data Privacy Framework (DPF) and Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs). Data Processing Agreement (DPA) available on request. Right to erasure via account closure — all data deleted within 30 days. EU data residency on the roadmap.

Vulnerability disclosure

If you've found a security vulnerability in Cassian, we want to hear about it. We take all reports seriously and will respond within 24 hours. Please do not disclose vulnerabilities publicly before we've had a chance to address them.
