Security

Our Security Commitment

We use standard security measures, including encryption in transit and at rest, row-level access controls on customer data, and rate limiting. No system is perfectly secure, and we can't guarantee that your data will never be accessed without authorization.

Report a Security Issue

If you discover a security vulnerability, please report it to our security team immediately. We appreciate responsible disclosure and will work with you to address any issues.

Data Encryption

Data is encrypted in transit (HTTPS/TLS) and at rest by our hosting providers. Tokens for connected services are additionally encrypted with AES-256-GCM. Conversations are not end-to-end encrypted.

HTTPS/TLSAES-256-GCM (tokens)

Infrastructure

Aura runs on Google Cloud (Cloud Run) and Supabase. Those providers' infrastructure is independently audited; Aura itself does not hold a SOC 2 or ISO 27001 certification.

  • Database encryption at rest and automated backups by our database provider
  • Secrets managed through Google Secret Manager, not stored in application code

Authentication & Access

  • Secure password hashing using industry-standard algorithms
  • OAuth 2.0 for third-party service connections
  • Rate limiting to prevent brute-force attacks

Monitoring & Auditing

We log security-relevant events and errors and review them when investigating issues. Automated alerting is being set up. Aura has not yet had an independent security audit.

Incident Response

If we confirm a security incident affecting your data, we will notify affected users and, where the law requires, the relevant authorities, generally within 72 hours, with guidance on protective measures.
