How Vela encrypts your data

TLS in transit, AWS KMS at rest, isolated per tenant.

In transit

All connections use TLS 1.2+. HSTS is enforced on all production hostnames. Internal AWS service-to-service traffic is also encrypted with the AWS SigV4 signed connection.

At rest

  • DynamoDB is encrypted with AWS-managed KMS keys.
  • Secrets (M365 / Xero refresh tokens, Stripe API keys) are stored in AWS Secrets Manager with envelope encryption.
  • Object storage (backups, attachments) is encrypted with KMS and access is restricted by IAM policy.

Tenant isolation

Every record is keyed by TENANT#<tenantId>. Every Lambda reads the tenantId only from the verified Cognito JWT — never from request input. See our security as-built doc (request a copy if you need it for procurement).
