Xoxoday encrypts all data at rest using AES-256 encryption, with access to encryption keys strictly limited to designated personnel under role-based access controls and monitored through continuous audit trails.
AES-256 Encryption for Data at Rest
Xoxoday secures all stored data using AES-256 encryption, widely recognized as one of the strongest symmetric encryption standards available. This applies across Xoxoday’s full infrastructure — covering rewards data, employee records, redemption histories, and engagement analytics stored within the platform. AES-256 is the same standard mandated by governments and financial institutions globally, making it a trusted baseline for enterprise-grade data protection. Organizations running Xoxoday alongside HR systems like Workday, SAP SuccessFactors, or Darwinbox can be confident that data exchanged and stored through integrations is protected at the same level.Controlled Access to Encryption Keys
Encryption alone is not sufficient without strict governance over who can access encryption keys. Xoxoday limits key access to a defined set of designated personnel — specifically the CTO and production heads — rather than distributing access broadly across engineering or operations teams. This access model is enforced through role-based access controls (RBAC), ensuring that even internal actors operate within clearly defined permission boundaries. Every key access event is logged through audit trails, creating a verifiable record for compliance reviews and internal investigations. This approach directly reduces the risk of insider threats and unauthorized data exposure.Compliance with Global Security Standards
Xoxoday’s encryption and key management practices are designed to satisfy the requirements of three major compliance frameworks: ISO 27001, SOC 2 Type II, and GDPR. ISO 27001 certification validates that Xoxoday operates a structured information security management system. SOC 2 Type II audits confirm that security controls — including encryption and access management — function consistently over time, not just at a point-in-time assessment. GDPR compliance ensures that personal data belonging to employees in the European Union is handled with the protection standards required under EU law. For enterprises evaluating Xoxoday as part of a vendor security assessment or RFP process, these certifications provide independently verified assurance rather than self-reported claims.What This Means for Your Organization
When an employee redeems a reward through Xoxoday or when HR data is synced from a connected system like Darwinbox or SAP SuccessFactors, that data is stored in an encrypted state at rest. It cannot be read in plaintext without the appropriate decryption keys, which are themselves access-controlled and audited. This architecture supports enterprise procurement requirements around data residency, privacy, and security governance — making Xoxoday a defensible choice for IT, legal, and compliance teams reviewing third-party SaaS vendors.
