Security & trust

Assignee data, treated like it matters.

Relocation programmes hold some of an employee's most personal information, home addresses, family details, schedules. Here is exactly how IKAN protects it, where it lives, and who we work with. Honestly stated, including what we have not certified yet.

Where we stand today

Compliance status, stated honestly

We will not claim certifications we do not hold. This reflects our posture as of this quarter and is updated as it changes.

Our SOC 2 Type I audit is in progress with our auditor, we are happy to share current status and our roadmap under NDA during a security review. We do not currently hold SOC 2 Type II or ISO 27001 certification.

Security posture

How the platform is built

Defense-in-depth across authentication, data access, and the assignee experience.

1

Encryption everywhere

AES-256 at rest and TLS 1.3 in transit. Assignee PII is never stored or transmitted in the clear.

2

Row-level security

Postgres row-level security on Supabase scopes every record to its owner, consultants only ever see their own assignees.

3

Password-less assignee access

Assignees enter via a consultant-issued secure link or an allow-listed email, no shared passwords to leak or phish.

4

Enterprise SSO

Consultants sign in with Microsoft or Google SSO. Okta is on the roadmap for Q3 2026.

5

Audit trail & versioning

Timestamped programme snapshots, full change history, and exportable CSV metadata for ops and finance review.

6

Least-privilege publishing

A programme only becomes shareable once sign-in addresses are set, so links never go to an unverified inbox.

Data residency & privacy

Where your data lives, and how long

Regional hosting and a documented data lifecycle, configurable to your jurisdiction.

1

Regional hosting

Data is hosted in Supabase EU-Central and India regions, configurable per deployment to meet your residency requirements.

2

GDPR-aligned processing

Our data processing is aligned to GDPR, with DPDP-India readiness for assignee PII. We support data-subject requests.

3

Defined retention

Secure assignee links expire (30 days by default), and programme data follows a documented lifecycle rather than living forever.

Sub-processors

Who we work with

The third parties that process data on IKAN's behalf. We keep this list short and current.
