Built to be trusted with your identity data.
8Layers handles some of the most sensitive data in your security stack. Every architectural and operational decision is made with that responsibility in mind.
Security architecture
Security is built into how 8Layers is designed and operated.
How the platform is built, deployed, and operated to protect customer data.
Multi-tenant by architecture, isolated by design
Every customer environment is logically isolated at the architecture level. Data, configurations, and access are segregated by default.
Encryption everywhere
Customer data is encrypted at rest and in transit using industry-standard algorithms. Cryptographic keys are managed with strict access controls.
Least privilege, internally
Internal access to customer data is granted on a strict need-to-know basis. Every action is logged and reviewed. Multi-factor authentication is mandatory for the 8Layers team.
Continuous security work
Regular internal reviews, third-party assessments, and dependency monitoring. Our security and compliance program is actively maturing, with formal certifications in progress. Specifics are available under NDA.
GDPR-compliant by design
8Layers acts as Data Processor for customer data, processing it strictly on customer instructions and only for the purposes of delivering, maintaining, and securing the service.
Data residency, including on-premises
Customer data for European clients is hosted within the European Economic Area by default. For organizations with strict sovereignty requirements, 8Layers can be deployed entirely on customer infrastructure, on-premises.
AI usage, with clear limits
Some 8Layers features use third-party AI models for tasks like summary generation and prioritization. Customer data is never used to train AI models. Contractual safeguards and processing terms are detailed in the customer agreement.
Data & privacy
Your data, your terms.
Data residency, processing roles, and AI usage.
Security is a shared responsibility.
