Trust & governance

Serious about your data

Every layer of Sidelight — infrastructure, database, delivery, and identity — runs on SOC 2–audited platforms. Built for financial services from day one.

The stack underneath

Amazon Web ServicesSOC 2 · ISO 27001
Cloud infrastructure

Compute and storage run on AWS — SOC 2 and ISO 27001 audited infrastructure trusted by the world's largest financial institutions.

MongoDB AtlasSOC 2 Type II
Database

Your data lives in MongoDB Atlas with encryption at rest and in transit, automated backups, and SOC 2 Type II attestation.

VercelSOC 2 Type II
Application delivery

The application layer is delivered through Vercel's SOC 2 Type II–audited edge platform, with TLS on every connection.

ClerkSOC 2 Type II
Authentication

Sign-in and session management are handled by Clerk, a dedicated SOC 2 Type II–audited identity platform — credentials never touch our servers.

Encrypted everywhere

Data is encrypted in transit (TLS) and at rest across the entire platform — no exceptions, no legacy paths.

Your data stays yours

Strict access controls and full auditability. Your contracts and spend data are used to serve your firm — nothing else.

Stronger governance

AI-powered data validation with a clear audit trail: who changed what, when, and why — across every contract and invoice.

Works with your stack

Sidelight complements your existing market data workflows and systems — enhancing them, not replacing them.
