Trust & Security
Rostersmith is built with security-first principles. Your data is protected by enterprise-grade infrastructure, strict access controls and complete transparency.
Data Protection
- Complete data isolation between organisations. Each tenant operates in its own secured environment.
- All data encrypted in transit (TLS 1.3) and at rest (AES-256)
- Database hosted on Neon PostgreSQL in EU data centres (Frankfurt)
- Automated daily backups with point-in-time recovery
- Your data is never shared with other tenants or third parties
Authentication & Access Control
- Enterprise-grade authentication powered by Clerk
- Multi-factor authentication (MFA) available for all users
- Single sign-on (SSO) via Google and Apple
- Role-based access control: Admin, Manager and Practitioner
- Each role sees only what they need. Practitioners cannot access admin functions.
- Session management with automatic timeout
Audit & Accountability
- Every action is logged: who changed what, when, old value, new value and reason
- Per-roster and global audit views with search and filtering
- CSV export of audit trails for compliance reporting
- Roster version history: every re-solve creates a new version, nothing is overwritten
- Pre-publish validation ensures constraint compliance before staff see the roster
POPIA Compliance
- Rostersmith is designed to align with the Protection of Personal Information Act (POPIA)
- We collect only the minimum data necessary to provide the scheduling service
- Personal information is processed lawfully and for the specific purpose of roster generation
- Data subjects have the right to access, correct and request deletion of their information
- Our privacy policy details all data processing activities
Infrastructure
- Application hosted on Vercel (global edge network, automatic failover)
- Database on Neon PostgreSQL (EU Frankfurt region)
- Authentication via Clerk (SOC 2 Type II certified)
- Constraint solver on Railway (isolated compute, no data persistence)
- All services connected via encrypted channels
- 99.9% uptime target
