Our Security Framework

Security is one of the most important things we do – here’s our framework to comply with industry standard controls and ensure the highest level of security. 

Least privilege

Access to organizational resources and information should be granted on a need-to-know basis.

Defense-in-depth

Organizational security is layered to provide multiple levels of protection.

Risk management

Organizational security is based on an assessment of the potential risks and threats faced by Float.

Compliance

Float complies with all applicable laws, regulations, and industry standards related to security.

Product Security

We are continuously implementing security measures that ensure the confidentiality, integrity, and protection of all sensitive data.

Float abides by the highest standard of security in the storage, processing, and transmission of cardholder data. We worked with a Qualified Security Assessor to confirm that we comply with the requirements under PCI-DSS and receive our PCI-DSS SAQ D Report & Attestation of Compliance (AOC).

Float implements encryption, access control, and monitoring to mitigate risks of digital storage not actively being processed or transmitted.

Float uses TLS 1.2 or higher encryption to transmit data. Server TLS keys and certificates are managed through AWS.

Float engages with industry leaders Detectify for penetration tests, who are a fully automated External Attack Surface Management solution powered by a world-leading ethical hacker community.

Float undergoes vulnerability scanning at key stages of our Secure Development Lifecycle (SDLC) to actively monitor threats, including network vulnerability scanning on a period basis, malicious dependency scanning to prevent the introduction of malware into our software supply chain, and Intrusion Detection & Prevention powered by AWS GuardDuty.

Corporate Security

Float is committed to ensuring the highest standards of security tools and training for our product and team.

Float successfully completed the AICPA Service Organization Control (SOC) 2 Type 2 audit. The audit confirms that Float’s information security practices, policies, procedures, and operations meet the SOC 2 standards for security.

Float uses Okta to secure our identity and access management. Float employees are granted access to applications based on their role. Access must be approved according to the policies set for each application.

We have implemented firewalls to protect our systems from unauthorized access. Our firewalls are regularly updated to ensure they are up-to-date and provide the highest level of protection.

Our systems are updated regularly with the latest security patches to ensure that any vulnerabilities are addressed promptly.

Our employees receive regular training on security protocols and best practices to ensure they are aware of potential security risks and how to mitigate them.

Float uses a risk management approach to vendor security. Vendors are reviewed and evaluated regularly based on access to customer and corporate information, integration with production environments, and reputational damage. All vendors that we engage with have completed an information security assessment standard such as: SOC 2 or ISO 27001 certification.
