Security

Last updated: January 28, 2026

Our Approach

Security is not a feature—it's foundational. We've designed Simplest1 with security as a core principle, not an afterthought.

Data Isolation

Every tenant's data lives in its own isolated SQLite database. This architecture means:

  • No data leakage between customers is possible at the database level.
  • A vulnerability in one tenant cannot expose another tenant's data.
  • Your data can be exported or deleted completely and independently.

Encryption

  • In transit: All connections use TLS 1.3.
  • At rest: Database backups are encrypted.
  • Passwords: We use magic links—no passwords to steal or leak.

Authentication

We use passwordless authentication via magic links:

  • No passwords to remember, reuse, or have stolen.
  • Magic links expire after 15 minutes.
  • Each link can only be used once.
  • Sessions expire after 24 hours of inactivity.

Infrastructure

  • Hosted on hardened cloud infrastructure.
  • Regular security patches and updates.
  • DDoS protection enabled.
  • Firewall rules restricting unnecessary access.

Application Security

  • CSRF protection: All forms protected with tokens.
  • XSS prevention: All output is escaped by default.
  • SQL injection: Parameterized queries throughout.
  • Security headers: CSP, X-Frame-Options, and more.
  • Rate limiting: Protection against brute force attacks.

Backups

  • Continuous streaming backups using Litestream.
  • Point-in-time recovery capability.
  • Backups stored in geographically separate locations.
  • Regular backup restoration tests.

Incident Response

In the event of a security incident:

  • We will notify affected users within 72 hours.
  • We will provide a clear description of what happened.
  • We will explain what data was affected.
  • We will describe the steps we're taking to prevent recurrence.

Responsible Disclosure

If you discover a security vulnerability, please report it to [email protected]. We appreciate responsible disclosure and will acknowledge your report within 48 hours.
