Your HR data lives on the same enterprise infrastructure trusted by global financial institutions. WatuHRM Cloud removes the “single point of failure” risk and shifts the burden of continuous availability and security to vendor-managed experts.
Data encrypted at rest with AES-256 and in transit with TLS 1.3. Encryption keys managed in dedicated KMS — not on application servers.
Database, application, and file storage replicated across availability zones. Auto-failover within seconds of any single-zone failure.
Daily backups copied to a separate geographic region. Instant point-in-time restore. Verified weekly with restore drills.
Vendor-managed SOC continuously hunts for anomalies, brute-force, privilege escalation, and credential leaks. Incidents triaged in minutes.
Every login, data change, payroll run, approval, and export is recorded immutably with user, IP, timestamp — ready for internal audit and regulators.
Org-scoped permissions, least-privilege defaults, session timeouts, password policies, and forced re-authentication for sensitive actions.
SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001, GDPR and Tanzania Data Protection Act–aligned controls. Data residency options available on request.
Security patches deployed automatically with zero scheduled downtime. New features rolled out continuously — no costly upgrade projects.
True data security is not about proximity to your servers; it is a product of specialised engineering, continuous validation, and global legal frameworks. The cloud is no longer the risk — the unmanaged on-premise server is.
