UAE data residency
All customer data is stored on AWS in the UAE region (me-central-1). Your property, tenant, and financial data never leaves the UAE by default.
Your property data is sensitive. Here is exactly how we protect it.
All customer data is stored on AWS in the UAE region (me-central-1). Your property, tenant, and financial data never leaves the UAE by default.
Data is encrypted in transit using TLS 1.2+ and at rest using AES-256. Database backups are encrypted and stored in the same UAE region.
We are currently pursuing SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 certification. Enterprise customers on the Premium plan receive audit reports upon request.
Aqaris runs on Amazon Web Services (AWS) in the me-central-1 (UAE) region. We use managed services with automatic patching, private networking (VPC), and least-privilege IAM policies. Production infrastructure is isolated from staging and development environments.
All access to production systems requires multi-factor authentication (MFA). Role-based access controls (RBAC) ensure staff can only access systems required for their role. Access is reviewed quarterly and revoked immediately upon off-boarding. Customer data is logically isolated by tenant — no customer can access another customer's data.
We follow OWASP secure development guidelines. Code changes are reviewed before deployment. We run automated vulnerability scanning as part of our CI/CD pipeline. Dependency updates are monitored and applied on a regular cadence.
Aqaris does not store raw card numbers. Payment processing is handled by PCI-DSS certified gateways (Telr, PayTabs, Noqoodi, Stripe). Aqaris operates as a merchant of record or pass-through depending on your plan and gateway configuration.
We maintain automated daily backups with point-in-time recovery. Our recovery time objective (RTO) target is 4 hours and recovery point objective (RPO) is 1 hour. Disaster recovery is tested at minimum annually.
We maintain a documented incident response plan. In the event of a data breach that affects your organisation, we will notify you within 72 hours of becoming aware of the incident, in line with applicable regulations.
If you discover a security vulnerability in Aqaris, we ask that you report it to us responsibly before public disclosure. Please email security@aqaris.com with details of the vulnerability. We will acknowledge receipt within 2 business days and work with you to resolve the issue.
We do not pursue legal action against good-faith security researchers who follow this policy.
