More information

Application, systems and software

Your connection to Avvoka (including API access) is secure and encrypted using HTTPS. This is the same level of encryption used by leading banks and government agencies. Your documents are also stored and encrypted at rest using AES – 256 bit encryption. Each one is encrypted with a unique initialisation vector. As an additional safeguard, each key is encrypted with a regularly rotated master key.

Annual penetration testing

Each year, the application is subject to black-box penetration testing. Only CREST-approved providers are appointed. Copies of our latest scorecard are made available to clients on request.
