How HoneyBook protects your data
HoneyBook leverages leading tools from Amazon Web Services (AWS) to manage security and access controls, in line with industry best practices. All of HoneyBook’s servers are within a virtual private cloud (VPC) with network access control lists (ACLs) that prevent unauthorized requests from getting to the internal network.
HoneyBook uses Advanced Encryption Standard (AES 256) to encrypt data at rest and Transport Layer Security (TLS) to encrypt data in transit. This ensures that all traffic between you/your clients and HoneyBook is secure during transit and at rest.
HoneyBook uses third-party security tools to continuously scan for vulnerabilities. An internal dedicated security team responds to issues raised.
Twice yearly HoneyBook engages third-party security experts to perform detailed penetration tests on the HoneyBook application and infrastructure.
HoneyBook accepts external vulnerability reports that are submitted by security researchers through the [email protected] email address.
HoneyBook’s payment system integrates with Stripe, allowing both private individuals and businesses to accept payments over the Internet. Stripe has been audited by a PCI-certified auditor and is certified to PCI Service Provider Level 1. This is the most stringent level of certification available in the payments industry. Details about their security setup and PCI compliance can be found on Stripe’s security page.
When using HoneyBook's payment system, all sensitive data is transferred directly to Stripe servers over a secured and encrypted channel, fully complying with US regulations. HoneyBook does not store bank accounts or credit card info.
