Greenly Security Policy: Our Commitment to Data Excellence

Keeping your data secure is our highest priority. At Greenly, we believe it is our duty to ensure the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of your environmental data. We apply market-leading security standards and continuously monitor our controls with Vanta, Wiz, and Datadog.
Greenly is ISO/IEC 27001 certified and SOC 2 Type II attested by Sensiba. Our Information Security Management System (ISMS) covers our B2B Carbon Accounting SaaS platform and all supporting internal processes.

🛡️ Security by Design

Greenly is committed to keeping your data safe and out of the hands of those without authorization. We operate an ISMS aligned with ISO/IEC 27001: 2022 and follow a "Security-by-Design" philosophy throughout our development lifecycle.

  • Hardened Endpoints: We use company-managed and hardened macOS devices for our teams, with enforced security baselines via Kandji MDM, including disk encryption (FileVault) and automatic security patching

  • Cloud Infrastructure: Our 100% cloud-based infrastructure (primarily GCP in France) is protected by VPC Service Controls, intrusion detection (IDS), and continuous vulnerability scanning

  • Real-time Monitoring: We use Datadog SIEM to collect and correlate logs from all services, enabling our team to detect and respond to suspicious activity immediately

  • Vulnerability Management: We perform annual penetration tests with Synacktiv, a French leader in security audits, and use Dependabot to track and remediate vulnerabilities in our library dependencies

  • Cloud Native Security (CNAPP): We utilize Wiz to provide full-stack visibility into our cloud infrastructure and automatically identifying risks.


🔒 Confidentiality & Data Sovereignty

Your data is encrypted both at rest and in transit to ensure total privacy.

  • Data Residency: Data is hosted primarily on secure Google Cloud Platform (GCP) ** infrastructure in France (Europe-West9)** to ensure strict European data sovereignty

  • Encryption Standards: All databases (PostgreSQL, MongoDB) and file systems use AES-256 encryption at rest

  • Secure Transit: All external connections to the Greenly platform are protected by TLS 1.3+ encryption-Identity & Access: We rely on Auth0 and Google Workspace SSO as our central identity providers, enforcing Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) across all production systems. Access is granted strictly on a least-privilege, need-to-know basis and is reviewed quarterly


✅ Data Integrity

We maintain strict controls over who can access and modify your data to ensure it remains intact and accurate.

  • Role-Based Access Control (RBAC): Access rights are assigned according to specific roles (e.g., Climate Expert, Developer, Administrator) and are formally verified prior to granting

  • Change Management: Changes to critical systems follow a documented**Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) **. This includes mandatory peer reviews, automated unit testing (approx. 500 tests), and visual regression testing via Cypress

  • Automated Backups: We perform hourly backups of customer data, which are encrypted and stored in a separate geographic region to protect against catastrophic loss


🚀 High Availability & Resilience

Our infrastructure is designed to be resilient, minimizing downtime and ensuring your carbon reports are always accessible.

  • Redundancy: We utilize managed services and redundant architectures (Load Balancing and Failover) in GCP to eliminate single points of failure

  • DDoS Protection: Our platform is protected by Cloudflare at the edge to mitigate network and application-layer attacks

  • Disaster Recovery: We maintain and regularly test a formal Business Continuity Plan (BCP) ** and Disaster Recovery Plan (DRP)** to ensure service restoration within defined objectives (RTO/RPO)


🇪🇺 Privacy & Compliance

As a European company, Greenly is a champion of privacy and strictly complies with the GDPR and other applicable data protection laws.

  • Transparency: We maintain a detailed Record of Processing Activities (ROPA) and a Data Management Policy covering classification, retention, and secure deletion

  • Data Subject Rights: We provide documented processes to support your rights to access, rectification, and the "right to be forgotten" (deleting inactive data after 3 years)
