Security Features

256-bit AES Encryption

All data at rest is encrypted using AES-256, the same standard used by financial institutions and government agencies globally.

TLS 1.3 in Transit

All data in transit is protected using TLS 1.3. Older protocol versions (TLS 1.0, 1.1) and weak cipher suites are explicitly disabled.

Role-Based Access Control

Granular RBAC ensures users can only access data appropriate to their role. Administrators, standard users, and read-only roles have distinct permission sets.

Multi-Factor Authentication

MFA is available to all users and enforced for all administrator accounts. We support TOTP-based authenticator apps and SMS-based verification.

Audit Logging

Every data access, export, login, and configuration change is recorded in an immutable audit log with timestamps and user attribution. Logs are retained for 12 months.

Penetration Tested

The platform undergoes regular penetration testing by independent third-party security specialists. Critical findings are remediated within 30 days of disclosure.

Data Storage & Practices

Where Data Lives

All platform data is stored on UK-based servers operated through ISO 27001 certified data centre providers. Our primary and disaster recovery environments are both located within the United Kingdom. No data is transferred to or stored in jurisdictions outside the UK or EEA.

Retention Policy

Active account data is retained for the duration of your subscription. Contributed loan data is retained for up to 7 years to meet financial record-keeping obligations. Anonymised aggregate data may be retained indefinitely. Audit logs are retained for 12 months.

Deletion Rights

On account closure or written request, all personal and identifiable data is deleted within 30 days. You will receive written confirmation of deletion. Backups containing your data are purged within 90 days of the deletion request in accordance with our backup rotation schedule.

Regulatory Compliance

The Loan Intel platform is operated in accordance with the following regulatory frameworks applicable to UK-based SaaS platforms serving the financial services industry:

UK GDPR

We comply with the UK General Data Protection Regulation as retained in UK law following the departure from the European Union. This includes lawful basis for processing, data subject rights, privacy by design, and data breach notification obligations.

Data Protection Act 2018

Our practices align with the Data Protection Act 2018, which supplements the UK GDPR and governs the processing of law enforcement data and intelligence service data processing.

Regulatory Compliance Support

As a platform serving regulated lenders, we design our data handling and security practices to support our clients’ own compliance obligations, including operational resilience and data security requirements relevant to their business.

Incident Response

We maintain a 24-hour incident response SLA for security events. In the event of a confirmed data breach or security incident affecting your data, we will notify you within 24 hours of confirmation and provide a full written incident report within 72 hours.

Our incident response process follows the NCSC's guidance on cyber incident management and meets the ICO's 72-hour breach notification requirement under Article 33 of the UK GDPR.
