How Does WeGive Keep Your Data Secure?

At WeGive, we prioritize the security and privacy of your data. We adhere to industry best practices, including SOC 2 Type 2 standards, to ensure your data is protected at all times. Here’s an overview of the key measures we take to safeguard your information:

Redundant and Resilient Infrastructure

Our servers, including load balancers, app servers, worker servers, Redis caches, and databases, are designed with redundancy in mind. Each server in our stack has at least one backup in a separate availability zone to ensure continuous availability and minimize the risk of data loss. Additionally, we perform daily backups for all primary and backup servers and databases to maintain data integrity and quick recovery in case of any unforeseen incidents.


Rapid Recovery Capability

In the unlikely event of a catastrophic failure where all WeGive servers are compromised, we have the ability to rebuild our infrastructure from pre-configured templates within an hour. This ensures minimal downtime and a swift return to normal operations. Furthermore, your data is bi-directionally synced with your Customer Relationship Management (CRM) platform, which also likely has its own redundancies and safeguards in place.

Data Synchronization and Local Replication Options

WeGive offers flexibility to clients who wish to maintain a local "core" database. Some of our clients pull data from all of our index endpoints into a local replica of our database, hosted within their own infrastructure. This allows clients to have an additional layer of data protection under their control.

Compliance with SOC 2 Type 2 Standards

WeGive is committed to maintaining the highest standards of security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, and privacy. Our adherence to SOC 2 Type 2 standards demonstrates our ongoing commitment to data security and provides you with the assurance that we are continually monitoring and improving our security practices.
