When evaluating enterprise software, security isn't just a checklist item to tick off - it's about who controls your data, where it lives, and what happens if you need to revoke access. Too many vendors say they're 'enterprise-ready' when they really mean they have SSO and call it a day. Real enterprise security means your data stays under your control, your encryption keys are yours to manage, and your compliance requirements are met without workarounds or exceptions.


altx forms starts with identity and access. SSO integration via SAML 2.0, OAuth 2.0, and OpenID Connect works with all major providers: Okta, Azure AD, Google Workspace, OneLogin, Auth0, and Ping Identity. Just-in-Time provisioning creates user accounts automatically on first login, so there's no manual user management. SCIM 2.0 syncs users and groups from your identity provider, keeping permissions up to date as people change roles or leave the company. Data residency ensures your data never leaves your chosen geographic region. Deploy in US, EU, UK, Canada, Australia, India, or Singapore. All processing happens in-region with no cross-border data transfers, meeting requirements for GDPR, PIPEDA, LGPD, and industry-specific regulations for healthcare, finance, and government.


But here's where it gets truly enterprise-grade: Bring Your Own Storage lets you connect your own S3 bucket, Azure Blob Storage, or Google Cloud Storage. All file uploads - receipts, resumes, contracts, whatever - go directly to YOUR storage. We never see the files. You control access policies, retention periods, and encryption at rest. Bring Your Own KMS (Key Management Service) means database encryption uses YOUR encryption keys from AWS KMS, Azure Key Vault, Google Cloud KMS, or HashiCorp Vault. We request encrypted data encryption keys from your KMS, but we can't decrypt your data without access to your key management service. You can revoke our access at any time, making all your data unreadable even to us. DLP (Data Loss Prevention) automatically detects and redacts PII - Social Security Numbers, credit cards, phone numbers, email addresses, IP addresses, or custom patterns you define. Sensitive fields can be masked in the UI (showing only last 4 digits), hashed for deduplication without storing actual values, or excluded from exports entirely.


Key Takeaways:

  • SSO with SAML, OAuth, and SCIM for centralized identity management
  • Data residency options in 7+ regions with no cross-border transfers
  • BYO Storage means files never touch our infrastructure
  • BYO KMS means you control encryption keys and can revoke access
  • DLP automatically detects and protects sensitive data (SSN, credit cards, etc.)
  • Compliant with SOC 2, GDPR, HIPAA, CCPA, ISO 27001
  • Complete audit trails for every action and access event
