Security Practices
Last Updated: · Built for UK Trade Operations
1. Secure UK-Based Hosting
All customer databases, agreements, and application files are securely stored on AWS cloud infrastructure located within the London Region (eu-west-2). This guarantees that your customer details and contract information do not leave the UK jurisdiction unnecessarily and comply with the DPA 2018.
2. FCA-Regulated Payment Operations
We partner with payment institutions regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) to process bank transfers and instant payments under Open Banking regulations (PSD2/Strong Customer Authentication). TradePact never handles or stores raw bank login credentials or credit card numbers.
3. Audit Trails & Tamper Prevention
Each signature gathered on TradePact is cryptographically sealed, and accompanied by a detailed audit log. This audit log details exact IP addresses, sign dates, and phone verification indicators. The resulting contract functions as a legally binding document under the UK Electronic Communications Act 2000.
4. Redundant Backups & Resilience
We perform continuous database replication and daily isolated backups to guarantee resilience. In the event of system interruptions, our automated recovery systems ensure minimal disruption to your daily quoting and business activities.
