Security, compliance, and trust at Wag3s

This is the page B2B buyers, auditors, and regulators ask for. It catalogs every framework we are working toward, every control we operate today, every subprocessor we rely on, and how to reach the security team. We mark each certification with its real status — never "certified" before an auditor has signed an attestation.

Last updated: April 15, 2026

Where we are with each certification

Wag3s is in the early phase of formal third-party attestation. The status field below is updated as auditors complete each engagement. Until a status reads "certified" with an attestation date, the framework is informational — not a certified claim.

SOC 2 Type II

AICPA Trust Services Criteria

In progress Target: 2026-Q4

Scope Production platform serving Wag3s Ledger, Folio, and (post-launch) HR. Trust Services Criteria covered: Security, Availability, Confidentiality.

Notes Engagement scoped with a Big-4-tier auditor. Type I report targeted Q3 2026, Type II report 2026-Q4 covering a six-month observation period.

ISO/IEC 27001

ISO 27001:2022

In progress Target: 2027-Q1

Scope Information security management system covering the production platform, customer data handling, and the Wag3s engineering organization.

Notes Internal ISMS (Information Security Management System) operational since 2025; external audit engagement targeted for Q1 2027.

GDPR

EU 2016/679

Self-assessed

Scope Customer data processing, subject rights workflows (access, deletion, portability), DPA execution, and EU-residency data handling.

Notes Wag3s self-assesses as GDPR-compliant. DPA available on request. EU-resident customer data is processed within the EU.

CCPA / CPRA

California Civil Code §1798.100

Self-assessed

Scope California consumer rights handling for B2C users of Folio.

Notes Privacy policy discloses CCPA-required categories. Subject-rights requests answered within statutory windows.

MiCA-readiness

EU Markets in Crypto-Assets (Regulation 2023/1114)

Planned

Scope Customer reporting outputs and data residency aligned with MiCA expectations for EU-touching DAOs and Foundations.

Notes MiCA does not certify accounting platforms directly, but Wag3s' reporting outputs are designed so that EU customers can include them in their own MiCA compliance posture. Formal alignment review targeted post-SOC 2 Type II.

What runs in production right now

These are the controls Wag3s operates as of the last-updated date — independent of formal certification status. They form the basis of the SOC 2 and ISO 27001 engagements above.

Identity & access

Wallet-based authentication

Read-only wallet connections via EIP-712 signatures. Wag3s never holds private keys.

Role-based access control (RBAC)

Per-role permissions for every member of a customer organization. Permission matrix viewable from the dashboard.

JWT addresses normalized to EIP-55 checksum

Address handling normalized at every API boundary to prevent case-sensitivity bypass.

Distributed lock for concurrent jobs

Redis-backed distributed locks on customer-data-mutating jobs.

Data protection

Encryption at rest

AES-256 encryption on all customer data in PostgreSQL, with tenant isolation per customer.

Encryption in transit

TLS 1.3 on all public endpoints. HSTS enabled with `max-age=31536000` and `includeSubDomains`.

Tenant isolation

Every read and write is scoped by tenant identifier. Cross-tenant access is impossible at the database layer.

Backup and recovery

Point-in-time restore for the production database. Backups encrypted at rest, retention aligned with regulatory minimums.

Application security

Standardized API responses

Unified `apiOk` / `apiError` response format with Zod input validation on every endpoint.

Content Security Policy

CSP enforced on every response. `frame-src 'none'`, `object-src 'none'`, scoped script and style sources.

Security headers baseline

X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options, Referrer-Policy, Permissions-Policy, HSTS — all enforced via Nuxt routeRules.

Continuous dependency monitoring

Automated CVE scanning on application dependencies via the package manager's audit pipeline.

Operational security

Production change control

All production changes go through code review and CI before deployment. No direct production access.

Audit logging

Every authenticated mutation produces an audit-log entry retained for the regulatory minimum.

On-chain provenance

Where on-chain anchoring is used (e.g. EIP-712 signed agreements), the signature and block reference are part of the audit trail.

Data residency, retention, and subject rights

Data residency

Production data is hosted in EU data centers (primary region) with a documented secondary region for disaster recovery. EU customer data does not leave the EU at rest.

Customer data ownership

Customers own all data ingested by Wag3s. We do not sell, share, or use customer data for purposes outside the contractual scope of providing the service.

Subject rights

Access, rectification, erasure, portability, and objection handled per the published privacy policy. Subject-rights requests answered within the regulatory window for the relevant jurisdiction (typically 30 days under GDPR).

Data retention

Customer data is retained for the contractual term plus the regulatory minimum (typically 5 years for accounting / tax records). Customers can export everything at any time and request deletion at termination.

Sub-processors

A current list of subprocessors is published below. Customers can be notified when a new subprocessor is added under the data processing agreement.

Vendors that process customer data on our behalf

This list is the current subprocessor set as of the last-updated date. Customers under a DPA receive notice before new subprocessors are added.
