Protecting your team's data
Your employees trust you with their personal information, and you trust us. Here's how August keeps that information safe.
U.S. cloud hosting
August runs on Amazon Web Services infrastructure in the United States.
Encryption
All traffic is encrypted with HTTPS. Social Security numbers and other sensitive values are encrypted at rest with AWS Key Management Service.
Role-based access
Grant admin access by module and use timesheet-only logins for shared time clocks.
Private file storage
Employee photos are stored privately and shown only through short-lived, signed links.
Change history
Punch edits are attributed to the admin who made them, and applicant status changes are tracked.
Bot protection
Public forms like job applications are protected with reCAPTCHA.
Texting compliance
Support for carrier A2P 10DLC registration, STOP and HELP handling, and organization-specific SMS terms and privacy pages.
Secure mobile sign-in
August Mobile uses one-time passcodes for sign in, and employees use a PIN at the time clock.

Read our privacy policy and terms of service.
Security questions
Where is my data stored?
August runs on Amazon Web Services infrastructure in the United States.
Is employee data encrypted?
Yes. All traffic to August is encrypted over HTTPS. Social Security numbers and other sensitive values are additionally encrypted at rest using AWS Key Management Service.
Who on my team can see employee information?
You decide. Admin access is granted by module, including scheduling, time and payroll, hiring and documents, messaging and settings, so managers only see what they need.
How do I report a security concern?
Email support@augusthr.com with the details and our team will respond promptly.
