Built on AWS, encrypted throughout
Your team's retrospectives and insights deserve serious protection. Simyl runs entirely on AWS: data encrypted at rest with AES-256 and in transit with TLS 1.3, with security controls aligned with SOC 2 and ISO 27001 frameworks.
Every claim on this page is one we can stand behind. Where we are not certified, we say so.
The AWS foundation
8 AWS compliance programsSimyl is built entirely on Amazon Web Services, inheriting the security posture and compliance certifications that enterprises trust worldwide.
These certifications apply to the AWS infrastructure services Simyl runs on. They are AWS's certifications, not ours: what they mean for you is that the hardware, networking, and managed services underneath your data are independently audited.
How we protect your data
6 application-level controlsBeyond AWS's infrastructure security, we implement additional controls at the application level to keep your data safe.
Encryption everywhere
All data encrypted at rest using AES-256 and in transit using TLS 1.3. Your retrospective discussions and team insights are always protected.Secure authentication
Passwordless authentication via one-time codes. No passwords to steal, no credentials to leak. Enterprise SSO/SAML integration available.Data segregation
All data access is scoped by organization ID at the application layer. Enterprise customers can opt for dedicated single-tenant infrastructure.Privacy by design
Developer effectiveness metrics are private by default. Individual coaching notes visible only to the developer. You control what's shared.Automatic backups
Continuous backups with point-in-time recovery. Your data is replicated across multiple availability zones for durability.Regional data residency
Data stored in AWS US-East-1 (N. Virginia) by default. Enterprise customers can request specific regional deployment.

Your data, your control
0 bytes of source code storedYour retrospective data belongs to you. We don't sell it, we don't use it for advertising, and we don't train AI models on your content.
We never store your source code. Our GitHub, GitLab, and Bitbucket integrations only fetch commit metadata and PR statistics, not code content. Your intellectual property stays in your repositories.
Our AI features use Amazon Bedrock with your data processed in-region and never retained by the AI service. You can export your data anytime, and we honor deletion requests promptly.
- No source code storage, ever
- No data selling or advertising
- AI processing with no data retention
- Full data export available
- Account deletion within 30 days
