Workzent
Security

Controls that survive an audit.

Workzent holds payroll, bank details and approval authority for entire groups. The security model is built for that responsibility: least privilege by default, and an immutable record of every action, including the ones Workzent Zeno takes.

Every action is written down, and afterwards no one can change or delete that record, not even me. A supervisor approves overtime at 6pm, and a year later the record still shows who approved it and when.

The model

Three layers of control. Each independently auditable.

Protection keeps the data safe at rest and in flight. Access decides who can reach it. Audit proves what happened afterwards.

01

Data Protection

  • AES-256 encryption at rest and TLS 1.3 in transit
  • Multi-factor authentication (MFA)
  • Single Sign-On (SSO) integration
  • Least-privilege access model
  • Multi-tenant architecture with logical data isolation
  • Automated daily backups with geo-redundant storage
  • Malware scanning for all uploaded documents
02

Access Control

  • Role-Based Access Control with granular permissions
  • User roles, department permissions, module-level access
  • Manager hierarchy-based permission inheritance
  • Field-level data masking for sensitive information
  • Admin controls for system-wide security settings
03

Audit & Compliance

  • Immutable audit logs of every action
  • RFC 3161 compliant timestamping
  • Multi-level approval routing with policy checks
  • One-click compliance reports for board presentations
  • SOC2 Type II compliant
  • Regular third-party security audits
Role-based access

Permission follows the org chart.

Roles inherit through the manager hierarchy, scope narrows by company and unit, and sensitive fields stay masked even for users who can open the record.

  • Module-level access per role
  • Company and unit scoping
  • Manager hierarchy inheritance
  • Field-level masking on salary and bank data

Auditability

Including what the AI did.

Workzent Zeno actions are logged in the same immutable trail as human ones, attributed to the engine and traceable to the rule that triggered them. One-click compliance reports pull straight from it.

Infrastructure

Where the data sits is your decision.

Multi-tenant architecture with logical isolation by default, or a dedicated environment where regulation or policy requires it.

Cloud

Zero-infrastructure, automatic updates, global scalability.

Private

Dedicated VPC or on-premise for total data sovereignty. Enterprise only.

Hybrid / Custom

Mixed deployment for regulatory data localization requirements.

Automated daily backups, geo-redundant
Malware scanning on every upload
Regular third-party security audits
