Security & Trust

How Strata Help Desk protects the data of Queensland strata communities — hosting, access control, and incident handling at a glance.

Data Residency & Infrastructure

Strata Help Desk is hosted entirely within Australia. Committee, owner, and resident data does not leave Australian soil in the course of normal operation. Our infrastructure provider holds ISO/IEC 27001 and SOC 2 Type II certifications covering physical data centre security, network infrastructure, and platform operations.

Application-Level Controls

🔐 Authentication

Passwordless email-based two-factor login — no stored passwords to leak, phish, or reuse.

🧩 Role-Based Access

Distinct roles for managers, committee members, owners, tenants, and building staff enforce least-privilege access to every screen and record.

🏢 Tenant Isolation

Every data query is scoped to its building — one strata community's records are never visible to another.

📝 Audit Logging

System actions are recorded to an audit trail, supporting after-the-fact review and committee accountability.

🔒 Encryption

Data is encrypted in transit (TLS) and at rest on our managed database and file storage.

🚦 Rate Limiting

Login and API endpoints are rate-limited to slow automated abuse and credential-stuffing attempts.

Data Retention

Strata records are retained in line with the Queensland Body Corporate and Community Management Act's obligations. When an owner, tenant, or building offboards, personal data is de-identified while the underlying governance record (decisions, votes, financial history) is preserved for the required retention period.
