How do you protect employer and employees personal information?

Data is encrypted while in transit and while at rest.

Files that are uploaded through our platform are securely stored in a private AWS S3 Bucket.  Data is securely stored in a private AWS RDS Database with personally identifiable information being stored in AWS Cognito.   
All data that is stored in AWS is encrypted with the strongest encryption standard - AES-256 bit encryption. On top of this, we have an additional layer of security to protect critical data (e.g. personal identifiable information) with a 2 key base64 AES encryption methodology.  In summary, even if AWS was able to be hacked, any critical data would not be readable because of the second layer of encryption that has been added.
