Security isn’t a nice-to-have anymore. If your team is setting goals, tracking progress, and building strategy in a shared tool, you need to know that data is protected.
At OKRs Tool, we’ve taken a serious, founder-first approach to security and privacy from day one. We don’t just talk about compliance - we’ve built our product on secure, audited infrastructure that meets the needs of fast-growing teams, EU-based companies, and data-sensitive industries.
Let’s break it down.
SOC 2 Type II Compliance - Powered by Bubble.io
We built OKRs Tool on Bubble.io, which is SOC 2 Type II certified.
That means our infrastructure partner has undergone independent audits to verify controls around:
- Data protection
- Availability
- Access restrictions
- Change management
- Incident response
This level of certification ensures that everything from system design to breach recovery follows strict, third-party–audited protocols. In short? You’re building your goals on a rock-solid foundation.
GDPR-Ready: Full Alignment for EU Teams
If you're a startup in the EU - or work with customers or employees in Europe - GDPR compliance isn’t optional.
OKRs Tool is fully GDPR-aligned, giving you:
- Data Processing Agreements (DPAs) on request
- Consent-based tracking
- Full rights for data access, correction, and deletion
- Transparent list of sub-processors
- Hosting options that support EU or US data residency
Our approach is privacy-first, which means your team’s personal data is never exposed or repurposed. And your legal team will have what they need.
Built-In Platform Security (So You Don’t Have to Worry)
You shouldn’t have to bolt on extra security. That’s why OKRs Tool comes with built-in protection at every layer:
End-to-End Encryption
All data is encrypted in transit (TLS) and at rest (AES) - including your OKRs, user profiles, team activity, and progress updates.
Role-Based Access Controls
Permissions are hard-coded. You control exactly who sees what - whether it’s admins viewing all teams, or individual contributors updating only their key results.
Cloud Resilience via AWS
We rely on AWS, with data replication, daily backups, and 99.9% uptime. We also monitor health and availability through Datadog and New Relic.
Incident Response Protocol
In the rare event of a breach, our partners commit to 72-hour notification windows - keeping you informed and in control.
Why It Matters (Beyond Checkboxes)
Let’s face it: spreadsheets aren’t secure. Slack threads get buried. Internal Notion pages aren’t built for audit trails.
If you’re using OKRs to run your business, those goals are some of your most sensitive and valuable data. You need a system that:
- Protects strategy documents and key metrics
- Gives employees the right access - no more, no less
- Aligns with internal security policies and client requirements
- Can scale to support SOC 2 or GDPR audits down the line
With OKRs Tool, you get all of that without adding manual work or losing speed.
Quick Comparison: OKRs Tool vs. the Spreadsheet Struggle
If you’re still using spreadsheets to track goals, you’re relying on tools that were never designed for modern security or operational standards. Here’s how OKRs Tool compares to the typical spreadsheet setup when it comes to compliance, access, and data protection:
Spreadsheets worked fine when your team was small and the stakes were lower—but they quickly break down when you need reliability, accountability, and scale. OKRs Tool is built to meet the demands of fast-growing teams who take security and execution seriously.
From Founders Who Care About Security
When you're building a product or scaling a team, you don’t want to slow down - but you also don’t want to make risky shortcuts.
That’s why we’ve built OKRs Tool with compliance in mind, so you can:
- Pitch enterprise customers with confidence
- Pass your next vendor security review faster
- Build habits around accountability, not exposure
And if you need deeper answers? We’ll connect you directly with someone on our team who can walk through security or data handling in more detail.
Final thoughts
Security is no longer a blocker to goal-setting software - it’s a core requirement. OKRs Tool gives you enterprise-grade protections without enterprise bloat.
So your team can focus on what matters: setting the right goals, tracking real outcomes, and growing with confidence.
And when your company is ready to scale, pitch enterprise customers, or pass a vendor review, you’ll already have the foundation in place - without needing to rip and replace tools down the line.
