Lob trust & security
Industry-leading security, trusted by Fortune 500 companies, and built into every aspect of Lob.
Security Features
SSO via SAML: Integrate single sign on with your identity provider (Okta, OneLogin, etc).
Audit Logging: Programmatically list all requests made against your account.
Role-Based Access Control: Limit user access with admin, read-write, and read-only roles.
Signed Webhooks: Verify the integrity of our webhooks with HMAC signatures.
TLS 1.2+: We only allow modern TLS and ciphersuites.
Secure Development Lifecycle: Automated linting, unit and integration testing, static analysis, and known vulnerable dependency scanning are performed against every commit.
Fix Vulnerability Classes: We structure our architecture and code in a way where entire vulnerability classes are removed by design.
Application Level Hashing/Encryption: Passwords are hashed and sensitive columns are stored with application level encryption.
Preloaded Strict-Transport-Security: Browsers are not capable of making plaintext requests to Lob domains.
Data Encryption: 100% of data is encrypted in transit and at rest.
Infrastructure as Code: All our infrastructure is managed as code and goes through code review.
Least Privilege: All IAM policies, credentials, permissions, and roles are scoped down to the minimum necessary permissions.
Network Segregation: Production, Sandbox and Staging accounts all live within their own separate accounts and are constrained through VPCs.
Hardened Hosts: Unused services/ports are removed, and containers are built off a minimal Alpine image running as a non-root user. Only a well-controlled set of hosts accept ingress traffic.
Intrusion Detection System: We run an IDS that alerts us on anomalous network connections (i.e. to algorithmically generated domain names, the Tor network, etc), suspicious reconnaissance activity, and more.
AWS Root User Disabled: All our AWS root users are disabled through the use of service control policies.
HIPAA: Sign a Business Associates Agreement with us for even stronger data controls.
Privacy: Learn more about our privacy program by visiting our Privacy page.
3rd Party Audits: Lob undergoes a SOC 2 Type 2 audit annually by third party assessors.
Penetration Tests: Lob engages 3rd party firms to conduct penetration tests annually.
Vendor & Print Partner Evaluation: Lob evaluates and monitors the security of our subprocessors and requires them to maintain a security posture at least as strong as our own.
Endpoint Monitoring and Management: We deploy industry leading endpoint protection and device management software on all endpoints.
SSO: Employee services are authenticated with SSO, with enforced password complexity and 2FA requirements.
Security Training: All personnel complete security awareness and HIPAA training as part of onboarding and annually thereafter.
Standardized Onboarding/Offboarding: Employees receive minimum permissions by default, and are only granted additional access on an as-needed basis. When employees change roles or are offboarded, their unneeded permissions are removed immediately.
Access Review: Lob performs access reviews on a regular basis to ensure the principle of least privilege is being followed.
VPN: Accessing internal services must be completed over a secure VPN, which requires two-factor authentication.
Data in the Cloud: We don’t store any data on premise.
