🏆 Salesroom is SOC2 Type 2 as of @February 17, 2023. SOC2 report contains sensitive information, and is available here and an NDA will need to be signed before receiving access.

“Salesroom Inc” is a Software as a Service (SAAS) company that offers “Sales Specific Virtualized Virtual Meeting (“Salesroom”)” software and services to Sales Account Executives (AE) using its SAAS platform or expert resources. Salesroom improves the likelihood and speed of closing sales contracts virtually by reducing friction during the sales cycle and improving trust and confidence at each step of the process. This is achieved using a virtual meeting platform and machine learning designed specifically for sales. Salesroom is the first real-time Sales platform built directly for AE’s (value prop). Salesroom Inc was founded in February 2021

Shared Responsibility Matrix

This matrix is an essential document that clearly outlines the various responsibilities of both Salesroom and you, our valued customer, in terms of security, compliance, and operations.

The Shared Responsibility Matrix is designed to help both of us to understand our respective roles and expectations, reducing potential confusion and misunderstandings. By clearly defining the responsibilities related to infrastructure, platform, software, network security, data storage, access management, compliance, data privacy, and security monitoring, we can collaboratively work together to ensure the security, reliability, and performance of our product.

Understanding and adhering to the Shared Responsibility Matrix is crucial for the following reasons:

  1. Enhanced Security: By following the matrix, both of us can implement appropriate security controls and best practices, reducing the risk of data breaches and security incidents.

  2. Compliance: The matrix helps maintain compliance with relevant industry regulations and certifications, such as SOC2, GDPR, and CCPA, by specifying each party's compliance-related responsibilities.

  3. Operational Efficiency: Clearly defined responsibilities help streamline operations and improve efficiency, resulting in a more reliable and high-performing service.

  4. Trust and Transparency: The matrix fosters trust between our companies by establishing transparent communication and setting clear expectations for both of us.

We encourage you to carefully review and understand the Shared Responsibility Matrix, as it is a vital component of our working relationship. We are always available to discuss any questions or concerns you may have regarding the matrix, and we look forward to our ongoing collaboration in maintaining the security and compliance of Salesroom.

Architecture

Data is stored in an encrypted PostgreSQL database. Sensitive data such as transcriptions undergo further AES-256 encryption so they are not available without excess decryption efforts. All data is encrypted at rest and we use TLS 1.2 for all cross-service communication. We conduct regular third party penetration tests and infrastructure audits. We follow best practices around least privilege and limited production access.

Recordings, meeting metadata and highlight processing are encrypted in transit with AES algorithms, and recordings are encrypted at rest with AES-256 on AWS S3. Access is limited to a small subset of engineers and is logged and alerted. Encryption is non-optional and cannot be turned off or downgraded. Access to recordings is restricted, audit-logged, alerted, and access is only granted with express customer permission to diagnose issues.

Transcriptions, chats, notes and any potentially sensitive freeform text is encrypted in our Heroku PostgreSQL Database (Heroku use AWS), in transit with AES algorithms and at rest using AES-256 encryption algorithms. Engineers do not review any of this data without express permission from the user and any decryption requires excess effort and advanced knowledge to decryption.

No one can listen into an active meeting without being a known participant who has joined through a meeting url that is randomly generated and can’t be brute forced. All participants know exactly who is in a call at any given time. All our meetings are encrypted in transit using AES-256 encryption algorithms.

All code and infrastructure changes are made via a Github Pull Request. Code owners are required to review and approve changes before deployment. Snyk and Github CodeQL Security checks are run on all code before deployment and deployments go through development and staging servers before being able to be promoted to production. Secureframe continually monitors our security controls to ensure they remain functional. JAMF, CrowdStrike and Google Security ensure all computer equipment and internal data is monitored.
