How connections are secured

Rather than a general statement about encryption, here's what's specifically true about how connections into and out of the platform are secured.

Written plainly, on purpose
No vague reassurances, just what's actually true today.
01

Webhook connections require a valid TLS certificate

The public endpoint that receives live call events must have a valid TLS certificate matching its exact hostname. A mismatched or missing certificate, for example a certificate that only covers a bare domain when a www subdomain is used, will cause the connection to fail rather than fall back to an unencrypted one.

02

Why this requirement exists

Live call data, transcript content and call status, travels over this connection as a call happens, so requiring a valid, correctly matched certificate is a deliberate part of how that connection is set up.

03

Encryption at rest

We don't publish a specific at-rest encryption spec on this page. For a complete technical answer covering encryption at rest and any details specific to your deployment, reach out to our team directly.

Frequently asked

The connection will fail. This is a known, documented setup issue, for example a certificate that only covers a bare domain won't work for a www prefixed version of that domain.
