PeerDB Cloud Security
Learn about how PeerDB Cloud ensures the security of your data.
Security is paramount at PeerDB, and we take our commitment to protecting customer data very seriously. To provide a secure and compliant platform, we adhere to strict protocols and employ various measures to safeguard sensitive information.

- SOC 2 Type II - PeerDB is SOC 2 Type II Compliant and our report is available on our Trust Center
- GDPR
We are currently undergoing compliance review for the following frameworks:
- HIPAA - Controls are being set up in place for compliance
Data Retention
PeerDB doesn’t store any customer specific data on their end: all the data that is transferred/staged, whether local or remote (S3) is transient.
Access and Isolation
Isolation
Every customer instance on PeerDB Cloud is fully isolated from other instances and all cross-instance traffic is explicitly denied by default.
More details are available in the Isolation Architecture Doc on our Trust Center.
Access
PeerDB follows the Principle of Least Privilege wherever possible and requires read-only access to the source peers: no write access is needed.
Any and all internal traffic/access across instances is controlled via claim-based and role-based access-control, short-lived credentials and security best-practices.
Encryption
Any data in transit is fully encrypted. Additionally customers can leverage SSH Tunneling to ensure that they don’t need to expose the public IP of the source peer/database.
Additional Security Features
IP Whitelisting
PeerDB Cloud supports IP whitelisting for secure access to your source/target peers. You can find the list of IPs to whitelist here.
SSH Tunneling for Secure Postgres Replication
We natively support SSH tunneling right from the first connection to your database. A very simple way to get started can be found here
AWS PrivateLink
PeerDB Cloud supports AWS PrivateLink for secure and private access to your source/target peers. This ensures that your data never leaves the AWS network and is secure from any external threats. This is available on all PeerDB Cloud instances and can be enabled by following the guide here.
