Security & access

Who sees what, and who gets in

Three fixed roles decide who sees your people's records, and every account can add two-factor sign-in.

  • Email alerts after failed and unusual sign-ins
  • Signed out everywhere after a password change
  • Encrypted, hosted in the US and never sold

Encrypted, hosted in the US, and walled off from other companies

Your people's records and files live on Google Cloud, through Firebase. We never sell them, use them for ads or use them to train AI models.

Every read and write is checked by the database

Your team's data travels encrypted to Google Cloud in the US. On the way, database rules check each request: your people get what their role allows, and any other company gets nothing.

Employees see their own records, HR sees the team's

Three fixed roles: one Main Admin, HR for the people who run it day to day, and Employee for everyone else. Only the Main Admin changes roles.

Two-factor sign-in, and a log of every sign-in

Anyone can turn on two-factor sign-in for their own account, with ten one-time recovery codes for a lost phone. Their Activity log records sign-ins, failed passwords and security changes with the city, browser, device and IP.

Know when someone tries to get in

Three wrong passwords in 30 minutes, a failed try from an unusual place or a sign-in from a new device, and the account holder gets an email. One click takes them to their Activity log and the password change.

Five more protections, built in

Nothing to switch on: they work for every company on every plan.

Leavers lose access the moment you terminate them

Terminate closes their access at once and cancels what's still open. Their profile, history and signed documents stay with you.

Signed documents can't be deleted

Once everyone has signed, nobody in your company can cancel or delete it.

Passwords that hold up

These rules apply at sign-up, on invitation and at every change, and the email is confirmed before the first sign-in.

Or one click with Google, Microsoft, GitHub or X

Anyone can connect one of these to their profile and sign in with it.

Only the FirstHR app gets through

Firebase App Check, with Google reCAPTCHA Enterprise, turns away requests that don't come from the app.
