Competitive positioning on security

Core Security Differentiators:

• Customer-Controlled Encryption Keys: Unique capability allowing customers to maintain control of their encryption keys, providing ultimate data sovereignty
• Zero-Trust Architecture: Built from ground up with zero-trust principles, not retrofitted onto existing systems
• Real-Time Compliance Monitoring: Continuous monitoring and reporting for regulatory compliance, not periodic assessments
• Granular Document-Level Permissions: Access controls down to individual document level, beyond basic role-based systems

Battle-Tested Responses:

"How do you compare to Microsoft's security?"

"That's a great question. While Microsoft has strong security, we offer customer-controlled encryption keys that Microsoft doesn't provide. This means your organization maintains ultimate control over your data encryption, which is critical for highly regulated industries. We can show you our SOC 2 Type II report that details these capabilities."

"What about Google's global security infrastructure?"

"Google does have impressive global infrastructure. However, we provide granular document-level permissions and customer data residency control that Google doesn't offer. For enterprises needing precise access control and data sovereignty, these capabilities are essential. Let me show you how a Fortune 500 bank implemented our solution specifically for these security requirements."

"Notion seems simpler to manage security-wise"

"Simplicity is valuable, but so is comprehensive security. We have both SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 certifications, while Notion only has SOC 2. For enterprise customers, this additional certification level provides the security assurance that procurement and compliance teams require. We can provide you with our security documentation package to review."
