at DialPhone.
100+ businesses trust DialPhone with their customer conversations. We operate a seven-layer defense model audited by third-party firms and tested continuously.
Last updated April 22, 2026
Phone systems sit at an awkward intersection of security threat models. They handle PSTN traffic, which still carries unauthenticated caller-ID flows and decades-old protocol assumptions, while also handling sensitive customer conversations that often include payment-card data, protected health information, and brokered financial communications. A defense-in-depth strategy that works for a web SaaS does not automatically work for a phone platform — voice paths, SMS gateways, and recording archives each have their own threat profile.
The seven layers below describe how DialPhone addresses each surface independently. Perimeter handles PSTN-level abuse: STIR/SHAKEN attestation outbound (so customer calls register as verified), carrier-grade filtering of inbound robocall floods, and DDoS protection on the HTTP and SIP control planes. Identity defaults to SAML SSO with enforced MFA for both staff and customer admins; no shared passwords, no on-by-default API keys. Data uses AES-256-GCM at rest with hardware-backed KMS, tenant-key isolation for enterprise customers, and PHI tokenization before any AI inference call. Detection and Response run 24/7 with a 72-hour breach notification commitment in the customer contract — not a marketing target.
For technical buyers running a security review, the documentation under the Trust Center covers SOC 2 Type II report request, penetration-test summaries, coordinated disclosure program, and the full subprocessor registry. For data-handling specifics, see the privacy commitments page. To report a security issue, email [email protected] — acknowledgement within 24 hours.

Security FAQ
Can I get a SOC 2 report?
Yes. DialPhone is SOC 2 Type II audited annually across Security, Availability, Confidentiality, and Processing Integrity. Report available under NDA via sales.
Do you do penetration testing?
Yes, annual third-party penetration tests by accredited firms. Executive summaries of remediation status shared with enterprise customers under NDA. We also run a coordinated disclosure program and private bug bounty.
How do you protect customer data from staff access?
Minimum-necessary access by default. Customer support cannot read PHI, recordings, or transcripts without explicit break-glass approval logged and visible to the customer. Production database access restricted to on-call engineers during active incidents.
Do you support SSO and SAML?
Yes. SAML 2.0 SSO with Okta, Azure AD / Entra ID, OneLogin, Ping, Duo, Google Workspace, and any SAML-compliant IdP. SCIM provisioning for automated user lifecycle. Enforced MFA available.
What encryption do you use?
TLS 1.3 in transit, AES-256-GCM at rest, SRTP with AES-256 for voice media, DTLS for WebRTC. Hardware-backed KMS (AWS KMS, Google Cloud KMS) with tenant-key isolation for enterprise customers.
How do you handle insider threat?
Background checks for all staff, role-based access controls, just-in-time elevation for production, session recording on sensitive admin panels, behavioral anomaly detection, periodic access reviews.
