Security & trust

Built to protect the business you built.

Your numbers are the most sensitive thing about your company. Northstar treats them that way — by design, not as an add-on.

Encrypted end to end

AES-256 at rest and TLS 1.3 in transit. Keys are rotated automatically and never stored with your data.

Read-only by default

Bank connections can read balances and transactions. Nothing moves without your explicit approval.

Passkeys & 2-step sign-in

Phishing-resistant sign-in with passkeys, authenticator apps and security keys, enforced for your whole team.

Roles & approvals

Give your bookkeeper access without giving away the keys. Require a second approver above any amount.

A complete audit trail

Every sign-in, export and change is logged with who, what and when — ready for your accountant.

Independently assessed

Annual third-party penetration tests and a SOC 2 Type II program. Reports available under NDA.

Customers

Owners get their evenings back.

I used to open four tabs and a spreadsheet to find out whether I could make payroll. Now I open one page, and it tells me.
