Overview/Security & Data
Security & Data

Controls-based. Brand-aligned.

Guest data, payment data, and investor data each require different controls. We align to the SOC 2 trust-services criteria, PCI DSS scope minimization via tokenization, and the Hilton Worldwide Information Security Policy for brand-operated properties.

Control 01

Identity & access

SSO with MFA for all employee access. Role-based access control. Quarterly access reviews. No shared credentials on production systems.

Control 02

Data in transit

TLS 1.2+ on all web and API traffic. Certificate management automated. Strict HSTS on all public properties.

Control 03

Data at rest

Encryption at rest on managed databases and object storage. Key management through cloud KMS with audit logging.

Control 04

Payment data

PCI DSS scope minimized via tokenization. Card data is never stored on Allencrest systems; token vaults are hosted by PCI-compliant third parties.

Control 05

Audit logging

Immutable audit logs for sensitive actions: investor document access, financial transactions, and administrative changes. Retention aligned to regulatory minimums.

Control 06

Vendor risk

Third-party risk assessment before onboarding. Annual re-assessment of material vendors. Data-processing agreements where personal data is handled.

Data Categories

Three distinct data estates.

Incident Response

Defined playbook. Tested quarterly.

We maintain a documented incident response plan covering detection, triage, containment, eradication, recovery, and notification. Material-incident notification paths to Hilton, the servicer, and investors are pre-defined. The plan is reviewed quarterly and exercised annually.

Business Continuity

Commodity vendors. Replaceable glue.

Our technology strategy intentionally favors vendors with their own BC/DR capabilities. Our integration layer is thin and replaceable. Any single vendor failure is recoverable without rebuilding the portfolio.

Important. The controls described above are the framework we operate to. Specific third-party certifications (SOC 2, PCI DSS) may be held by vendors in our supply chain rather than by Allencrest directly. Certification status for any given layer is available to counterparties under NDA on request.
