Document vault

Encrypted storage for the paperwork side of the job.

Policy documents, signed applications, projections, and underwriting notes in one place, encrypted at rest with AES-256-GCM and scoped to your account. Tag, search, and export.

What lives in the vault

The documents a policy generates, kept together.

A single policy throws off a stack of paperwork. The vault holds it as one set, encrypted and anchored to the contact and policy it belongs to, instead of leaving it spread across inboxes and a local drive.

  • Records

    Policy paperwork, in one place.

    Policy documents, signed applications, illustrations, and underwriting notes live together instead of scattered across email threads and a desktop folder.

    • Policy documents and signed applications.
    • Illustrations and product disclosures.
    • Underwriting notes and correspondence.
  • Encryption

    AES-256-GCM at rest.

    Every vault file is encrypted at rest with AES-256-GCM before storage. Access is scoped to your account in application code.

    • AES-256-GCM encryption at rest.
    • Access scoped to your account in application code.
    • No aggregation across accounts.
  • Audit

    Selected actions are logged.

    An audit log records security-relevant actions such as document downloads and record changes. Documents anchor to the contact and policy they belong to, so the trail is always attached to the right record.

    • Audit log of downloads and changes.
    • Documents anchored to contact and policy.
    • CSV export while subscribed and for a limited period afterward.

Encryption

Encrypted before storage, scoped to your account.

Files are encrypted with AES-256-GCM before they are stored. Access is checked against your account in the application code on every request, not a setting you have to turn on.

  • AES-256-GCM encryption of vault files.
  • Access is checked against the owning account on every request.
  • No aggregation of records across customers.
  • The encryption and access model is documented on the security page.

Organize and find

Tags, search, and one-click export.

Documents anchor to the contact and policy they belong to, so a file is one click from the record it supports. Tag what you store, search by file name, contact or tag, and export when you want your records back.

  • Documents anchor to the contact and policy they belong to.
  • Tags and search by file name, contact or tag.
  • One-click export - your records stay yours.
  • Nest is software, not a data broker; it does not sell client information.

Audit trail

Downloads and changes are recorded.

The vault keeps an audit log of selected actions such as downloads and changes; not every read is logged. Because each document is anchored to a contact and policy, the trail reads against the record it belongs to instead of a loose file name floating in a folder.

  • An audit log records security-relevant actions such as document downloads and record changes.
  • Entries attach to the contact and policy the document belongs to.
  • The same access model applies to everything you store.
