Security & privacy

Security and data protection on Ataam

Your company’s data and deals stay yours: two-step sign-in, strict isolation between companies, encrypted key storage, and a full copy of your data whenever you want it.

Available in the dashboard

  • Two-step sign-in
  • Strict isolation of each company’s data
  • Regular encrypted backups

Two-step sign-in

After your password, a verification code is required — a leaked password alone cannot open your account.

  1. E-mail code

    A short-lived code is sent to your verified e-mail address.

  2. Or an authenticator app

    Use an authenticator app on your phone to generate the code without waiting for e-mail.

  3. Mandatory for admins

    Platform admin accounts cannot work without two-step sign-in; for users it is optional and one click away.

  4. Your company decides

    A company manager can require two-step sign-in for the whole team.

How we protect your company’s data

  • Strict company isolation

    Every request, order and invoice belongs to its company, and deal details are visible to the deal parties only.

  • Encrypted key storage

    ERP API keys and secrets are stored encrypted and never shown in full after saving.

  • Team permissions

    Defined roles — manager, purchasing, sales, accountant — each working within its scope.

  • Audit logs

    Sign-ins, security actions and key operations are logged with who did them and when.

  • Encrypted backups

    Encrypted backups are taken regularly; daily off-site backups are being rolled out.

  • Separate demo accounts

    Trial and demo accounts are isolated from real company data.

“My data copy”: your data, any time

Export all of your company’s data on Ataam in one file whenever you like — or have it created automatically.

  1. Two-step confirmation

    For the company owner or manager only, after entering a verification code.

  2. Create the copy

    A compressed file with all of your company’s data, with an optional file password.

  3. Secure download link

    A one-time download link; the copy is deleted automatically after 7 days.

  4. Scheduled copies

    Daily, weekly or monthly schedules that keep your latest copies.

Payments: your deal amounts go directly between the parties

In company deals on Ataam (B2B), deal amounts are transferred directly between the parties, and Ataam does not hold them. Payments that go through a payment gateway — such as subscriptions, add-ons and home-services orders — are processed by a licensed payment gateway.

  • Deal amounts go directly between the parties

    Purchase orders, progress claims and receivables are paid by transfer from the buyer straight to the seller's bank account; Ataam records the payment and its confirmation, and the money never passes through it.

  • Online payments through a licensed payment gateway

    Subscriptions, add-ons and home-services orders are paid online and processed by a licensed payment gateway, and your card details are not stored by Ataam.

  • Recorded payments are for tracking only

    Recording a payment or receipt on the platform is evidence entered by the parties; it does not mean Ataam received or guaranteed the amount.

  • Financing and insurance from licensed companies

    Financing instalments and insurance premiums never pass through Ataam; they are paid to the licensed company under your contract with it.

Protecting your account and deals

  • Recovery codes

    Backup codes to sign in if you lose access to your e-mail or authenticator app.

  • Trusted devices

    No code on every sign-in from your trusted device, for the period set in the security settings.

  • Private deals

    Chats, attachments and guarantee letters are visible to the deal parties only.

  • Encrypted connection

    All traffic to Ataam and the dashboard goes over HTTPS.

  • A ZATCA e-invoice for every subscription

    Everything you pay Ataam gets a ZATCA e-invoice compliant with ZATCA (FATOORA) requirements — download it from «My subscription invoices».
