Lyfeguard is built with multiple layers of security to protect your information. We use strong encryption, certified security standards and continuous monitoring to keep your data safe at all times.


How Lyfeguard protects your data

Lyfeguard uses several measures to keep your information secure.

Encryption

Your data is encrypted at rest and in transit, ensuring it remains protected whether stored or being transferred.

  • AES-256 encryption safeguards information within Lyfeguard's systems

  • Transport Layer Security (TLS) encryption protects data when it moves between your device and our servers

Definition: AES-256 encryption is an industry-standard method used by leading banks to protect sensitive information.

Definition: TLS encryption is a protocol that secures data as it travels between your device and a server, preventing it from being read or intercepted.

Secure digital vault

All data you add to Lyfeguard is stored in an encrypted digital vault on UK-based servers with layered cybersecurity protection. Only you and any Trusted Users you choose can access this information.

Independently certified security standards

Lyfeguard meets internationally recognised security standards designed to protect your information and ensure our systems follow strong security practices.

Our certifications include:

  • ISO 27001

  • Cyber Essentials

Definition: ISO 27001 is the global standard for information security management and is widely used across highly regulated industries, such as banking and healthcare.

Definition: Cyber Essentials is a UK Government-backed scheme designed to protect against common online threats such as phishing, malware and unauthorised access.

These certifications demonstrate that our controls and processes meet rigourous, independently verified requirements.

Continuous monitoring and testing

Lyfeguard uses continuous monitoring and independent security testing to help keep your information safe. These measures allow us to detect potential risks early and respond quickly when needed. This includes:

  • 24/7 penetration testing and vulnerability scanning carried out by trusted UK security providers AppCheck and Defense.com

  • Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) systems that analyse activity in real time and alert us to possible threats

  • Proactive monitoring of our environment to identify unusual or potentially harmful behaviour

Definition: SIEM is a systrem that collects and analyses security data in real time to identify and respond to threats.

These controls help ensure issues are identified promptly and that your information remains secure.
