Security
Last updated: June 2026
Metrdy is committed to the security of our platform and the protection of our customers' laboratory data. This page describes our security practices and how to report a vulnerability.
Our security practices
We take a layered approach to security across the Metrdy stack:
- Encryption in transit and at rest. All connections use TLS 1.2+. Data is encrypted at rest using AES-256 on our database infrastructure (Supabase / AWS).
- Role-based access control. Access to laboratory data is restricted by role (Lab Manager, Standard User, View-Only) and enforced at both the API and database layers via Row-Level Security.
- Continuous security scanning. We run static application security testing (Semgrep, OWASP rule sets) and dependency vulnerability scanning (Dependabot) on every code change. Code scanning (GitHub CodeQL) runs on every push to our main branch.
- No AI training on customer data. Customer laboratory data is never used to train AI models and is not shared with third parties for their commercial purposes. Our optional OCR feature processes images transiently and does not retain input data.
- Data ownership. You own your data. Metrdy holds only a limited license to store and process it for service delivery. Full data export is available at any time on request.
For a full description of our security controls, see our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service. University or institutional customers may request our security documentation package (HECVAT, policies, and certifications) by contacting support@metrdy.com.
