Security
Security practices built for peace of mind.
Countercyclical is built to keep your research private by default, safe through intentional design, and secure every step of the way.
A platform that's secure by design.
Our platform follows a "principle of least privilege" pattern for research in your workspace. Everything is private by default, and only changes visibility when sharing permissions have been updated.
Scalable Infrastructure
Our core infrastructure (Dashboard and API) is deployed securely on Heroku with fast release cycles and frequent data backups
Strong Data Encryption
HTTPS is enforced across all connections with TLS 1.2 via Cloudflare. Data at rest is secured with AES 256-bit encryption via Heroku
Robust Access Controls
Invite, scope, and manage permissions for teams of any shape or size, including guest account types for less frequent collaborators
Simple, Predictable TFA
TFA adds an extra layer of security upon logging in, giving you the ability to scan a QR code with your preferred authenticator app
Insight-Rich Audit Logs
Monitor and react to key events as they occur in your workspace for total transparency across your entire research team
Intuitive Service Status
We shoot for rigorous uptime & availability targets, along with making it incredibly easy to monitor our service status via a dedicated page
Intelligent Sessions
We send users an email every time they log in (location, IP address, etc.), along with a dedicated page for managing their logins
Privacy-First Teams
Group users based on their research verticals, roles, and more. Keep everyone at your company on the same page at every step of the way

Whether its during your trial period or as a long-time paying customer, you can take your data with you at any time, for any reason
