How Alpaca Protects Developer and Partner Data in a High-Risk Industry

Alpaca describes its security and privacy program as a layered, continuously monitored approach designed for its regulated brokerage infrastructure, emphasizing that it was not affected by recent industry security incidents but recognizes partners’ concerns about sector-wide threats. Its controls include annual SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 assurance, encrypted and segmented Google Cloud infrastructure, Zero Trust access, 24/7 security operations monitoring, role-based permissions, vendor risk assessments, and alignment with privacy requirements including GDPR and regional data-protection laws. The company identifies social engineering, credential theft, vendor compromises, API abuse, account takeover, insider misuse, and ransomware as major risks, and addresses them through mandatory employee training, phishing simulations, MFA expansion, email defenses, penetration tests, red teaming, automated scanning, and a managed bug bounty program. Alpaca also maintains incident-response playbooks and notification procedures, supports enterprise partners with security documentation and architecture reviews, uses OAuth and scoped API access for integrations, and advises developers to safeguard and promptly revoke exposed API keys.
