Introduction

Security isn’t an add-on—it’s foundational. At Silo, safeguarding your info, your assets, and your experience comes first. From insurance coverage to encryption and access controls, this guide explains how we protect you, step by step.

1. Deposits & Investments: Insurance Coverage

Your holdings with Silo are backed by major protections:

• FDIC Insurance: Cash deposits held with our custodian are covered up to $250,000 per depositor, per ownership category.
  
  
• SIPC Protection: Securities—including bonds—are shielded through the Securities Investor Protection Corporation (SIPC) up to $500,000 per account (including $250,000 for cash claims).
  Together, these measures give you structural safety even in the unlikely event of firm failure.
  

2. Access Controls: Ensuring Only You Can Get In

On the account level, we enforce:

• Strong password requirements and multi-factor authentication (MFA).
  

• Biometric options like fingerprint or facial recognition for faster, secure access.
  
• A “privacy screen” feature in the app that hides portfolio details when the app isn’t in focus—protecting you from unintended onlookers.
  

MFA not only at signup, but also when linking a bank, making transfers, or logging in after inactivity. These steps ensure your account stays yours—and only yours.

3. Data & Transmission Security: Encryption and Infrastructure

Behind the scenes, we employ:

• End-to-end encryption, meaning your data is encrypted during transmission and while at rest in our systems.
  
• Secure connections and trusted infrastructures to prevent interception or unauthorized access.
  

Continuous monitoring and dedicated support available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week—so help is always on hand if you need it. These layers protect both your assets and your personal data.

Today’s tools must learn and evolve with business behavior.

4. Prioritizing Security and Compliance

With sensitive financial data at stake, trust is everything. Your SaaS platform should be built on a secure, compliant foundation.

Key features include:

• End-to-end encryption for data in transit and at rest
• Role-based access controls (RBAC)
• Audit logs and activity history
• Built-in support for regional compliance (GDPR, SOC 2, etc.)

Conclusion

At Silo, security isn’t optional—it’s built in. From insurance protections and strong access controls to encrypted systems and 24/7 support, we cover the bases so you can focus on investing. Your portfolio deserves transparency and peace of mind—and that starts with how it’s protected.
