Offline Payroll Security Explained
Offline-first architecture reduces data exposure by keeping salary-row processing local during normal workflows.
Security boundary
- Payroll-row processing occurs locally in the browser execution context.
- Hosted interactions are limited to licensing and payment-related endpoints.
- No default cloud storage of payroll rows.
Threat-awareness basics
- Protect operator devices with standard endpoint controls.
- Limit shared access to activation credentials.
- Track validation and export actions through internal controls.
Operational safeguards
- Use controlled templates and reviewer sign-off.
- Retain minimal necessary logs for governance review.
- Escalate anomalies quickly through support channels.
FAQ

Is this equivalent to full endpoint security?
No. Product controls complement, but do not replace, organizational endpoint security controls.
What is the key trust benefit?
Reduced payroll-row exposure surface during day-to-day file preparation.
