Security at ShiftFence
Timekeeping security is more than a location pin. ShiftFence combines site checks, controlled access and a reviewable history of attendance changes.
The phone requests a fresh location at each punch; the server calculates the distance from the assigned site and checks the scheduled shift. Optional on-shift check-ins require worker consent and an open app. A closed or locked phone may stop them; GPS alone cannot prove a person’s identity or continuous presence.
Recorded punches are append-only. When a correction is approved, a new linked record is added without erasing the original. Attempted punches and decisions leave an audit trail.
Each company has a separate workspace. Access controls check company membership and role before sensitive actions, with database-level rules restricting reads between companies.
Connections use HTTPS encryption in transit. The managed database and storage protect data at rest; company logos use private storage with limited-time access links.
Company and platform audit records document important changes and approvals. Time corrections preserve the original punch for review rather than silently rewriting it.
Owner access requires a verified account and authenticator-based two-factor authentication. Sensitive owner actions are checked on the server and recorded in the platform audit trail.
