  • All commits go through mandatory code and security review, along with examination by static analysis.

  • We utilize a strict Content Security Policy and a safe-by-default templating language to effectively neutralize Cross-Site Scripting (XSS).
  • We encrypt all network communications with SSL/TLS accompanied HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), including being HSTS preloaded in most major browsers.
  • All requests pass through multiple rate-limiting methods to protect against brute-force attacks.

Compliance

We provide our users with a service, and they look to us to ensure we have adequate internal controls over our systems and their data. Therefore we engage ourselves to stay compliant by gaining important certifications.

Transparancy

We believe in transparency when it comes to our platform uptime, incidents, and service level agreements, details of which are available on our status page.

We go for 99.99% uptime.

e-Archiving standards

Important information should be kept accessible and reusable for years to come, regardless of the system used to store it.

These standards are respected by Billit when it comes to e-archiving:

text

Specific .XML structure

We ensure that our e-archive follows a specific .XML structure, dividing it into "information packages" that act as containers for storing one or more objects, such as e-invoices, or their related metadata. At Billit, we store all invoices as UBL + PDF.

Metadata archiving

All the necessary metadata related to the documents, such as e-invoices, is meticulously e-archived.

Search Capabilities

To facilitate easy retrieval of information from the e-archive, we have implemented a robust search function. Users can conveniently download information based on criteria such as company name, VAT number, fiscal code, date, or other relevant information. Billit provides state-of-the-art search capabilities.

Legal compliancy

We ensure full online access to tax authorities upon their request as necessary to comply with applicable laws or regulations. We may share data with regulators, law enforcement bodies, government agencies, courts, or other relevant third parties as necessary to comply with applicable laws or regulations, or to exercise, establish, or defend our legal rights, where possible and appropriate.

Instant e-archiving process

Most authorities require the e-archiving process be completed within three months from the deadline of the relevant return by affixing a time stamp token on the e-archiving package. Billit completes the process instantly and has the data staying instantly available in the platform for the user.
