Security & trust

A parish keeps the most sensitive records there are.

Sacramental, financial, and pastoral — the things a priest is trusted with. Symphonia is built so that trust is never misplaced.

Encrypted at rest, per parish

Every parish lives in its own isolated database — never commingled in one shared table. Sensitive fields (contact details, sacramental notes, pastoral records) are encrypted at rest with a managed key.

Pastoral notes only the priest can read

Confession queues and private pastoral notes are sealed to the confessor. Legacy — the permanent pastoral record — is envelope-encrypted so not even your staff, an interim priest, a database dump, or Ancient Designs support can read it.

Real roles & a full audit trail

Granular, capability-based access decides who can see what — giving amounts and pastoral notes especially. Every sensitive action (record exports, directory downloads, deletions) is written to a tamper-evident audit log.

Two-factor sign-in

Email + password with an email-code second factor at login. Passkey support is built for parishes that want it.

You own your data — walk out anytime

No lock-in, ever. Export your members, giving history, and sacramental register whenever you like. The parish owns its own record; we just keep it safe.

Backups & disaster recovery

Regular encrypted backups with a tested restore drill, so a bad day is a recoverable one.

The paperwork, too.
