Encryption
Station Boss uses AES-256 encryption for data at rest and TLS 1.3 for data transmitted between users and the platform.
Station Boss Security
Security, access control, and data protection are core requirements for modern fire department software.
Built for department records and operational data
Fire departments rely on Station Boss for incident reporting, personnel records, training documentation, equipment tracking, dispatch workflows, and administrative data. The platform is built to keep those workflows organized, permissioned, and accessible to authorized users.
Security requirements vary by department and procurement process. Use this page as an evaluation starting point, then confirm the controls, documentation, and integrations required by your agency with the Station Boss team.
Procurement checklist
Questions to include in a security review
Apply the same questions to Station Boss and every vendor so the department can compare evidence instead of relying on broad security claims.
- 1Which roles can view, edit, export, or administer each type of department record?
- 2How are record changes logged and reviewed during an audit or investigation?
- 3How are data encrypted in transit and at rest, hosted, and backed up?
- 4How will legacy records be mapped, validated, accepted, and reconciled?
- 5What data and formats are available if the department changes vendors?
- 6Which certifications, procurement terms, or integrations are mandatory for the agency?
Role-based access
Departments control what members, officers, administrators, and staff can view or manage based on their assigned role.
Audit trails
Important record activity is tracked so authorized users can understand who changed data and when it changed.
U.S.-based hosting and backups
Department data is hosted in secure U.S.-based data centers with automatic backups and cloud-based availability.
Migration controls
Migration work is handled with field mapping, validation, and review so departments can move records with confidence.
Data portability
If a department cancels, its dedicated account manager coordinates available options for returning department data and supporting a transition.
