What is TripZILLA Vault?

TripZILLA Vault

TripZILLA Vault is a secure storage system designed to protect highly sensitive client data. It adds an additional layer of encryption on top of TripZILLA’s standard security measures, ensuring that confidential information remains private, even in the unlikely event of a database breach.


What is TripZILLA Vault?

TripZILLA Vault is a company-wide secure storage space shared by all agents within your organization. It is specifically built for handling sensitive data that requires stronger protection than standard trip or client information.

At the moment, TripZILLA Vault supports storing:

  • Passport details

Planned future expansions include:

  • Encrypted document storage

  • Secure form data

  • Payment and credit card details

  • Additional sensitive client information


How TripZILLA Vault works (high-level)

TripZILLA Vault uses end-to-end encryption based on a public and private key system:

  • Each company has its own unique encryption key pair

  • The public key is stored securely in TripZILLA’s systems

  • The private key is never stored in plain form and is protected per agent

Per-agent security

Within TripZILLA Vault, each agent has:

  • Their own Vault password

  • A wrapped version of the company’s private key, encrypted specifically for them

This means:

  • Only authorized agents can decrypt Vault data

  • TripZILLA cannot access the encrypted contents

  • Data remains protected even if infrastructure is compromised


Encryption model

TripZILLA Vault uses modern, industry-standard cryptography:

  • RSA for public and private key encryption

  • AES-GCM for encrypting sensitive data

  • Key derivation using RFC 2898 (PBKDF2) with 600,000 iterations

This combination ensures:

  • Strong protection against brute-force attacks

  • Secure key handling per agent

  • Confidentiality and integrity of stored data


Recovery and access

When setting up TripZILLA Vault, each agent receives:

  • A Vault password chosen by the agent

  • A set of recovery codes, downloadable as a PDF

These are critical for accessing data stored in TripZILLA Vault.

Important

  • If you lose both your Vault password and recovery codes,
    TripZILLA cannot recover your access to TripZILLA Vault or its data

This is by design. Since TripZILLA does not have access to your private keys, the data cannot be decrypted under any circumstances.


Why TripZILLA Vault exists

While TripZILLA already applies strong security practices across the platform, certain types of data require an even higher level of protection.

Examples include:

  • Passport information

  • Personally identifiable information

  • Financial or identity documents

TripZILLA Vault ensures that:

  • Sensitive data is encrypted before it is stored

  • Only your company can access it

  • Even TripZILLA itself cannot view the contents

This approach helps meet enterprise security expectations and supports compliance with regulations such as those in the European Union regarding personal data protection.


Summary

TripZILLA Vault provides:

  • End-to-end encryption for sensitive client data

  • Company-level key ownership

  • Per-agent secure access

  • Zero access by TripZILLA to Vault contents

It is designed to give you full control and peace of mind when handling your clients’ most sensitive information.
