VTS implements an enterprise‑grade security framework combining encryption, regulatory compliance, independent audits, and internal secure‑coding practices to safeguard customer and tenant data across all platform layers. Its security posture is built around privacy laws such as GDPR and CCPA, cloud standards, and third‑party certifications.
End‑to‑end e: Data is encrypted in transit and at rest, leveraging industry standards such as TLS 1.2+ for communications and AES‑256 for stored data for protection against interception or unauthorized access.
SOC2 TypeII attestation: VTS undergoes independent SOC2 audits that assess the security, confidentiality, and availability of its systems. External auditors validate controls for logging, access management, and incident response.
Data Privacy Framework (EU‑U.S., UK, and Swiss‑U.S.): Certified by the U.S. Department of Commerce under the Data Privacy Framework, ensuring lawful cross‑border data transfers while adhering to EU‑GDPR principles of transparency, purpose limitation, and minimization.
Role‑based access control: Platform permissions are granted based on organizational roles, limiting access to property or lease data by job function. Multi‑factor authentication (MFA) is available for administrative accounts.
Application security program: The internal Security Engineering team “shifts security left” by embedding secure‑coding checks (SAST, DAST, SCA, IAST) within CI/CD pipelines to detect and fix vulnerabilities before production deployment.
Secure cloud infrastructure: Hosted on Microsoft Azure, benefiting from Azure’s ISO27001‑certified data centers, network segmentation, intrusion detection, and automated backups for business continuity.
Employee security training: All employees receive periodic training on data protection, phishing prevention, and secure handling of customer information, reinforcing a privacy‑first company culture.
Data retention and subject rights: Personal data is stored no longer than seven years from the last interaction unless legally required otherwise. Users can request deletion, correction, or data portability in machine‑readable formats (XML, JSON, CSV).
Incident monitoring and reporting: Continuous vulnerability scanning, audit logging, and intrusion detection help detect anomalies in real time. Any breach or unauthorized access is managed under a documented incident response plan aligned with SOC2 requirements.
VTS follows a structured, quarterly release cadence complemented by smaller patch updates and continuous security monitoring. Updates are managed through a coordinated change and release management process designed to minimize disruption and maintain platform stability.
Quarterly major releases
VTS typically issues three to four major platform updates each year (Spring, Summer, Fall, and Winter), each introducing new AI capabilities, workflow automations, or improvements in modules such as Lease, Market, Data, and Activate.
Each release cycle includes new product innovations, interface enhancements, and ecosystem integrations reflecting user feedback and evolving CRE trends.
Between major releases, incremental updates are deployed for performance tuning, bug fixes, and security improvements. These are applied automatically within VTS’s managed cloud infrastructure.
Preview and testing: Clients using enterprise contracts receive early access previews or sandbox testing environments before global deployment, enabling controlled UAT (User Acceptance Testing).
Automated lifecycle handling: Updates are rolled out in phases across data centers to ensure continuity and reduce the likelihood of downtime. Updates are managed with rollback protection and monitored version control.
Communication and release notes: Detailed release documentation is published for every cycle, summarizing new features, API changes, and usability enhancements. Example: “Fall 2025 Release Notes” detail AI‑powered lease extraction, expanded work order reporting, and tenant‑admin chat.
Customer enablement: VTS Learn and the Help Center publish on‑demand “What’s New” tutorials and role‑specific update guides for leasing, asset management, and marketing teams immediately upon release.
Availability service levels: The platform maintains documented uptime commitments (99.5% monthly), including scheduled maintenance windows during off‑peak hours to apply changes with minimal user disruption.
VTS grants clients full ownership of the data they upload or generate within the platform while providing structured export and portability options aligned with global privacy regulations such as GDPR and CCPA. The company’s policy clearly distinguishes between Client Content, which belongs entirely to the customer, and Usage or Aggregate Data, which VTS retains only for system optimization and analytics.
Client retains ownership
All data and content uploaded, transmitted, or created by a client within the VTS platform are treated as Client Content.
VTS explicitly states that “as between VTS and Client, the Client is the sole owner of all right, title, and interest” in its data, including related intellectual property.
VTS cannot take any action inconsistent with the client’s ownership rights and uses this data only to deliver or support services defined in the subscription agreement.
VTS’s limited rights
VTS is granted a temporary, non‑exclusive license to process and host client data solely for service provision, analytics, and customer support purposes.
Derived or anonymized insights (Aggregate Data and Usage Data) remain VTS’s property for improving platform performance and benchmarking but contain no personally identifying information.
Export options
Clients can request a full export of their data in machine‑readable formats such as XML, JSON, CSV, or text files, enabling migration to other systems or offline backup.
Automated nightly and monthly data refreshes and exports can also be configured through APIs or built‑in integration services, ensuring sustained data portability.
Privacy law compliance
Under GDPR and related frameworks, VTS functions as a Data Processor, while the client acts as the Data Controller responsible for determining lawful use of data.
Individuals may exercise rights to access, correction, deletion, or portability through their client organization; requests for portability are fulfilled in an “open format” (e.g., CSV, XML, JSON).
Retention and deletion: Personal data is retained only for as long as necessary for legitimate business use—no longer than seven years from the last user interaction—after which deletion or anonymization occurs unless legal obligations require otherwise.
VTS’s contract renewal and cancellation terms are defined in its Subscription Services Agreement, which applies to all cloud-based solutions under the VTS Platform. These terms outline renewal procedures, termination rights, data return timelines, and financial obligations upon contract end.
Each client contract specifies its own Subscription Term in the service order form (usually 12 months or multi‑year, based on portfolio size).
The master agreement remains active until all individual orders have expired or been terminated.
Auto-Renewal
Unless otherwise stated in the service order, subscriptions automatically renew on the same terms and for the same period as the initial term.
VTS notifies clients ahead of renewal and allows renewal modifications during the notice window.
Clients can renegotiate renewal pricing, seat counts, and modules before the new term begins.
Renewal typically includes ongoing product updates, API access, and upgraded functionality released during the subscription year.
Either party may terminate the agreement if the other is in material breach and fails to cure it within 30 days of written notice.
Immediate termination is permitted if a party becomes subject to insolvency, receivership, or bankruptcy proceedings.
Suspension Rights
VTS may temporarily suspend services or remove data if:
A client violates legal or contractual usage restrictions.
Payments are more than 30 days overdue after written notice.
Client-Initiated Cancellation
Clients may cancel subscriptions at the end of the current term by providing written notice before renewal.
Early termination during an active term does not result in refunds; all committed fees remain due.
Data Return Period
Upon contract termination, clients may request a data export within 60 days. VTS provides data in flat file formats (.csv, .xls, .txt, etc.) suitable for migration.
After 60 days, VTS may delete all client data from active servers but retain archival copies solely for compliance purposes.
Data Retention and Destruction
VTS meets multiple international compliance standards centered on data protection, privacy, and operational transparency for commercial real estate (CRE) technology. Its compliance framework combines independent audits, global privacy certifications, and adherence to major regulatory models.

ISO27001 Alignment
Operational processes align with ISO27001 Information Security Management System (ISMS) standards.
The system undergoes yearly surveillance audits and full recertification every three years to demonstrate ongoing improvement and control effectiveness.
EU–U.S., UK, and Swiss–U.S. Data Privacy Frameworks (DPF)
Officially certified with the U.S. Department of Commerce for compliance with transatlantic data transfer principles.
Ensures lawful cross-border transfers of personal data while protecting individual rights under GDPR and UK data protection laws.
