About

WorkBOS is built by Shahzad & Rainer LLC

Two founders on opposite sides of the world, working together since 2023: an operations architect in Multan, and an attorney and philanthropist in New Hampshire. We have never met in person. We have shipped nine ventures together, and our CTO builds alongside us. Everyone who builds WorkBOS is named on /team.

WorkBOS exists because running a small business should not require eight separate systems that do not talk to each other. We built the thing we needed ourselves, then made it something anyone can run their company on, and resell under their own brand. The longer version, with dates, is in our story.

Straight answers

The questions buyers actually ask

Who am I contracting with?
Shahzad & Rainer LLC, doing business as WorkBOS. It is named as the counterparty in our Terms, as the data controller in our Privacy Policy, and as the processor in our DPA.
Are you WorkOS, WorkBoss or WorkBoard?
No. Those are three separate companies with three separate products, and we are not affiliated with any of them. WorkOS (workos.com) is a developer API for enterprise SSO and SCIM; WorkBoss (workboss.com) is field-service management software for trades; WorkBoard (workboard.com) is enterprise OKR software. WorkBOS (workbos.com) is a business operating system published by Shahzad & Rainer LLC. The full comparison is on what is WorkBOS.
Where does my data live?
Application and edge delivery run on Vercel. The database, file storage and backups run on Supabase (AWS) in the ap-southeast-1 (Singapore) region. Full details, including every subprocessor, are on /subprocessors and /security.
Are you SOC 2 or ISO 27001 certified?
No, and we will not imply otherwise. We hold no third-party security certification today. What we do have is documented and testable: database-enforced row-level security for tenant isolation, role-based access control with per-page permissions, virus-scanned uploads that fail closed, encrypted secrets and signature-verified payment webhooks. Our certification roadmap and our GDPR, UK GDPR, CCPA/CPRA, PIPEDA, PDPL and DPDP posture are set out on /compliance.
What happens to my data if you disappear?
Every module exports. Backups run on a schedule and are restorable. If you ever want out, you leave with your data. See /security for the mechanics and /contact to ask us anything directly.
Is it really the same product I resell?
Yes. Resellers run the identical platform under their own brand and domain, with their own pricing and their own client workspaces. See /resellers.
