Imagine being able to store passwords, API keys, and confidential notes directly in your boards – without worrying who might see them or whether version history exposes sensitive values. With Encrypted Column Values, securing sensitive data inside monday.com becomes simple, intuitive, and fully under your control.

Secure sensitive data right where your work happens

Encrypted Column Values brings strong, end-to-end encryption directly into your existing monday.com workflow. Instead of relying on external tools or insecure notes, your team can encrypt and decrypt Text and Long Text column values exactly where they already collaborate – inside board items.
No context switching. No extra systems. Just secure data, built into your daily work.

A familiar experience, no learning curve

The Encryption Assistant is available directly from the item view and item menu. This means your team can encrypt or decrypt sensitive values with just a few clicks, without leaving the board or disrupting focus.
The experience feels native to monday.com, so adoption is immediate – even for non-technical users.

Privacy-first, browser-based encryption

All encryption and decryption happen entirely in the browser, using AES-256-GCM, an industry-standard encryption algorithm trusted for highly sensitive information.
Because of this architecture:

• Plaintext values never leave the user’s device
• Encryption keys are never sent to external servers
• No readable secrets are stored in board cells or version history

Your data stays private.

Zero-knowledge protection for your team

One of the most important aspects of Encrypted Column Values is its zero-knowledge model.
Only you and your team hold the shared secret.
No vendor access. No hidden copies. No backdoors.
This makes the app especially suitable for organizations with strict internal security policies or compliance requirements.
