Security
We treat your data as highly sensitive. We also know you need a tool which is reliable, fast and works consistently. As such:
- All server instances are with Amazon AWS. These are multi-region HA AWS instances, using Kubernetes for orchestration.
- Customer data is stored in managed Postgres, which is also encrypted. All code is 12 Factor.
- We won't use any observation tools that record your data and could potentially breach privacy.
- For the purposes of testing and development, we create sample or obfuscated data sets to use in Development environments. We will never download any data that has identifiable information.
- Server and system access is controlled by at least two different factors (not intentionally being cryptic, but what we're saying is that someone can't just walk into our office and be able to SSH into Production)
