Overview

We protect your information from security threats using:

  • Firewalls: We use CloudFlare's Web Application Firewall in front of all page and API endpoints.
  • Strong authorisation and authentication: We use rotating and securely stored API keys to connect to data stores, multi-factor authentication for all administrative access, strong user passwords and cryptographically random account access tokens.
  • Supply-chain validation: We run GitHub's Dependabot on all of our source code to detect vulnerable dependencies, and we update all identified vulnerable packages (or implement a mitigation where an update is unavailable) within 72 hours of being alerted.
  • Secure software development: We develop software securely, including scanning all our source code with SonarCloud, following the OWASP Top 10, using mature web application frameworks, running a high level of automated testing coverage and including security-focussed test cases as core business practice. We patch any identified vulnerabilities within 24 hours of their discovery.
  • Backups: We store daily shapshot backups of all customer data in both online and offline locations, transferring them only over encrypted connections, and regularly testing our restoration process.
