We implement strong encryption standards to protect your data both at rest and in transit. This means your sensitive information is always encrypted, whether it’s stored in our databases or sent over the internet.
Network Security
Our network is safeguarded with industry-standard firewalls and monitored continuously for any suspicious activity. Azure’s distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) protection defends against attacks aimed at overwhelming our resources and ensures your data is accessible when you need it.
Access Control
We adhere to a strict policy of least privilege, ensuring only authorized personnel have access to your data. Our comprehensive identity and access management solutions include multi-factor authentication, role-based access control, and rigorous audit trails.
Data Resiliency
Azure’s geographically distributed data centers provide high availability and data redundancy. Your data is backed up regularly, ensuring business continuity even in the face of disasters.
Compliance and Privacy
Our platform is built in alignment with global standards and local regulations. We are committed to ensuring our services meet the requirements of GDPR, HIPAA, and other critical data protection laws. Regular audits, both internal and external, help us maintain our compliance posture.
Continuous Monitoring and Improvement
Our security landscape is ever-evolving. We continuously monitor our systems for vulnerabilities and apply timely patches and updates. Our dedicated security team is committed to improving our security posture, staying ahead of new threats, and ensuring our defenses remain robust.

Azure Firewall is a cloud-native and intelligent network firewall security service that provides optimal protection to your network resources. It offers high availability and unrestricted cloud scalability, ensuring your network is protected against threats without compromising on performance.
Azure DDoS Protection
Azure’s DDoS protection service guards against distributed denial-of-service attacks, ensuring your applications remain available, and providing detailed analytics if an attack occurs. It’s integrated with Azure’s application services and applies adaptive tuning based on your web traffic patterns.
Secure Development Lifecycle (SDL)
Microsoft ensures that Azure services are designed and operated in accordance with their security lifecycle, a comprehensive process that embeds security requirements into every phase of the development process.
Data Encryption
Azure provides strong encryption services for data at rest and in transit. Azure Storage Service Encryption encrypts your data before storing it and decrypts it for you when you access it. Azure also supports a range of encryption capabilities for data in transit, such as TLS and other encryption standards.
