How do we keep your files secure

The 3D digital images are stored in a highly secure on-line system, and this has the following features:

  • The software & architecture itself is built with the principles of least privilege in mind; this practise aims to ensure that your data cannot accidentally leak to unauthorised personnel.
  • The portal is built using the latest stable software & libraries, and is kept up to date with the latest patches at regular intervals.
  • All data is transmitted between the client & the servers using HTTPS and the latest recommended ciphers as recommended by web security professionals worldwide.
  • The portal is penetration tested at regular intervals by experienced web security professionals (using the OWASP guidelines as a base).
  • When the data is decrypted for processing at our servers, it is then stored immediately to encrypted disks, ensuring that if any physical disks are ever compromised, your data is safe and cannot be accessed by unauthorised users.
  • We only use ISO 27001 accredited data centres, an international standard which implements the current best practises for information security.
  • Your data is securely backed up offsite on a regular basis, ensuring that in the event of a catastrophic data-centre failure, we will be able to restore it (as well as the service itself) to a point-in-time within the last 24 hours.
