Security

Your data security is a priority to us as it is central to our company mission. We build Labstep with global security standards in mind and provide full transparency on our security policies.

Frameworks & Hosting

Amazon Web Services provide a secure and well-tested foundation

Labstep has a continuous working relationship with Amazon Web Services (AWS), allowing for operating and hosting on the most secure and reliable cloud environment. This cooperation allows Labstep to build on a secure system, quickly detecting, iterating and resolving any issues. With Labstep’s active collaboration with AWS, we are responsible for the server maintenance on the platform, rolling out latest bug fixes and patches without requiring any contribution from your side.

Network Security

AWS virtual networking allows for private access to production systems

We use AWS virtual networking to establish connections with limited access protected from the public access. Our production systems are only available to approved networks and are always protected from the public internet, ensuring whitelisted traffic by applying multilayered firewalls which are continuously reassessed for security.

End-to-end Encryption

SSL connections and client-specific keys create a safe connection between client and server

Labstep always encrypts any transferred, stored, or processed customer data according to the best standards. Labstep has both Encryption in Transit and full encryption at REST for S3 buckets, RDS database and ElasticSearch index. Our TLS/SSL connections ensure reliable encryption of all data thatenters Labstep’s servers from the Internet. We use AES-256 encryption to encrypt all the data beingstored in Labstep.

Backup and Accessibility

Labstep provides file back up with exceptional durability

We utilise the most advanced data backup technologies to minimise the risk of customer data loss. Labstep creates raw files for all images and other data uploaded by our users and stores them in an extremely durable Amazon S3 storage service that offers industry-leading data availability, security and performance. Amazon S3 is a storage service with unmatched durability and support, used by the world’s leading organisations.

Our structured data is stored to the MySQL database adapted to synchronise to a backup. If the database failure occurs, backup can be connected with almost no downtime or data loss. The MySQL database is backed up daily and stored, allowing for a quick and accurate data restoration. We alsostore our weekly backups for 1 year and store our data in multiple geo-locations to ensure excellent data durability.
