Customer Segregation
By default, since Cloudiway platform is a SaaS application, the platform is shared between customers.
However, each customer project is logically separated and given its own Azure SQL database. Cloudiway is able to provide a dedicated environment to customers who require dedicated environments.
Systems access controls
- Access to the platform is protected by a login-name/password combination.
- Passwords are hashed in a non-reversible way using the SHA-256 algorithm and are not stored on our internal system.
- Once logged in, customers have access only to their set of information.
Patch antivirus scanning
- Up-to-date antivirus software is installed in every computer.
- Servers are automatically patched by Microsoft in Windows Azure.
Data encryption
Customer data are encrypted using the AES-256 algorithm.
Azure SQL databases use default Transparent Data Encryption for all data at rest.
SSL and HTTPS
Communication between client browsers and Cloudiway servers takes place over SSL.
Migration data and IAM data are exchanged over SSL between the cloud providers (ie Google Apps, Office 365, Sales Force, etc…) and the Cloudiway servers.
Data destruction
Confidential customer information is never stored outside of the Windows Azure infrastructure and is automatically destroyed after 90 days of inactivity, or sooner if requested.
Logging
Cloudiway ensures that the appropriate level of logging is implemented at the application level, database level and operating system level, necessary for analysis and investigation in case of an incident or issue.
Logs are backed up daily and retained for 90 days.
