III - What we're doing to keep your data and our infrastructure safe and to ensure fast and effective responses to security issues.
Methodology:
The security and safety of customer data, our applications and the supporting infrastructure is our top priority. We achieve a high level of security by following many industry best practices and regularly reviewing and improving our security policies and processes.
Our staff is trained and briefed to ensure that our security policy is executed thoroughly across all disciplines and teams, including customer service, our software development team as well as infrastructure operations.
Network Security:
Our network is protected by redundant firewalls and load balancers. Our data center providers employ additional constant performance and security monitoring of the used infrastructure. We monitor all systems 24/7 for availability and performance related incidents to pro-actively troubleshoot and resolve issues. Many of our servers and network equipment are designed in a redundant way with automatic active failover.
Application Security:
Our applications feature robust security mechanisms and use or support encrypted storage of select data as well as backups and hashed passwords if applicable.

Transmission Security:
All communications with TestRail cloud instances or our customer portal are encrypted using industry standard SSL and HTTPS. For email, our infrastructure supports TLS, a protocol that encrypts and delivers email securely between servers. The TestRail server edition also supports SSL for the application as well as email delivery. The use of SSL is also supported and encouraged for integrations with third-party systems.
Development Practices:
Our teams follow many industry best practices to achieve a high level of security in our code and infrastructure. To ensure a high code quality, we employ regular code reviews, track changes rigorously and train team members on common relevant attack vectors. We also maintain our own secure framework as part of our stack to limit third-party dependencies and to manage critical code in a central place.
