Kiuwan uses some of the most advanced technology for Internet security available today. Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology protects your information using encryption and authentication server both of your computer and data between the data center, ensuring that your data in transit is safe, secure and available only to registered users in your organization.
In addition to SSL encryption, your account / data are protected by a mandatory User ID and Password. Any password-protected areas of the Service can be accessed only with a valid password. Each password owner is responsible for keeping the password secret and confidential, and for notifying Kiuwan if the password may have been stolen or otherwise might be misused. For more information, please see our Terms of Use.
DATA STORAGE
Our servers are securely located in a state-of-the-art facility that is managed by Amazon, a premier provider of managed hosting and advanced connectivity solutions. Kiuwan has chosen Amazon because of their reputation for quality service and support as well as their unparalleled reputation for reliably posting many of the internet’s most trafficked Web Systems.
USER DATA PERSISTENCE
Users can decide to delete their account anytime. When an account is deleted, all associated data is deleted as well from the application.
Deleting an account in the application does not mean to unsubscribe from periodical email marketing communications. Users can always unsubscribe from these communications directly clicking the appropriate link in the received emails.
APPLICATION DATA PERSISTENCE
Kiuwan implements the following application analyses persistence policy:
SOURCE CODE PRIVACY
Kiuwan Service follows these procedures:
Exceptions to this behavior are the following:
AMAZON SERVICES
All perimeter doors require key card access and matching biometric palm or fingerprint scan. Visitors are only allowed escorted access to the data center and NOC on an as-needed basis. All internal doors leading to the data center also requires an additional card scan for access. Within the data center, all customer equipment is located in locked cabinets or cages.
PEOPLE AND ACCESS
Amazon Support maintains an account on all hosted systems and applications for the purposes of maintenance and support. In some cases, selected Kiuwan support engineers may also have access to hosted applications and data. Only employees with the highest clearance have access to application data and code. An authentication is done via individual passphrase-protected public keys, rather than passwords, and the servers only accept incoming SSH connections from Kiuwan and from the Kiuwan virtual network (VPC) hosted in Amazon. Application data is only accessible with appropriate credentials, ensuring that there is no possibility of one customer having access to another customer’s data and code without explicit knowledge of their login information.
SAS70
In Addition to regular audits, including 3rd party application penetration testing, the Amazon facilities have undergone a successful SAS70 Type II audit. SAS70 certifies that a service organization has had an in-depth audit of its controls (including control objectives and control activities), which in case of Amazon relates to operational performance and security to safeguard customer data.
BACKUP
Batabase backups are performed daily for Kiuwan Service, and maintained for a minimum of seven days.
PRIVACY
Kiuwan adheres to a strict policy for ensuring the privacy of your personally identifiable information (such as full name, address, e-mail address, and/or other identifiable information). We will never share your information with third parties outside Kiuwan unless you give express permission for us to do so, or unless we are required to do so under applicable law.
