frontline.io solution is based on high-end solutions provided by leading IT companies including Microsoft, Google, and MongoDB, while supporting the highest standards of security and regulations.

 

How my data is secured using frontline.io – The Highlights:

  • Data is stored at one of the top three secured cloud providers.
    • The storage cloud encrypts customer content stored at rest, without any action required from the customer, using
           one  or more encryption mechanisms.
    • All data stored in a storage cloud is encrypted at the storage level using AES256, with the exception of a small number
           of Persistent Disks created before 2015 that use AES128.
    • The cloud service uses a common cryptographic library, Tink, which incorporates our FIPS 140-2 validated module,
            BoringCrypto, to implement encryption consistently across almost all Cloud products. Consistent use of a common
            library means that only a small team of cryptographers needs to implement and maintain this tightly controlled and
            reviewed code.
  • Only authorized users can view the data.
    • Only invited users can join the workspace.
    • Permissions and authorization are assigned to each user.
    • Multi Factors Authentication on sign-in.
    • User’s data is stored in a secured database by MongoDB.
  • Guest users
    • Guests cannot access any private knowledge base.
    • Guests can join the virtual training room or remote support only if invited and admitted.
    • Guest data is not stored on the guest device and therefore cannot be copied or reused.
