Security
Insurance data is sensitive. We build accordingly, with encrypted workflows, strict access controls and independently verified security practices.
ISO 27001 certification
We are a certified ISO 27001 company, demonstrating to regulatory authorities and other interested parties that we take security of information we hold seriously and, having identified risks, we do as much as is reasonably possible to address them.
Our ISMS framework helps to reduce the likelihood of breaches, and the controls we have in place reduce the potential impacts of these security risks which is fundamental to our partners. This internationally recognised ‘best-practice’ standard allows our clients to feel safe and secure, and reassures partners that we look after their valuable assets and information security.
We must take extra care when collecting and using these types of information. Generally the personal data we collect falls into the following categories:
Secure connections
All traffic between our APIs and client-facing applications is encrypted and served over HTTPS (enforced with HSTS) using the strongest TLS security policies. We also submit all of our applications to external penetration testing.
Access control lists
We deploy group-based and role-based access control policies for data access on both the infrastructure and application level. We also keep a full audit log of administrative and user access.
Encryption of sensitive data
All sensitive data in our applications is encrypted at rest using AES-256 Ciphers. We only keep sensitive data on privately accessible servers, never public.
Alerting and monitoring
Our applications are monitored and alerts are automatically triggered if something looks out of the ordinary. This tells us if there's a problem, so you don't have to.
Infrastructure isolation & protection
Each of our applications is deployed within the AWS Cloud and is isolated on its own resources - within its own account and inside its own VPC. Sensitive resources, such as databases, are only able to communicate through private connections and are not available for access on the outside internet.
