Security
We provide a reliable and resilient Software-as-a-Service platform that is designed from ground up based on the field’s best practices.
Cloud Security
Cloud Infrastructure Security
All of our services are hosted with Heroku and Amazon Web Services (AWS). They employ a robust security program with multiple certifications. This infrastructure is designed and managed according to security best practices as well as a variety of security compliance standards: FedRAMP, HIPAA, ISO 27001:2013, AICPA SOC 1, SOC 2, SOC 3, PCI DSS, and more. For more information on our provider’s security processes, please visit Heroku Security or AWS Security.
Data Hosting Security
Gluework relies on Heroku and AWS global infrastructure, including the facilities, network, hardware, and operational software (e.g, host OS, virtualization software, etc.) that support the provisioning and use of basic computing resources and storage. Additional information regarding Heroku and AWS Cloud security can be found above.
Data Encryption
Gluework ensures the security and privacy of user information by encrypting data on all servers at rest and in transit. Our systems are designed to ensure data is protected at all times. In Transit – All traffic is encrypted with TLS1.3 enabled by the most secure algorithms. We regularly and automatically verify and renew our security certificates and encryption algorithms to keep your data safe.
At Rest – All at-rest sensitive data is encrypted using AWS Secrets Manager and AWS Key Management Service. All additional data is encrypted using industry-standard AES256 encryption at the storage level.
