Introduction

We want our customers to sleep easy knowing that their data is safe and private. At Nectir, security is a fundamental part of our business. It’s core to our product development and a first priority in system protection and response. We believe that it’s only through complete transparency that trust is formed, and consistently enhancing our security that trust is maintained.

While reading about our security please also read our Privacy Policy and Customer Terms of Service.

Infrastructure Security

Nectir defines its network boundaries using a combination of load balancers, firewalls, and data environments. We use these to control which services we expose to the Internet and to segment our production work from the rest of our computing infrastructure. We limit who has access to our production infrastructure based on business need and strongly authenticate that access.

  • The entire Nectir service is delivered via the cloud. We do not store any client information on local physical servers.
  • Nectir uses Microsoft Azure to host our services, store data and backup data.
  • Customer data is stored in a multi-tenant database that is designed to segregate and restrict Customer Data access based on business needs. The architecture provides an effective logical data separation for different customers via a customer-specific unique identifier and allows the use of customer and user role based access privileges.
  • We test for potential vulnerabilities such as application vulnerabilities as well as following Microsoft’s Azure security guidelines as detailed here

Activity

Nectir uses an event-sourced application architecture. We record events that have occurred within the system and present this easily as an activity overview.

Authentication

Nectir uses administrator triggered invitations to authorise user access. Only validated users who have been invited are able to gain access to an account. The user identity is validated in two ways:

  • By validating email addresses and/or;
  • By validating against an integrated identity federation provider.

Nectir promotes integration with the Customer’s primary authentication service, but it is not required.

If the Customer’s user credentials are stored by Nectir, they will be stored using industry standard cryptographic hashes and hash salting.

For more information on Authorisation Security please contact us.

Access and Permissions

Nectir uses administrator triggered invitations to authorise user access. Only validated users who have been invited are able to gain access to an account. The user identity is validated in two ways:

  • Accounts are provisioned by the Customer  through a sign-up process. The Customer automatically becomes the administrator user.
  • The administrator user grant normal users access via invitation described in the authentication section.
  • The administrator has sole administration rights and controls until they provide user or group-specific permissions.
  • Only users assigned with System Permissions have administrator level right that allow for user management and permission assigning capability.
  • Administrators are able to suspend or terminate user access
