Security | Shifton

We take security seriously. And it’s not just a statement, but a way we plan, develop and deliver our product.

Infrastructure Security

Shifton’s services and data are hosted in EU region

Network

All of our servers are within our own virtual private cloud (VPC) with network access control lists (ACLs) that prevent unauthorised requests getting to our internal network.

Permissions and Authentication

Access to customer data is limited to authorised employees who require it for their job.

Encryption

All data encrypted on transfer with high-grade encryption. All endpoints, either Interfaces or APIs limited to HTTPS access. We enforce best practices like use of TLS 1.3, HSTS and CAA, always receiving best result at
Qualys SSL labs test

Incident Response

We implement a protocol for handling security events which includes escalation procedures, rapid mitigation and post-mortem.

Disaster Recovery, Back Ups and Monitoring

We have a multi-region recovery and failover deployment, assuring customer data safety and high availability. We monitor all system components and effectively respond to issues that arise.

Product Security Features
