Security | |
| Encryption ➫ All data over the wire is encrypted by SSL TLS 1.3. Both between client and our application server and also between our application server and the database. It is also encrypted at rest. | |
| Redundancy / Fault Resilience ➫ The Sonas database is located in the main Amazon Web Services (AWS) Data Centre in Europe (eu-west-1). It consists of a three node, high availability cluster, meaning that should any node fail, two others are waiting to take over. As well as this, each of these servers is located in a different Availability Zone which means it has its own redundant power & networking and is housed in a separate facility, so should anything happen to one, the others will take over, ensuring uninterrupted access to your data. | |
| Regular Backups ➫ We backup all the data several times a day meaning the backed-up data is never more than a few hours behind the live data. | |
| Two Factor Authentication ➫ Sonas has two levels of TFA available. By default we will notify you by email when you login from a new location. You can also choose to increase security by requiring a verification link to be clicked in the email before login is allowed from the new location. | |
