6.3 Security Overview

(a) Data Storage & Access All application data is stored in an AWS cloud database that is only accessible via the platform’s internal subnet. An AWS cache cluster is used for storing temporary data. Developers only have access to this data via a development environment that is segregated from production. Within AWS, the following security protocols are followed:

  • Use AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) policies to assign permissions that determine who is allowed to manage RDS resources.
  • Use security groups to control what IP addresses or Amazon EC2 instances can connect to your databases on a DB instance.
  • Use Secure Socket Layer (SSL) connections with DB instances.
  • Automated backups and snapshots are performed daily and retained for 14 days.
  • The AWS cache cluster instances are only accessible via the platform’s local network.
  • Backed with the the Amazon RDS SLA at https://aws.amazon.com/rds/sla/

(b) File Storage & Access. All client files are stored in the cloud via AWS S3. Read access to this data is not restricted. Write and delete access to this data is only available via the platform to authenticated users using AWS’s Identity and Access Management (IAM) protocol.  AWS S3 objects are redundantly stored on multiple devices across multiple facilities in an Amazon S3 region. Once the objects are stored, Amazon S3 maintains their durability by detecting and repairing any lost redundancy. AWS S3 also regularly verifies the integrity of data stored using checksums. If it detects data corruption, it is repaired using redundant data.

Amazon S3’s standard storage is:

  • Backed with the Amazon S3 SLA  at https://aws.amazon.com/s3/sla/
  • Designed to provide 99.999999999% durability and 99.99% availability of objects over a given year
  • Designed to sustain the concurrent loss of data in two facilities

(c) Application Access. User’s authenticate with the application by logging in with a username and password. Passwords are hashed in the database using bcrypt.

(d) Vulnerability Intelligence Service. Installed in our platform is a service to monitor vulnerabilities. It includes:

  • Vulnerability Assessment
  • User Activity Monitoring
  • File Integrity Monitoring
  • Real-time Alerting
  • Daily Compliance Report
  • Daily Vulnerability Report
  • User Session Playback
  • Deep Process Tracking
  • Network Event Detail
  • Threat Intelligence

6.4 Emergency Security Issues. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if there is an Emergency Security Issue, then PowerPost Digital may automatically Suspend the offending use. Suspension will be to the minimum extent and of the minimum duration required to prevent or terminate the Emergency Security Issue. If PowerPost Digital Suspends an End User Account for any reason without prior notice to User, at User’s request, PowerPost Digital will provide User the reason for the Suspension as soon as is reasonably possible.
