Security Practice
We employ enterprise-grade security and privacy controls. You might also be interested in reviewing our Terms of Service and our Privacy Policy.
Where is this data stored and how is it secured?
Data is stored in AWS in US data centers. As such, Vocus.io inherits the control environment which AWS maintains and demonstrates via SSAE16 SOC 1, 2 and 3, ISO 27001 and FedRAMP/FISMA reports and certifications.
We follow best practices in SaaS data security including SSL encryption, logging, and two-factor authentication.
We monitor our systems 24/7/365 with a variety of performance measurement and error-checking tools. When problems are detected, our ops team is notified immediately, and the issues are investigated.
How do you manage availability and recoverability?
We have redundancy designed around all major components of our infrastructure (servers, database) spread across multiple availability zones. Automated backups are created on daily basis.
