Data Security as a Service:
Your Wick data environment bakes in compliance data protection and redundancy on day 1.
In today’s world of growing digital threats, securing your data and applications is more critical than ever. At Wick, we go beyond offering just functionality; we ensure that your data is secure, our infrastructure is resilient, and all operations are safeguarded. Our platform integrates security at its core, offering enterprise-grade protection without compromising performance or ease of use.
Data Protection: Control and Confidentiality
At Wick, your data remains fully under your control. With transparent data retention policies, we only store your information as long as you need. You can easily delete or export data at any time. To ensure no data is lost, we back up all information across multiple data centers, allowing for quick restoration in case of a system failure, minimizing any operational disruptions.
Data security starts with robust backup protocols. All data on the Wick platform is routinely backed up and replicated across multiple data centers to ensure high availability and prevent loss. In the unlikely event of a system failure, we can restore your data quickly, ensuring minimal disruption to your operations.
Encryption: Safeguarding Data at Rest and in Transit
Wick uses robust encryption to protect your data both at rest and in transit. All data on our platform is encrypted on disk, ensuring that even if unauthorized access occurs, the data remains unreadable. Additionally, communication between your applications and our platform is secured with SSL protocols, preventing data from being intercepted or tampered with during transmission.
Secure Access: Role-Based Permissions and Least Privilege
Access control is critical, and Wick employs role-based access control (RBAC) to ensure users only access what they need. By applying the principle of least privilege, we limit exposure in case of compromised credentials. Sensitive data like passwords and tokens are securely managed and injected into applications at runtime, further minimizing risk.
Operational Resilience: Redundancy and Disaster Recovery
Wick is built with redundancy at every level, ensuring continuous availability even if part of the system experiences an issue. Our multi-instance architecture ensures high uptime, and in case of a disaster, we have a robust recovery plan to restore functionality quickly, backed by regular testing of these procedures.
Secure Development: Built-In Protections
Security is embedded into every stage of Wick’s development process. Every feature undergoes rigorous code reviews and security testing before deployment. Our platform follows a “secure by default” approach, ensuring that the most secure settings are applied automatically, reducing the risk of misconfigurations.
Compliance: Meeting Industry Standards
Our platform includes a wide range of built-in compliance checks, ensuring that every module within our data environment adheres to critical industry frameworks. Whenever changes are made to our system or modules, automated compliance checks are triggered to maintain alignment with these standards, providing peace of mind and operational confidence.
- CIS AWS V1.3: This check ensures that all configurations within the AWS environment adhere to the Center for Internet Security’s (CIS) benchmark for AWS cloud security, focusing on best practices for securing cloud services.
- PCI-DSS V3.2: For businesses handling payment data, Wick enforces the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI-DSS) requirements, ensuring that our data environment is compliant with the latest security controls for handling cardholder information.
- NIST-800-53: Wick supports compliance with the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Special Publication 800-53, a robust framework that outlines security and privacy controls for federal information systems and organizations.
- ISO 27001: Wick is designed to meet the ISO 27001 standard, which provides best practices for implementing an information security management system (ISMS). This ensures that our platform adheres to international security management protocols, safeguarding your sensitive data.
- SOC 2: We also ensure that our infrastructure complies with the SOC 2 (Service Organization Control) framework, which focuses on five trust service principles: security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, and privacy.
Continuous Monitoring and Incident Response
Wick continuously monitors for potential threats, allowing real-time detection and response. In the event of a security breach, our incident response team acts swiftly, minimizing impact and keeping customers informed through timely notifications and updates via a dedicated status page.
