Start with a great platform

There are four main cloud-based platforms in the world. Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, Google & AliBaba. We have chosen to use Microsoft Azure as our code and database are heavily reliant on Microsoft's platform. Microsoft has been one of the pioneers of computing over the last 35 years and they go from strength to strength with their new hosted model.
What we look for in a cloud provider is reliability and security. We operate Zahara safe in the knowledge that the platform it sits on is protected. It's a great base layer. It's then down to us to make sure our own boundary is secure and having Cyber Essentials Plus certification helps us operate to a high standard. We then protect our clients' data as best we can with two factor authentication, being an example of a new standard of protection that everyone is now offering or planning to offer.
Annual Pen Test

Our Annual Audit

Every year we undertake a penetration test. We use a third pary company to test for any vulnerabilities in Zahara's application. Results are then acted upon by the developers. We will never share the results with anyone who doesnt work for Zahara but existing and prospective customers will appreciate this process is undertaken annually.
Backup data

Backup of Data

Zahara's data is in constant backup. The databases are mirrored in different UK datacentres so if one fails the other is available. Backups of these database are then created every 15 minutes so we have the ability to go back in time and extract data in the event of a corruption. All backup databases are encrypted. All of the documents you save in Zahara are stored in Azure storage. Microsoft Azure perform distributed backups so they are always made available to us.
