Security
Product Security
Product security is of paramount importance at Ava. Ava uses a software development lifecycle in line with general Agile principles. Software patches are released as part of our continuous integration process. Patches that can impact end users will be applied as soon as possible but may necessitate end user notification and scheduling a service window.
Ava performs continuous integration, allowing us to respond rapidly to both functional and security issues. This philosophy is central to our development methodology.
Physical Security
The Ava production infrastructure is hosted in Cloud Service Provider (CSP) environments. Physical access is strictly controlled by professional security staff. Authorized staff must pass two-factor authentication to access data center floors.
Corporate Security
Ava leverages internal services that require transport level security for network access and individually authenticate users. All personnel undergo regular security training to ensure they're equipped to handle security-oriented challenges.
See the AWS Shared Responsibility Model.
Data Protection
Authentication and Access Management
End users may log in to Ava using an Identity Provider, leveraging security assertion protocols. All requests to the Ava's API must be authenticated.
Protection of Customer Data
Data submitted to the Ava service is protected in transit and encrypted at rest. Customer Data is not authorized to exit the Ava production service environment, except in limited circumstances.
Ava maintains distinct data centers in the United States and the EU. Access to Customer Data is limited to those with a business requirement. Multiple layers of access controls are in place, and access is monitored.
