Patchman Security Scanner: operation and data privacy

There are thousands of cyber threats out there and your business could suffer if your website becomes infected – not only because the site would be unavailable, but also because of the loss of trust amongst your customers and visitors. Patchman Security Scanner offers free and complementary antivirus protection that keeps all of Infomaniak's hosting platforms safe from malware and security breaches.

How Patchman Security Scanner works

Patchman Security Scanner works behind the scenes to detect any security issues. These vulnerabilities could enable malicious persons to alter the content of your sites, damaging your reputation with your customers and search engines

If you do not take any action within seven days of a problem being detected, Patchman automatically fixes security vulnerabilities in most CMS and / or quarantines malware without preventing your sites from functioning properly.

If necessary, it is possible to cancel a security correction or completely disable Patchman Security Scanner from the hosting dashboard.

If Patchman Security Scanner has detected a vulnerability, we also recommend that you check your entire hosting setup if you notice any suspicious modifications of your files that our protection has not picked up automatically.

Data privacy

• Like Infomaniak, Patchman complies with the European Union's General Data Protection Regulation.
• Analyses are performed locally on Infomaniak's servers. The content or signatures of the scanned files are not transmitted outside our infrastructure.
• In compliance with our privacy policy, the data processed is limited to what is strictly necessary and includes the user name, email address, path and file names, mainly for the purpose of communicating the detection of vulnerabilities to the customer.
