Understanding kDrive Data Security
This guide details the measures implemented by Infomaniak to secure all your kDrive data, whether it is personal (medical data, login credentials) or even sensitive (financial information, trade secrets, intellectual property, research and development, etc.).
Data Security and Privacy
The kDrive infrastructure consists of several services and servers based on different technologies. The content and structure of each customer's content are systematically encrypted and permanently backed up to at least 3 locations in several datacenters managed by Infomaniak. Data is stored and processed exclusively in datacenters located in Switzerland. The datacenters are of the TIER III+ type, guaranteeing high availability and N+1 redundancy for its critical components.
Storage is performed via Swift, a distributed and highly available cloud data storage technology.
kDrive integrates several levels of protection to protect files:
- To protect data in transit, the SSL/TLS encryption protocol is used.
- To protect stored data, AES 128-bit encryption (AES-128-CBC) is used with an individual and unique key per kDrive space.
Infomaniak regularly tests the applications and kDrive infrastructure to identify any potential security vulnerabilities, thereby strengthening security and ensuring protection against attacks.
But also…
- kDrive provides an access log for data, and a history of actions can be viewed directly from the Manager; you can access an activity report to monitor the history of actions performed by users across your entire kDrive; you can also track your data and the changes made to each document, spreadsheet, or presentation.
- Only people with a link to the public files can view them.
- Two-factor authentication provides an additional level of security when logging in; if you use two-factor authentication, you can choose, for example, authentication via the Infomaniak Authenticator app.
- Refer to this other guide if you are looking for information on data analysis.
