Understanding kDrive Data Security

Update 11/10/2026

This guide details the technical and organizational measures implemented by Infomaniak to secure all your kDrive data, whether it is personal (medical data, identification information) or sensitive (financial information, trade secrets, intellectual property, research and development).

 

Data security and confidentiality

The kDrive infrastructure is based on sovereign data centers located exclusively in Switzerland and certified according to ISO 27001. The content and structure of each customer are systematically encrypted and continuously replicated across at least 3 locations in several data centers managed by Infomaniak. The TIER III+ data centers guarantee high availability and N+1 redundancy for all their critical components.

Storage is performed via Swift, a distributed and highly available cloud storage technology ensuring optimal fault tolerance.

kDrive incorporates several advanced protection levels to secure your files:

  1. To protect data during transfer, the TLS 1.3 encryption protocol (HTTPS) is used systematically.
  2. To protect data at rest, AES 256-bit encryption (AES-256) is used with an individual and unique cryptographic key per kDrive space.

Infomaniak continuously performs security audits and penetration tests on its applications and kDrive infrastructure to identify potential vulnerabilities, strengthen protection, and immunize you against cyberattacks.

  • kDrive offers a detailed access log, a complete history of actions, and a versioning system that can be accessed from the Manager; you can access an activity report (❓: help) to audit the action history of all your users, track changes made to each document, spreadsheet, or presentation, and restore previous versions.
  • File sharing features enhanced security measures (password protection, expiration dates, and secure public links).
  • Two-factor authentication (2FA) (❓: help) provides an additional level of security when logging in; you can choose authentication via the Infomaniak Authenticator app (❓: help) or hardware security keys.
