Infrastructure and Network Security

Physical Access Control

UXPressia uses Digital Ocean Cloud Hosting with London, UK data center as a hosting provider. Digital Ocean Cloud hosting is compliant with HIPAA, PCI DSS, and GDPR.

Digital Ocean data centers feature a layered security model, including extensive safeguards.

UXPressia employees do not have physical access to Digital Ocean data centers, servers, network equipment, or storage.

Logical Access Control

UXPressia is the assigned administrator of its infrastructure on Digital Ocean Cloud Platform, and only designated authorized UXPressia operations team members have access to configure the infrastructure. Specific private keys are required for individual servers, and keys are stored in a secure and encrypted locations.

Penetration Testing

UXPressia undergoes black box penetration testing, conducted by an independent, third-party agency, on an annual basis. For black box testing, UXPressia provides the agency with an isolated clone of a test client UXPressia instance and a high-level diagram of application architecture.

Intrusion Detection and Prevention

UXPressia has installed the intrusion detection system dhound.io on each server that allows to detect and react on a security events and incidents in real time.

Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery

High Availability

UXPressia is configured in High-availability model and uses properly-provisioned, redundant servers (e.g., multiple load balancers, web servers, replica databases) in the case of failure. As part of regular maintenance, servers are taken out of operation without impacting availability.

Business Continuity

UXPressia keeps regular hourly encrypted backups of data outside of the servers (dedicated file storage). While never expected, in the case of production data loss (i.e., primary data stores lost), UXPressia will able restore data from these backups.

Disaster Recovery

In the event of a region-wide outage, UXPressia has a plan how quickly bring up a duplicate environment on another hosting provider within EU. The UXPressia operations team has extensive experience performing secured migrations.

Data Security and Privacy

Data Encryption

All data in UXPressia servers is automatically encrypted at rest. RSA 2048 is used for backup encryptions. All private keys are kept separately from the live environment.

So, if an intruder were ever able to access any of the physical storage devices, the UXPressia data contained therein would still be impossible to decrypt without the keys, rendering the information a useless jumble of random characters.

UXPressia uses only world-standard encryption algorithms:

AES 256 for symmetric encryption
RSA 2048 for assymetric encryption
SHA512+RSA2048 for digital signing of UXPressia assets

Data in Motion

All communication are restricted with using only encrypted channels. Only TLS 1.2 allowed. The current level of SSL Configuration is A (https://www.ssllabs.com/ssltest/analyze.html?d=uxpressia.com)

Corporate Security

Malware Protection

UXPressia believes that good security practices start with our own team, so UXPressia goes out of own way to protect against internal threats and local vulnerabilities. All company-provided workstations run antiviruses, strongly configured firewalls and other security features.

Risk Management

UXPressia follows the risk management procedures outlined in NIST SP 800-30, which include nine steps for risk assessment and seven steps for risk mitigation.

All Uxpressia product changes must go through code review, CI, and build pipeline to reach production servers. Only designated employees on UXPressia’s operations team have secure shell (SSH) access to production servers.

UXPressia performs testing and risk management on all systems and applications on a regular and ongoing basis. New methods are developed, reviewed, and deployed to production via pull request and internal review. New risk management practices are documented and shared via staff presentations on lessons learned and best practices.

Contingency Planning

The Uxpressia operations team includes service continuity and threat remediation among its top priorities. UXPressia keeps a contingency plan in case of unforeseen events, including risk management, disaster recovery, and customer communication sub-plans that are tested and updated on an ongoing basis and thoroughly reviewed for gaps and changes at least annually.

Disclosure Policy

UXPressia follows the incident handling and response process recommended by SANS, which includes identifying, containing, eradicating, recovering from, communicating, and documenting security events. UXPressia notifies customers of any data breaches as soon as possible via email and phone call, followed by multiple periodic updates throughout each day addressing progress and impact.
