Enterprise Security for Cloud GIS Platforms
How SkyGIS protects your spatial data with encryption, access controls, and redundant infrastructure.
Security Is Non-Negotiable
Spatial data often represents critical infrastructure — power grids, transportation networks, government buildings, industrial facilities. Protecting this data isn't optional; it's a fundamental requirement.
How SkyGIS Protects Your Data
Encryption
- In transit — All data transfers use TLS 1.3 encryption
- At rest — Storage volumes are encrypted with AES-256
- Client-side — Optional end-to-end encryption for sensitive datasets
Access Control
- Role-based permissions — Define who can view, edit, or admin each project
- SSO integration — Connect your existing identity provider (Enterprise)
- Audit logs — Track every access and modification with timestamps and user attribution
- Shareable links — Granular controls including expiration dates and password protection
Infrastructure
- Redundant storage — All data is replicated across multiple availability zones
- Automated backups — Daily snapshots with 30-day retention
- DDoS protection — Enterprise-grade traffic filtering and rate limiting
- SOC 2 compliance — Annual audits by independent security firms
Data Residency
For organizations with data sovereignty requirements, SkyGIS Enterprise supports regional data storage. Choose where your data is physically stored — EU, US, or Asia-Pacific.
Our Commitment
Security isn't a feature we bolted on. It's engineered into every layer of the platform. We undergo regular penetration testing, maintain a responsible disclosure program, and publish transparency reports quarterly.
