    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.
