Advantages of SaaS Solutions like CIKLab
SaaS, an ideal solution for small and medium-sized enterprises, offers a flexible and scalable monthly subscription model. This allows SMEs to focus on their core activities without the need to internally manage costly IT resources and infrastructure. Subscription benefits include:
- Quick and secure access to the software 24/7.
- Flexibility for scaling the number of users.
- Regular updates and enhancements.
The central aspect, however, is the level of security provided to the data. No longer is there a need to invest in infrastructure, servers, and internal security—SaaS providers manage data storage and security.
How is CIKLab Secured?
In industrial production, quality is paramount. Quality control data is crucial for manufacturers, necessitating the ability to trace control histories to monitor trends and ensure traceability of analyses and batches.
With CIKLab, assurance is given that data is secure and accessible at all times.
Connecting to CIKLab
Access to the application is secured through a unique identifier and password for each user, protected by an SSL certificate. An SSL certificate establishes a secure connection between a web server and a browser, ensuring that exchanged data is encrypted and protected.
💡 SSL certificates are typically identified by the "https" prefix and a padlock 🔒 in the browser address bar.
Hosting and Data Security
Application and data are hosted in France on private data centers. Infogérance, hosting, and data centers are certified with ISO 27001 and HDS (Health Data Hosting). Data backup strategies adhere to ANSSI (French National Agency for the Security of Information Systems) recommendations, following the 3:2:1:0 principle.
- 3 copies of data: At least two backups in addition to the primary data copy.
- 2 different storage media for CIKLab backups: Hard drives and tape drives.
- 1 off-site daily copy to a third data center.
- 0: An immutable backup for quick data redeployment in case of a cyberattack. These backups are replicated daily on two distant and secure sites.
What is ISO 27001 ?
ISO 27001 is an international standard defining requirements for establishing, maintaining, and improving an information security management system.
It employs risk-based management to:
- Protect information.
- Ensure confidentiality, integrity, and availability of company data.
- Reduce and eliminate cyber threats.
Organizations certified under ISO 27001 demonstrate a high level of mastery over risks related to information security. By choosing an ISO 27001-certified hosting and management service independently audited by LSTI, CIKLab provides its clients and users with an extremely secure environment for data backup and protection.
