Defense-in-Depth Strategy

We apply security controls at every layer of our infrastructure, from physical data centers to application logic.

🔒

Encryption Everywhere

All geospatial data is encrypted in transit and at rest using industry-standard protocols.

  • TLS 1.3 for all data in transit
  • AES-256 encryption for data at rest
  • Customer-managed encryption keys (KMS)
  • End-to-end encryption for sensitive layers
👤

Zero Trust Access

Strict identity and access management ensures only authorized personnel and systems reach your data.

  • Multi-factor authentication (MFA) enforced
  • Role-based access control (RBAC)
  • Single Sign-On (SAML 2.0 / OAuth 2.0)
  • Just-in-time privileged access
  • \n

Privacy by Design

We treat your geospatial data as yours alone. We never sell, share, or train AI models on customer data.

How We Handle Your Data

GeoServer operates under strict data processing agreements. All spatial datasets, metadata, and user attributes remain isolated within your tenant environment. Our infrastructure is logically separated, and our engineers require dual-approval, time-bound access for any maintenance tasks.

You retain full ownership and control. Export, migration, and permanent deletion requests are processed within SLA timelines with cryptographic verification of data removal.

  • Data minimization & purpose limitation
  • Automated retention & secure deletion
  • DPA & SCCs available for all clients
  • Right to be forgotten fully supported

Common Security Questions

No. Customer data is strictly isolated and never used for model training, analytics aggregation, or third-party sharing. Your spatial datasets remain exclusively within your tenant environment.

Backups are encrypted with AES-256 and stored in geographically redundant zones. Access requires multi-person approval and is logged immutably. Restoration drills are performed quarterly.

Yes. Enterprise customers can enable Customer-Managed Keys (CMK) via AWS KMS, Azure Key Vault, or Google Cloud KMS. This ensures you retain cryptographic control over all data at rest.

We follow NIST SP 800-61 guidelines. Incidents are triaged within 1 hour, contain within 4 hours, and full post-incident reports are shared with affected customers within 5 business days. We notify regulators within required statutory windows.

Absolutely. We maintain an up-to-date subprocessor list, offer standard and custom Data Processing Agreements, and support EU Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) for cross-border transfers.
