Security

Hosting

Our service is hosted on Amazon's Web Services or AWS. As one of the leaders in server hosting, their infrastructure employs multiple redundancies to ensure availability and multiple access controls to ensure security. To learn more about their security processes, see https://aws.amazon.com/security/.

Encryption

All communication with the Advancement Form service is fully encrypted in transit and at rest. This ensures that all data sent to, stored with or retrieved from our service is protected.

Credit Card Security

Credit cards are never stored, transmitted, or processed on our systems. We rely on Validated Level 1 PCI DSS Compliant Service Providers to transmit, store and process credit card data.

Backups

We maintain full daily backups and store them on Amazon's S3 infrastructure We also do incremental database backups at least every hour that are uploaded immediately to Amazon S3. We never want to lose any of your data, but in the event of a data loss event on our live service, we should lose no more than an hour of data given these procedures.

Monitoring

We monitor the performance and availability of our service using Pingdom. Pingdom allows us to see how our service is performing in real time and notifies us if the service fails for any reason. We use a service called HoneyBadger to track application exceptions. Fixing application issues early greatly improves security as well as improves availability. We also use another service called Skylight that lets us to dig deep to find and fix any performance related issues that may appear. We also use the penetration testing services of Intruder to help ensure the security of our systems.
