Security

Nblocks is certified according to ISO/IEC 27001:2013 which is an internationally recognized standard that provides a framework for information security management.

By undergoing the certification process, we implemented an information security management system that meets international standards which ensures nblocks follows industry best practices when it comes to managing the security and confidentiality of information and data.

We are fully committed to GDPR compliance as part of our unwavering dedication to safeguarding your personal data. All our AWS resources are collected in a Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) in an AWS data center within the EU (Ireland).

Transparency, data minimization, consent, robust security measures, a dedicated Data Protection Officer, and a commitment to swift data breach response are the pillars of our approach. We respect the rights under GDPR, which include the right to access, correct, delete, or transfer your data, as well as the right to withdraw consent.

Nblocks is hosted in a Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) in Amazon Web Service (AWS). AWS data centers practice the highest standards in both physical and digital protection against data breaches and are certified with ISO 27001 amongst others.

All application and database data both in transfer and at rest are encrypted and the only entry points to Nblocks infrastructure from the outside world are port 80 and 443. The sole purpose of port 80 is to gracefully redirect traffic to the encrypted HTTPS port 443.Data in transit over open networks are encrypted using HTTPS/TLS.

On the infrastructure level access to production environments with databases and file storage are completely restricted. Only system administrators that are responsible for operation and maintenance can temporarily access data during a set time window, geographical place and key pair. This access is granted case by case by the CTO.
