Security & infrastructure

Stream has been designed and developed from the very start as a modern, multi-tenanted web-based application, which takes full advantage of the scalability, security and flexibility of cloud-based software. Stream has been built on the highly reliable IBM Power Systems platform.

Data is held in ISO 27001 certified data centres located in the United Kingdom and the EU. Each data centre has resilient internet connectivity, dual power supply, raided disks etc., meaning the likelihood of failure is low.

A second server is used to host a fully functioning version of the software as a data backup. This second server would be used in the unlikely case of a systems failure. In the case of a failure we have 24×7 maintenance cover.

Stream has firewalls which are supported, configured and maintained by external networking and security specialists.

Stream has been penetration tested with no issues. No other applications run on the production Stream server.

Accessing the Stream application requires an username and password.

We have implemented stringent security within Stream including salted and encrypted password protection together with defensive coding techniques.

Other than via the Stream application login, there is no access to the server from outside our network, i.e. no maintenance, direct database access, data extraction etc.

Limited authorised employees and no external personnel have access to the production server. All access is logged.

You can configure your Stream account so that each user has restricted access to the areas that they need to work in.
