ProWorkflow Data Security and Backups

A few people have asked recently about our security & backup processes – and rightly so!

We know, as you do that this is a really important consideration for any business and as such we work with the team at www.Fastservers.net. They run a highly professional dedicated server facility and we are proud to have a longstanding relationship with them.

A key point to remember is that backups are taken of your data 4 times daily and held on separate drives (on the server) for 14 days. Of course, for your peace of mind, you’re always able to take a backup of your database from within the ProWorkflow application – the ‘Database Download’ tool is in the Administration section of ProWorkflow.

All of our subscription accounts utilize 128 bit secure certificates (HTTPS), are separate installations on the servers and use independent Microsoft SQL databases.

You can also be confident in that access to those subscription servers is restricted to ProActive Software’s internal IP address. Our strict policy ensures that usernames and passwords do not exist in written or offline form and the privacy & confidentiality agreements are in place for both ProWorkflow and FastServer staff.

It’s really important to us that you don’t just assume you’re protected but for you to be informed and know that we’re happy to state our policies and discuss these with you.
