Security FAQ

Is my data truly secure?

Yes. We apply the same security standards as Microsoft and Oracle โ€” encryption, MFA, 24/7 monitoring, regular audits โ€” but at optimized costs thanks to our European partners.

What happens if my hosting provider goes down?

Our infrastructures include geo-redundant backups and business continuity plans. In case of major outage, your data is restored from encrypted backups with a recovery objective of under 4 hours.

Can I switch hosting providers after deployment?

Yes, absolutely. You own 100% of your code and data. We can migrate to any European hosting provider of your choice โ€” no vendor lock-in.

What happens to my data at end of contract?

Your choice: full restitution in a readable format (CSV, JSON, SQL) or certified secure deletion. We provide written attestation in both cases.

Are my health data protected?

If you process health data, we use Scaleway certified HDS (Health Data Hosting), the only infrastructure authorized in France for this type of sensitive data.
