Enterprise Infrastructure

Secure by Design,
Built for Continuity

We utilize a dual-cloud strategy leveraging Amazon Web Services (AWS) for production and Microsoft Azure for disaster recovery, ensuring your data is always safe, secure, and accessible.

Dual Cloud Architecture

Real-time production on AWS with nightly replication to Azure hot-standby.

Comprehensive Security

All client sites are accessible over HTTPS using 256-bit SSL certificates. User passwords are encrypted using one-way hashes. Two-factor authentication (2FA) is available and recommended for all accounts.

  • ISO 27001
  • Cyber Essentials Certified
  • OAuth & SSO Support

Business Continuity

Nightly backups of SQL data and document stores are replicated from AWS to Azure. Azure hosts standby servers running day-old backups, ready to take over in a disaster scenario ensuring minimal downtime.

  • Nightly Cross-Cloud Sync
  • Azure Hot Standby

Data Sovereignty

We provide instances hosted in Ireland (EU) and London (UK) for our European clients, and North Virginia (US) for our American clients. Data does not move off cloud servers without explicit client permission.

  • UK, EU & US Hosting Options
  • Backups held in same region

Technical Specifications

Hosting Environment

Amazon Web Services (Production)

  • Production Web Hosting (EC2)
  • Production Database (RDS)
  • Locations: Ireland, London, N. Virginia

Microsoft Azure (DR & Backup)

  • Backup Web Hosting (VM)
  • Backup Database (SQL Database)
  • Backups stored is same region as Prod

Backup & Validation

All cloud servers are backed up nightly using in-house developed scripts. SQL data and document stores are copied to redundant application and database servers on Azure.

  • Daily: Live server data from AWS backed up to Azure.
  • Retention: Azure holds previous 30 days of backups + 1 for the last day of each month. AWS retains previous 7 days.
  • Validation: Database integrity is automatically checked upon restoration to redundant servers.

Development Security

Sysero software is developed entirely in-house. Developers work on virtualised machines accessed via a secured Router-based VPN. No data (other than cached email) is stored on local laptop drives.

Access Control Options:The system supports multiple logon methods including Office365, iManage, HighQ, NetDocs, and standard Forms logon. Access can be restricted by IP range or forced to specific OAuth providers.
