Database Security

We provide dedicated / disparate database for each organization with private connection credentials that ensures absolute data segregation. Also our databases can only be accessed directly from our server (which requires an encrypted connection and a password that we safeguard very closely).

Operational Best Practices

All our Stingo CRM customers avail security controls such as fully guarded premises, 24/7 monitoring and multi layered physical access management that are economically unfeasible with typical in-house, on-premise deployments.

  • Stingo CRM is hosted in Microsoft Azure Data centers which are SSAE 16 (SOC1)/ISAE 3402 Type II audited.
  • We don’t have any on-premise server in our physical office and our employees have no direct access to customer data. Our employees are unable to access customer data without customer’s explicit permission in the course of delivering services. Customers have to grant necessary access rights—all such grants are tracked and visible to customers at any time.

Regular backup

Stingo CRM takes daily backup of database and file records of each client instance. This backup is stored on a separate geo redundant storage servers supported by Microsoft Azure Data center. In case of any failure, the service can be restored within 4 to 8 hours.
