About
There are several key reasons why we have chosen to use AWS for data hosting:
- Security – Protecting your data and security is always of the highest priority. AWS and the tools we use to manage our infrastructure give us improved control, visibility, and auditing of changes made within the infrastructure.
- Scalability – AWS provides great flexibility in how we monitor and scale our application and infrastructure to meet our customers’ needs and expectations.
- Flexibility – Public cloud providers such as AWS offer a range of technical capabilities which we can use to improve our capabilities, both in terms of delivering new features to our customers as well as keeping the application running smoothly.
- Availability – AWS gives us the tools to deliver consistently high availability to all users worldwide.
- Infrastructure Certification – AWS is certified under the ASD Certified Cloud Services List (CCSL) for unclassified data and aligns with the compliance requirements of ISO-27001 in its infrastructure. This means that our hosting infrastructure meets global industry standards necessary for clients who operate in highly regulated industries.
