How does Recorded Future keep data secure?

Recorded Future partners with experts and legal counsel in over twenty different countries and is annually audited against ISO 27701 to ensure we understand our compliance obligations and stay abreast of the latest regulations. 

Recorded Future publishes and strictly adheres to a privacy policy aimed at protecting all parties that interact with our service. Our [Privacy Policy](https://www.recordedfuture.com/fr/privacy-policy/) explicitly details the information we may collect and how Recorded Future will use that information.

While no measures can ever guarantee absolute security, Recorded Future takes commercially reasonable and appropriate security measures to protect against unauthorized access to or unauthorized alteration, disclosure, or destruction of data. 

These include internal reviews of our data collection, storage, and processing practices, and security measures, as well as physical security measures to guard against unauthorized access.

How does Recorded Future ensure my privacy?

Recorded Future fully recognizes the sensitive nature of the data that we handle, and that is why we’re committed to safeguarding all information we store from any unauthorized access.

Customer Data stored by Recorded Future is primarily located in data centers secured by AWS, which offers unparalleled physical and information security. These servers are housed separately from Recorded Future’s corporate offices and are distributed globally.

Recorded Future operates a ‘least privileged access’ approach to all infrastructure and data across our operations. This is determined by our internal access policies and associated provisioning processes, which is audited no less than annually. These processes are SOC 2 Type 2, ISO 27001, and 27701 certified and are strictly tied to the needs of the job role. 

Our robust infrastructure security systems are supplemented by extensive logging and auditing protocols to prevent any instance of improper access by either internal or external parties. These policies and systems ensure that only those employees with a valid business purpose and specific permission have the ability to access sensitive data. Not only are all employees subject to mandatory screening, but these actions are also extensively logged and audited to ensure policy compliance.

For access to our production infrastructure, we have role-based access enforced by hardware token-based authentication and limited administrative access that is regularly reviewed.

How do you ensure information related to clients is not misused by employees?

Recorded Future uses a variety of security measures to protect Customer Data, including encryption.
- Data at rest: Recorded Future encrypts Customer Data at rest using Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) 256-bit encryption.
- Data in transit: Recorded Future encrypts data in transit using Transport Layer Security (TLS) 1.2.
- Access controls: Recorded Future uses access controls to restrict who can access Customer Data. Only authorized personnel have access to Customer Data for specific purposes.
- Key Management Infrastructure: The encryption method and Key Management Infrastructure are under the control of Recorded Future. Customer Data is encrypted before being inserted into the database, and the databases are stored on encrypted Elastic Block Store (EBS) volumes.

Does Recorded Future encrypt customer data?

Recorded Future software development life cycle is ISO 27001, 9001, and NIST 800-200 certified. We make extensive use of the Recorded Future Platform to track and prioritize vulnerabilities that may impact our technical infrastructure (via our [Vulnerability Intelligence Module](https://www.recordedfuture.com/fr/platform/vulnerability-intelligence)); identify threat actors and their TTPs (via our [SecOps](https://www.recordedfuture.com/fr/platform/secops-intelligence) and [Threat Intelligence Module](https://www.recordedfuture.com/fr/platform/threat-intelligence)); identify potential compromises ([Brand](https://www.recordedfuture.com/fr/platform/brand-intelligence) and [Identity](https://www.recordedfuture.com/fr/platform/identity-intelligence) Intelligence Modules); and monitor both our attack-surface ([Attack Surface Intelligence](https://www.recordedfuture.com/fr/platform/attack-surface-intelligence)) and the security of our third parties ([Third-Party](https://www.recordedfuture.com/fr/platform/third-party-intelligence) Intelligence Module). 

Recorded Future runs a number of scans on its environment to identify potential issues, including static and dynamic application security testing (SAST and DAST) and external vulnerability scanning.

A Configuration Management System is used, which allows our teams to comprehensively patch vulnerabilities across our entire cloud infrastructure promptly and comprehensively. Plus, Recorded Future utilizes a web application firewall service to look for and block traffic that would appear to be exploiting vulnerabilities. This service includes active denial-of-service mitigation measures. 

Recorded Future uses exclusively top-tier third-party hosting providers to ensure availability and regularly backs-up data at these geographically distributed facilities to ensure minimum disruption.

Recorded Future has a robust [Bug Bounty Program](https://hackerone.com/recorded-future?type=team) externally managed by HackerOne to leverage its massive community. This is supplemented by an extensive penetration testing program whereby external experts (no less than annually) identify potential vulnerabilities for remediation.

Our robust infrastructure security systems are supplemented by extensive logging and auditing protocols to prevent any instance of improper access by either internal or external parties. These policies and systems ensure that only those employees with a valid business purpose and specific permission have the ability to access sensitive or customer-provided data. Not only are all employees subject to mandatory screening, but these actions are also extensively logged and audited to ensure policy compliance.
