Encryption in transit and at rest



Your data is always safe with us. Whenever you communicate with the retraced platform, all data is always encrypted with the highest security standards of SSL encryption. All transmission also happens only in the newer HTTP/2 protocol. All data ever submitted into the retraced platform is in addition protected against any unauthorized access by encrypting it at rest with the respective highest security standard per component.

Role based access control



Every piece of data is access controlled with an industry-standard role-based access control mechanism. Every access request requires specific roles assigned to the requester to get access to the information. This standardized mechanism ensures with its simplification extreme transparency into who can access which information.

Redundancy and disaster recovery



Redundancy and disaster recovery are our foundational pillars to create the retraced platform. All our structure is built so that even in case of technical unexpected scenarios (in legal words often referred to as Force Majeure) like regional unavailability, the platform shall work as if nothing has happened. Our database is even replicated in real-time between Frankfurt (Germany) and Amsterdam (Netherlands) to ensure extremely high availability with the top-of-the-class Oracle Cloud Guard technology.

We are not only setting a standard, but we also keep it.
