Etcembly employs encryption for all stored data and exclusively uses HTTPS for secure data transmission. Our back-end infrastructure operates behind firewalls with no direct internet exposure - only designated web servers are accessible, maintaining strict network segmentation.

Data ownership remains fully with our users. Etcembly claims no rights to your intellectual property. Our platform will support thousands of researchers across academic institutions and commercial organisations in developing their proprietary innovations.

Our architecture prioritises continuous uptime and data protection through multiple redundancy layers. Database systems hosted on GCP, AWS and utilise synchronous cross-datacentre replication. All stored information is protected through encryption.

Beyond standard measures, Etcembly implements comprehensive backup strategies to guarantee data recoverability. We maintain continuous database transaction logs alongside daily backup snapshots, enabling our engineering team to restore data to any specific moment within a 7-day window. Additionally, daily snapshots are preserved in geographically separate availability zones as protection against major outages.

Production data resides on isolated networks separate from internal systems, requiring explicit administrative authorisation for any access. Permissions are granted solely on a need-to-know basis and limited to specific timeframes.

Our security framework is built upon a standards-based foundation.  Alignment with NIST cybersecurity guidelines and ISO information security specifications ensures comprehensive security investments.
