Security

Keeping you safe & secure

Keeping our customers’ data and businesses safe and secure is our top priority. CrystalDB’s cloud native architecture delivers a range of security advantages.

Isolated virtual machines

Every CrystalDB database runs in a dedicated and isolated virtual machine, ensuring separation between customer workloads, even in a multi-tenant environment.

Encrypted data

All stored data is encrypted with a unique key prior to leaving a virtual machine, which is stored securely in our key management system (KMS).

Active monitoring

AutoDBA monitors database activity continually, alerting you to anomalous behaviors and intervening to stop high-risk patterns.

We are currently working towards SOC2 certification, which we aim to complete in the coming months.
