Application security is a team effort. When developing DataSnipper, security is DataSnipper top priority. Our team of developers consistently carries out code reviews to ensure that only high-quality secure code makes its way into our product. We have many manual and automated tests that check the security of potential weak points like Remote Code Execution, SQL injections, cross-site scripting, session and authentication weaknesses, and much more. In addition, we carry out regular penetration tests.

What is application availability?

Application Availability is about making sure the DataSnipper application and servers run continuously.

How does DataSnipper ensure application availability?

DataSnipper is a local application and it keeps working without an internet connection. If any issue arises it is can always be solved by reinstalling a stable version of DataSnipper or the operating system. During development, every code change is tested against a large set of unit and static tests, and is only merged after approval from a senior developer. Before every release, DataSnipper QA team performs a wide range of security, functionality, and availability tests to ensure the quality of our applications.

Do you make backups and is there a recovery process?

Backups are created daily and available for a limited time, always fully encrypted. DataSnippers development team and 3rd parties carry out regular disaster recovery and security tests on DataSnipper applications and infrastructure to ensure continuity of the operations.
