Where will my data reside if I choose Auctom's SOC services?
​We offer a range of flexible options to cater to your data needs and preferences. Your logs can reside within our secure data centers, on-premise at your data center, or in the cloud, depending on your choice and compliance requirements.
If we opt for on-premise or cloud storage, how does Auctom access logs?
For on-premise or cloud storage solutions, Auctom will set up a secure, encrypted connection to access logs without interfering with your primary data. Our access is strictly read-only, ensuring that your original data remains unaltered and secure.
​Are logs encrypted during transmission to Auctom's SOC?
​Yes, all logs transmitted to our SOC, irrespective of their source, are encrypted using advanced encryption protocols to ensure data integrity and confidentiality.
Does Auctom actually view the content of our data or just the logs?
​We only access and analyze the logs, not the actual content of your data. Logs provide us with metadata and patterns of data access and operations without revealing the actual content. This way, we can detect threats and anomalies without compromising your data's confidentiality.
What happens to logs after they've been analyzed? Are they stored indefinitely?
​Logs are retained based on your organization's retention policy and any applicable regulations. Once the retention period lapses, logs are securely and irreversibly deleted. We work closely with our clients to ensure data handling aligns with their policies and preferences.
In case of a security incident, how is the data handling process communicated to us?
​Upon detecting a security incident, our immediate priority is to neutralize the threat. Following this, we maintain complete transparency by providing a detailed incident report, which includes specifics about the data accessed, the nature of the breach, and the steps taken in response.
