Security and Data Protection

Single-tenant isolation

No co-tenancy with other customers. Your wiki runs on dedicated infrastructure, eliminating multi-tenant risks like cross-tenant data leaks, shared-resource vulnerabilities, and noisy-neighbor performance issues.

EU data residency

Servers run in ISO 27001-certified Hetzner data centers in Germany. Offsite backups are stored with Scaleway in France. These are the only two sub-processors. No US-based services in the data path unless you opt in to Cloudflare CDN/DDoS protection. Hosting in other regions, including the US and Singapore, is available on request for organizations with local data residency requirements.

Access controls

Server access is only possible via 2FA with a YubiKey from within our private network and is automatically logged. Only 3 engineers have access, and no automated system does. YubiKey 2FA is also required for our hosting provider accounts. Least-privilege access, quarterly reviews, revocation within one business day on offboarding.

Your wiki users get two-factor authentication (2FA/MFA) and role-based permissions to control who can read, edit, or administer content. Single Sign-On (SSO) is available as an add-on via OpenID Connect, supporting Microsoft / Azure AD, Google Workspace, Okta, Auth0, GitLab, Discord, and other identity providers.

Backups and disaster recovery

Two independent backup layers:

  • Daily server-level snapshots via Hetzner (7-day retention).
  • Daily encrypted offsite backups to Scaleway (AES-256 with dedicated key per wiki, 8 daily / 6 weekly / 6 monthly retention). Append-only storage: the backup server cannot delete its own backups.

Disaster recovery tested quarterly.

Encryption

All traffic is encrypted in transit (TLS 1.2/1.3, HSTS enforced). On request we also encrypt data at rest and in use: LUKS full-disk encryption (AES-256), and AMD SEV-SNP memory encryption that keeps your server's memory unreadable even to the host operator.

Monitoring and patching

24/7 monitoring with automated alerting. Infrastructure managed as code with peer-reviewed changes and CI checks before deployment. Security updates applied promptly.

Compliance and agreements

Standard hosting is governed by our Customer Agreement, Service Level Agreement, Acceptable Use Policy and Usage Limits. Data Processing Agreement (DPA) and Technical and Organizational Measures (TOMs) documentation available on request. Custom hosting agreements for organizations with specific contractual requirements. Our infrastructure supports compliance with GDPR, ISO 27001, and sector-specific frameworks.
