Never before has the concept of Cybersecurity been more critical than today.
A data breach can have a devastating effect on an organization’s reputation and finances.
Despite your own in-house security measures, it can be pretty sobering to think of who exactly can access your diagrams and confidential work when using external tools.
It could be an unscrupulous competitor, but increasingly, its lone actors probing for vulnerabilities and data to steal, they then actively seek markets to sell your data. So forget the image of the lone hacker sitting in a dark bedroom; cybercrime is big business.
And in terms of policing, it’s pretty much the Wild West out there. Information has value and can be sold, so it’s not surprising when our customers ask, “how safe is my information using draw.io?”
draw.io is exceptionally safe
The reason for this is how draw.io functions.
The application never sees your data. So we don’t know what you are doing with draw.io, nor do we care.
You have complete control as to who can access your data.
Data isolation
Perhaps a better analogy would be that of buying a cordless drill from a DIY store.
The store has no idea what you want to use this tool for. It could be some home improvements in your apartment, perhaps a new kitchen, or some work in your bathroom.
The DIY store has no means of knowing, nor do they care.
Not all diagramming apps are the same
Data security is our thing. None of our competitors can offer the level of security we offer. Not only do we fully comply with Atlassian’s security standards, we exceed them by quite a margin, offering levels of security no one else can even approach.
We offer options on:
- Data Residency – you decide geographically where your data resides.
- Defined Endpoints – you specify the draw.io server endpoints.
- Data transmission Lockdown – you can restrict data transmission to only occur between your browser and your Confluence Cloud instance.
- We participate in Atlassian’s Bug Bounty program.
- draw.io is verified by the Atlassian Cloud fortified program (a very select group.)
draw.io & GDPR
So as well as customizable internal data security controls inside of Confluence draw.io also offers another huge advantage in the world of data security, its complaint with GDPR in Europe.
Currently, GDPR is the gold standard worldwide for data protection, and we fully comply with these regulations.
