What does ‘store in the cloud’ mean?
‘Store in the cloud’ is a service model in which data is transmitted and stored on remote servers, rather than being stored on a local drive or server. Data stored in the cloud is maintained, managed and backed up centrally. You can compare this to the money in a bank account. You can choose to keep it at home underneath your mattress or store it safely in your bank account. Priva guarantees that your cultivation data is stored securely and gives you access at all times. You retain full ownership of the data stored in the Priva Cloud via the Priva Gateway.
How safe is the cloud?
Developing secure cloud services is a challenging activity that requires a secure and stable cloud platform. That’s why our apps are built upon Microsoft’s Azure cloud platform. We chose Azure because of the extensive security measures that Microsoft has taken and the standard components that they provide.
By leaving the data center and (physical) infrastructure security to the experts at Microsoft, Priva can focus on developing secure, high-value cloud services built on the Microsoft Azure platform. During the development and operation of cloud services, we adhere to secure design principles and best practices (e.g. least privilege and defense in depth). Our cloud and security architects work closely together with the development teams to ensure all cloud services are secure by design.
