Data Storage

The systems and methods used to persistently retain digital records and datasets.

Infrastructure Layer

The underlying technical environment supporting applications, data, and integrations.

Permissioning

The assignment of rights and roles governing user access and actions.

Redundancy

The duplication of systems or data to prevent loss or downtime.

Security Controls

Safeguards used to protect data from unauthorized access or breaches.

System Uptime

The measure of how consistently systems remain operational and accessible.
