Data security at TomorrowThings is ensured through a multi-layered approach that integrates robust technical, organizational, and legal measures, with a strong emphasis on compliance with industry standards and data protection regulations.

Our comprehensive security framework includes:

• Compliance with Data Protection Regulations: We are fully committed to adhering to stringent data protection regulations, most notably the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). This governs how we collect, process, and store personal data, ensuring your rights and privacy are protected.
• Secure Data Hosting: Your data is stored in highly secure, certified external data centers. These facilities are selected based on their adherence to international security standards (e.g., ISO 27001, if applicable, otherwise state general certifications) and robust physical and environmental controls. Our data centers are located within regions that support strict data residency requirements.
• Encrypted Data Transmission: All data exchanged between the Hilscher Compact Edge Gateways, the Things Cloud, and your user interfaces is protected using industry-standard encryption protocols, such as Transport Layer Security (TLS 1.2/1.3), to prevent unauthorized access during transit.
• Robust Access Controls: We implement strict authentication and authorization mechanisms, including multi-factor authentication where appropriate, to ensure that only authorized personnel and systems can access data, with access rights based on the principle of least privilege.
• Continuous Monitoring and Auditing: Our systems are continuously monitored for suspicious activities, security vulnerabilities, and performance anomalies. Regular security audits, penetration tests, and vulnerability assessments are conducted by independent third parties to identify and mitigate potential risks proactively.
• Secure Software Development Lifecycle (SSDLC): Security is integrated into every phase of our software development process, from design to deployment, through secure coding practices and peer reviews.
• Organizational Measures: Our internal policies and procedures mandate strict data handling protocols, employee training on data protection, and incident response plans to address any security events swiftly and effectively.

By combining these comprehensive measures and upholding strong compliance standards, we ensure that your operational data within Things OS is continuously protected against unauthorized access, loss, or manipulation.
