inSync Cloud FAQ 6
What physical mechanisms are employed to protect inSync Cloud
infrastructure resources and data assets?
Redundancy - AWS data centers are designed to anticipate and tolerate failure while maintaining service levels and
are built in clusters in various global regions. inSync Cloud provides multi-zone replication of various elements of
customer data including configuration, metadata and the actual data, thereby ensuring that customer data is available
in multiple availability zones to handle failure of any zone.Fire Detection and Suppression – AWS reduces risk with
automatic fire detection and suppression equipment. The fire detection system utilizes smoke detection sensors in
all data center environments, mechanical and electrical infrastructure spaces, chiller rooms and generator equipment
rooms. These areas are protected by either wet-pipe, double-interlocked pre-action or gaseous sprinkler systems.
Power - The data center electrical power systems are designed to be fully redundant and maintainable without impact
to operations, 24 hours a day, and seven days a week. Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) units provide back-up power
in the unlikely event of an electrical failure for critical and essential loads in the facility. Data centers are equipped with
generators to provide back-up power to the entire facility.
Climate and Temperature - Climate control is required to maintain a constant operating temperature for servers
and other hardware, which prevents overheating and reduces the possibility of service outages. Data centers are
conditioned to maintain atmospheric conditions at optimal levels. Personnel and systems control temperature and
humidity at appropriate levels.
Management - AWS monitors electrical, mechanical and life support systems and equipment so that any issues are
immediately identified. Preventative maintenance is performed to maintain the continued operability of equipment.
Availability and Durability
What SLA’s does inSync Cloud offer for service availability and data durability?
inSync Cloud will be available 24 hours per day, 7 days per week, excluding any scheduled (pre-determined window
in a week) or unscheduled (with an email notification to the customer a few hours before the event) maintenance.
inSync Cloud guarantees a 99.95% uptime SLA.
inSync’s high availability is achieved by multi-zone replication of configuration data, metadata and data to multiple
availability zones within each region.
Regarding data durability, inSync Cloud leverages Amazon S3’s storage, which is backed by the Amazon S3 Service
Level Agreement and is designed to provide 99.999999999% durability over any given year. The infrastructure is
designed to sustain the concurrent loss of data in two facilities.
Describe inSync Cloud’s business continuity plan
inSync Cloud service is designed for “continuous availability.” AWS has designed its systems to tolerate systems or
hardware failures without customer impact.
Availability - AWS data centers are designed to anticipate and tolerate failure while maintaining service levels. Data

inSync Cloud FAQ 7
centers are built in clusters in various global regions. In case of failure, automated processes move customer data
traffic away from the affected area. Core applications are deployed in an N+1 configuration.
inSync Cloud is architected to take advantage of AWS regions and availability zones. Distributing inSync Cloud
instances across multiple regions and availability zones provides the ability to remain resilient in the face of most
failure modes including natural disasters or system failures. In addition, data in all tiers of inSync Cloud (configuration,
metadata and data) are replicated synchronously across their availability zones.
Business Continuity Plan - The AWS Business Continuity Plan (BCP) drives standard practices to support ongoing,
worldwide business and the ability to scale to the increased scope of catastrophic events. Standard practices are
supplemented with dedicated preparation for significant disruptions. AWS maintains current response plans for a
series of disaster scenarios, and the response is tested in production by simulating disasters.
Testing - Druva tests critical systems under simulated conditions of catastrophic failure at least once annually and
uses routine maintenance intervals and external events as testing opportunities.
Certification
What external certifications exist for inSync Cloud operations?
Druva has completed an ISAE 3000 Type II certification by KPMG. The ISAE audit covers the following elements –
ƒƒ Description of Druva’s system related to general operating environment supporting inSync Cloud Operations
ƒƒ Design of controls related to the control objectives stated in the description
Druva has achieved TRUSTe EU Safe Harbor certification facilitating compliance with the European Union’s Data
Protection Directive and has passed a review by KPMG validating the company’s security and privacy controls for
handling HIPAA-compliant protected health information (PHI).
Data Security
How are users identified and authenticated for access to the service?
Backup and restore requests from the client are authenticated with a key that is generated on installation of the client.
Browser requests to access data over the web for viewing or for restores require users to login and authenticate with
their password. inSync supports integration with Active Directory for password authentication and integrates with 3rd
party identity providers for single sign-on services using SAML.
Can password policies be specified and enforced?
System password policies can be implemented for web restore passwords. In addition, Active Directory passwords,
which can adhere to specific password policies, can be used.

inSync Cloud FAQ 8
Is data encrypted in transit and at rest?
Yes, inSync Cloud encrypts data at rest using 256-bit AES encryption (NIST standard). Data is encrypted in transit
using 256-bit SSL encryption. For more information look at www.druva.com/insync/enterprise-security
Is access to cloud encrypted?
Yes all protocols associated with Druva cloud are encrypted. This includes the HTTPS based web-console access and
LDAPS support for Active directory integration.
Are data restores authenticated and encrypted?
Yes, data restores are always authenticated and encrypted. Restores using the inSync client installed on a user’s device
are encrypted using SSL. Web restores use secure HTTPS connections.
How are encryption keys managed?
Unlike competitive solutions that deploy a single encryption key across all customers and keep the key on the cloud
,inSync uses two-factor encryption key management.
ƒƒ A unique encryption key is generated per customer and is further encrypted using admin credentials. Only this
encrypted token is stored in the server.
ƒƒ Encryption key is derived from the token during a customer session using customer’s unique credentials.
ƒƒ Because of secure 2-factor encryption, no one, including Druva, can access customer data.
What is the process for administrator’s password recovery?
Druva strongly recommends that an administrator create a secondary administrator account, as this results in the
creation of a new password, and consequently a new token. In the potential scenario where an admin forgets his or her
password, only a secondary admin can reset that password. Druva implements stringent password policies for inSync
Cloud and is unable to reset admin passwords for any customer.
Is there a security policies document for Druva employees and contractors for
handling cloud data?
Yes, Druva has documented and enforced security policies for inSync Cloud. A security handbook is also incorporated
for developers working on the cloud.
A copy of Druva’s security policies document is available to customers on request.
How does inSync Cloud provide protection against traditional network
security issues?
The AWS network provides significant protection against traditional network security issues. The following are
a few examples:

inSync Cloud FAQ 9
Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) Attacks - AWS API endpoints are hosted on large, Internet-scale, world-class
infrastructure that has enabled Amazon to be the world’s largest online retailer. Additionally, AWS’s networks are multi-
homed across a number of providers to achieve Internet access diversity.
Man In The Middle (MITM) Attacks - All of the AWS APIs are available via SSL-protected endpoints, which provide
server authentication. Amazon EC2 AMIs automatically generates new SSH host certificates on first boot.
IP Spoofing - Amazon EC2 instances cannot send spoofed network traffic. The AWS-controlled, host-based firewall
infrastructure will not permit an instance to send traffic with a source IP or MAC address other than its own.
Port Scanning - Unauthorized port scans by Amazon EC2 customers are a violation of the AWS Acceptable Use Policy.
Packet sniffing by other tenants - It is not possible for a virtual instance running in promiscuous mode to receive or
“sniff” traffic that is intended for a different virtual instance.
