Hippocrates services are cloud-based and currently consist of two servers that handle the different parts of the services. On the one hand, we have a lively web server that handles everything that has to do with the web services. To this we have connected an isolated server where the database is located. Since we have separated the database from the web server, we minimize the risk of any intrusion into the services. Incidentally, the database is encrypted at the file level - which ensures that no unauthorized person could read the content if they came across the database. All communication to all our services takes place over HTTPS to ensure a secure connection to us. All traffic is routed through cloudflare.com and their firewalls to make it difficult for hackers to access our services. Once the traffic reaches our servers, we also have firewalls as extra protection against attacks on each server. The data center is located in Karlstad and is housed in premises that previously belonged to the Swedish Armed Forces. The armed forces still partly operate there, which means that the premises are monitored around the clock by security classified and armed personnel. The servers are protected with environmental monitoring, cooling and redundant power supply via UPS and diesel generators. All vital server components are built according to the N+1 principle to ensure that services are available around the clock. The servers are connected to one of Europe's largest and most powerful backbone networks. Through this connection, we can provide you as a customer with fast response times and high availability. The connection is via fiber with redundancy and geographical diversity (inputs from different geographical positions).
BACKUPER
Full backups of the web server and database server are taken daily. In addition, backups are also made during the day on the database server to restore a transaction log in case something goes wrong. Should a service go down, a new instance is rolled out within minutes. These backups take place locally in the network where the machines are located and we also take an encrypted database backup once a day that is sent out externally within Sweden.
