Does Workforce.com Encrypt Data in Transit?

Yes. All communications with Workforce.com are encrypted during transport, the supported protocols, options & ciphers are below. The protocol and cipher selected are the best possible the client's browser will support. Encryption terminates at the loadbalancer, however Workforce.com is currently undertaking a project to ensure there is end to end encryption in transit.

Protocols: Protocol-TLSv1.2

Options: Server Order Preference

Ciphers: ECDHE-ECDSA-AES128-GCM-SHA256, ECDHE-RSA-AES128-GCM-SHA256, ECDHE-ECDSA-AES128-SHA256, ECDHE-RSA-AES128-SHA256, ECDHE-ECDSA-AES128-SHA, ECDHE-RSA-AES128-SHA, ECDHE-ECDSA-AES256-GCM-SHA384, ECDHE-RSA-AES256-GCM-SHA384, ECDHE-ECDSA-AES256-SHA384, ECDHE-RSA-AES256-SHA384, ECDHE-RSA-AES256-SHA, ECDHE-ECDSA-AES256-SHA, AES128-GCM-SHA256, AES128-SHA256, AES128-SHA, AES256-GCM-SHA384, AES256-SHA256, AES256-SHA

Does Workforce.com back up data?

Yes. Workforce.com creates an encrypted backup every night to protect against data loss, to maintain a strong Disaster Resilience posture we take a backup of all data once every 24 hours. We classify these backups as Cold data, and they are retained for 7 days only.

Workforce.com is also able to restore in a granular 5 minute incremental format referred to as the point-in-time backups. We retain 35 days of point-in-time backups meaning we can guarantee in the face of system wide data corruption we can revert to a period 5 minutes prior to the corruption event.

Workforce.com has an RPO of up to 24 hours in case of a major incident (such as the database being deleted), and up to 5 minutes in the event of a minor incident (such as data corruption)

What is Workforce.com's Recovery Time Objective (RTO)?

Workforce.com has an RTO of 8 hours.
