Summary

piqlConnect is a data lifecycle management system delivered as a Software-as-a-Service. A simple to use platform for data transfer and data access where security is a cornerstone of piqlConnect’s value proposition, and built on Microsoft Azure’s cloud infrastructure in Norway, the product inherits world-class security infrastructure while keeping data under European jurisdiction.

💡Each layer of the application is secured:

• encryption safeguards data at rest in databases, file shares, and blobs;
• TLS and network controls protect data in transit;
• Azure AD (Entra ID) and role-based access enforce authentication and authorisation; and comprehensive logging provides auditability.
• Azure Key Vault ensures that secret keys remain secret, Azure Database for MySQL and storage accounts ensure that archived data is safe from unauthorised access or breaches,
• and Azure’s Norwegian data centres ensure data residency for sovereignty and GDPR alignment.
• Integration with Stripe adds secure, compliant payment processing without exposing sensitive financial data to the application.

In a secure digital archiving platform like piqlConnect, protecting who can access what is just as critical as protecting the data itself. That’s why piqlConnect uses Auth0 as its identity platform, combined with optional Microsoft Entra ID (Azure Active Directory) integration, to ensure secure, flexible, and user-friendly access control for Clients.

By leveraging these technologies, piqlConnect offers its customers peace of mind that their digital records and files are handled with the highest security standards. The combination of Azure’s security features and compliance certifications with piqlConnect’s thoughtful architecture means that customers can focus on using the platform, confident that the data is private, protected, and compliant with European data protection laws. In a world where digital data sometimes must be preserved for decades and even centuries, piqlConnect’s secure Azure foundation ensures those files remain safe against both modern threats and evolving regulatory requirements – today and in the future.

Fully integrated with the most secure storage media out there, piqlFilm, Piql offer unprecedented data security for storage of critical files and information.
