Software Development Life Cycle
At Boards on Fire, we leverage the DevOps and Continuous Delivery models. The highly automated nature of our software and infrastructure delivery, combined with frequent releases, requires security to be embedded into the SDLC is essential.
Here are a few controls included in our process:
How is the Boards on Fire application available?
Boards on Fire is available as a Software as a Service (SaaS) delivery model, providing you with access to the most up-to-date and advanced application with no requirement for maintenance and upgrades. Boards on Fire uses many of the security benefits from Microsoft Azure, as for example Azure Front Door with Azure Web Application Firewall (WAF).
Azure Web Application Firewall takes all knowledge within Microsoft and protects Boards on Fire from common web-based attacks like SQL injection, cross-site scripting attacks, and session hijacking. It comes preconfigured with protection from threats identified by the Open Web Application Security Project (OWASP) as the top 10 common vulnerabilities.
Authentication
Authentication to Boards on Fire is handled through Microsoft Azure B2C. Passwords are stored in Microsoft Azure B2C and not visible to anyone at Boards on Fire. If the password is forgotten, the only way is to reset it.
Boards on Fire lets you implement Single Sign On (SSO) through OpenID Connect (OIDC) with your Microsoft Entra ID.
Physical Security
Boards on Fire uses an industry leading cloud platform (Microsoft Azure) to host production environments. Microsoft understands the importance of protecting your data and is committed to helping secure the datacenters that contain your data. Microsoft has an entire division devoted to designing, building, and operating the physical facilities supporting Azure.
The Boards on Fire office is only accessible with the use of a key. Keys are only given to authorized employees. Visitors always require escort throughout the office. Our workstations use full disk encryption and are always locked when not in use.
Data is stored in Microsoft Azure Database for PostgreSQL – Flexible Server. It's a fully managed database-as-a-service that can handle mission-critical workloads with predictable performance, security, high availability, and dynamic scalability. Microsoft Azure Database also takes care of automatic (daily) backups and encryption of data.
Segregation of data
Boards on Fire is multi-tenant with logical and strict separation between all customers. Customers are segregated with unique subdomains and all customer data is segregated at the application level using unique IDs.
If you have a requirement that says your data should be stored in its own database, that is also possible.
Authorization
Boards on Fire gives you the ability to limit access to your data and configuration by defining custom access groups that you assign to your users. Access can be limited per user, or per organization, within Boards on Fire.
File storage
Files are stored and managed in Microsoft Azure Storage. Azure Storage offers highly available, massively scalable, durable, and secure storage. Each customer has its own segregated area for their files.
Data in transit
All data in transit is encrypted with Secure Sockets Layer and Transport Layer Security (SSL/TLS) with a minimum requirement of TLS 1.2.
Data in rest
Data in rest in database is encrypted using FIPS 140-2 validated cryptographic module. Data is encrypted on disk, including backups and the temporary files created while queries are running.
Data in rest in file storage is encrypted and decrypted transparently using 256-bit AES encryption. Microsoft is responsible for encryption key storage, key control, and key rotation.
