What we store
We only store data required for CMP functionality.
- Cloud Billing exports- required for core Billing functionality; stored in BigQuery
- User information — required for core CPM functionality; stored in Firestore
- Assets created via using CMP (Invoices, Billing Profiles, etc.) — required for core CMP functionality; stored in Firestore
- Contracts — required for core CMP functionality; stored in Google Cloud Storage
- Service Account Keys — required for core CPM functionality; stored in Firestore and encrypted with KMS
How we handle and store your data
All data we handle are encrypted in transit using industry-standard protocols like HTTPS (TLS).
All data we store are encrypted at rest:
- Google BigQuery — using Google-managed encryption keys and Advanced Encryption Standard (AES)
- Google Firestore — using Google-managed encryption keys and AES
- Google Cloud Storage — using Google-managed encryption keys and AES
- Service Account Keys — encrypted using Google Cloud KMS and stored in Google Secret Manager
Who can access your data?
DoiT International employees in customer-facing roles, such as Account managers and Support engineers, can access your data using the CMP platform. Only a small team of core CMP developers is able to access your data directly in the underlying storage.
Service Account keys are only used by backend systems to retrieve relevant data from GCP. Only a small team of core CMP developers has access to the KMS keys used for encryption and would be able to decrypt the keys.
3rd parties
We do not provide your data to any 3rd party, with the exceptions listed below required for core CMP functionality.
- CMP Support — We use Zendesk as a backend for support ticketing functionality. All ticket-related data are stored in Zendesk and retrieved using Zendesk APIs [1].
- Payments — We use Stripe for payments. All payment-related data (such as Credit card or bank account details) are stored in the Stripe platform and used via Stripe APIs [2].
Compliance
EU and GDPR Compliance — we have many customers in the European Economic Area and we handle your data in compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) [3].
Our products regularly undergo independent verification of security, privacy, and compliance controls, achieving certifications against global standards to earn your trust. We're constantly working to expand our coverage.
The SOC 2 and SOC 3 is a report based on the Auditing Standards Board of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants' (AICPA) existing Trust Services Criteria (TSC). The purpose of this report is to evaluate an organization's information systems relevant to security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, and privacy.
ISO/IEC 27001 outlines and provides the requirements for an information security management system (ISMS), specifies a set of best practices, and details the security controls that can help manage information risks.
Cloud Management Platform ISO/IEC 27001 and SOC 2/3 certificates may be requested via a opening a ticket at support.doit-intl.com. Potential customers can reach out to sales for more information.
