Our Approach to Security & Continuity

At Swiftlier, our approach to information security and business continuity is rooted in the belief that trust is earned through transparency, preparedness, and continuous improvement. We understand that our platform plays a vital role in your day-to-day operations, which is why we’ve designed it to be resilient by default. From the ground up, we’ve embedded security into every layer of our infrastructure and development process—leveraging cloud-native technologies, secure coding practices, and real-time monitoring to ensure stability and protection. But we don’t stop at prevention. We actively plan for the unexpected, with tested continuity strategies, offline access to critical data, and a dedicated incident response team ready to act. Our goal is simple: to give you confidence that Swiftlier will be there when you need it most—secure, reliable, and ready to support your success.

How we Protect your Data

Platform Resilience
Swiftlier is built on a foundation of cloud-native resilience, designed to keep your services running even in the face of major disruptions. We use Microsoft Azure’s geo-redundant infrastructure to replicate critical services—such as web hosting, databases, and file storage—across multiple regions. This means that if one region experiences an outage, traffic is automatically rerouted to a healthy standby environment with minimal or no data loss. Our platform is monitored continuously, with automated alerts and health checks that allow us to detect and respond to issues before they impact users. We also use deployment strategies like slot swapping and rollback to ensure that updates are seamless and reversible. Whether it’s a software issue, a cloud service disruption, or a physical event, our platform is engineered to stay online and responsive.

Security

Security is embedded into every layer of the Swiftlier platform. We enforce strong authentication protocols, including multi-factor authentication and role-based access control, to ensure that only authorized users can access sensitive data. Our development process follows a secure software development lifecycle (SDLC), incorporating threat modeling, code reviews, and static analysis to identify and mitigate vulnerabilities early. All data is encrypted in transit and at rest, and our infrastructure is protected by Azure Front Door, which provides DDoS protection, SSL certificate management, and a managed web application firewall. We also monitor for anomalies and errors in real time using tools like RayGun, giving us visibility into potential issues and helping us respond quickly. Our security posture is continuously reviewed and improved to stay ahead of evolving threats.

Business Continuity

We don’t just plan for uptime—we plan for the unexpected. Swiftlier’s business continuity strategy is designed to ensure that your operations can continue even in the face of serious disruptions. We maintain offline “emergency kits” that include synchronized session schedules, contact details, and room allocations, stored outside of our core infrastructure for access during outages. Our incident response team is always on call, ready to coordinate recovery efforts and communicate clearly with customers. We regularly test our continuity plans through tabletop exercises, simulated incidents, and independent audits to ensure they’re effective and up to date. In the event of an incident, we conduct a full root cause analysis and update our policies accordingly. Our goal is to minimize disruption, support your recovery, and continuously strengthen our resilience.

Proactive Risk Management

At Swiftlier, we don’t wait for problems to happen—we anticipate them. Our approach to risk management is proactive, structured, and deeply integrated into how we build and operate our platform. We continuously assess a wide range of potential threats, from cloud service disruptions and software defects to cyberattacks and third-party failures. Each identified risk is mapped to specific technical and procedural controls, ensuring that we have clear strategies for prevention, detection, and mitigation.

But identifying risks is only the beginning. We rigorously test our resilience and continuity plans to ensure they work when it matters most. Our verification process includes regular tabletop exercises, where our teams simulate incident scenarios and walk through response strategies. We also conduct simulated incidents in non-production environments to validate our recovery procedures in real-world conditions. To ensure objectivity and accountability, we invite independent auditors to challenge our assumptions and evaluate the effectiveness of our controls.

This cycle of risk analysis, testing, and refinement is ongoing. We review our plans annually—or sooner if there’s a significant change in our platform, operating environment, or threat landscape. The insights we gain from testing feed directly into our policies and platform improvements, helping us stay ahead of emerging risks and giving you confidence that Swiftlier is always prepared.

Clear Communication During Incidents

Clear, timely communication is one of the most critical components of effective business continuity—and at Swiftlier, it’s a cornerstone of how we operate. We understand that during a disruption, uncertainty can be just as damaging as downtime. That’s why we’ve developed a structured communication strategy designed to keep our customers informed, supported, and confident at every stage of an incident.

Our communication plan begins long before any issue arises. We work with each customer to establish and maintain a list of key contacts—both those responsible for service oversight and those involved in day-to-day operations. This ensures that when something happens, we know exactly who to reach and how to reach them.

In the event of a continuity incident, our designated incident commander takes charge of communication. This role is typically filled by a member of our executive or lead engineering team, ensuring that updates are accurate, authoritative, and aligned with our recovery efforts. Customers receive initial notifications promptly, followed by regular updates as the situation evolves. We use multiple channels—email, phone, and direct messaging—depending on the nature and urgency of the event.

Communication doesn’t end when the incident does. After recovery, we conduct a full root cause analysis and share relevant findings with affected customers. We also outline any changes we’re making to prevent future occurrences and invite feedback on how our communication and support performed during the event. This collaborative approach helps us continuously improve and ensures that our customers feel heard and supported.

Ultimately, our goal is to make sure that even in moments of disruption, our customers remain informed, empowered, and connected. Because resilience isn’t just about technology—it’s about trust.
