How We Access and Store Data

For minware to access your data, you start by installing a marketplace application (available for GitHub and Jira) or providing minware with an access token (for other data sources).

minware then runs an ingest task that connects to vendor APIs, reads raw data, transforms it, and stores it in our Snowflake data warehouse.

Finally, you can access your data through reports in the minware web application.

Secure From Day One

minware was designed and built securely from day one. It is our obligation to protect our customers' sensitive data with the same level of care that they do and not expose them to additional risk.

We also understand that compliance frameworks like SOC 2 are only a starting point. We are committed to securing your data above and beyond what is required for compliance by:

• Using modern frameworks and languages like Typescript, React, and GraphQL that protect against many common vulnerabilities.
• Delegating authentication to auth0, which provides best-in-class authentication security.
• Walling off each customer's data in its own schema in our data warehouse (Snowflake). This makes it easy to perform authorization checks at the schema level and delete all data with a single query to ensure that your data remains private.
• Storing API secrets in encrypted vaults that cannot be accessed from the web application after they are initially written and can only be read by ingest tasks.
• Hashing source code during the ingest process so that we never store your source code in our systems.
• Following all the other standard security best practices, like locking down admin access to production and using least-privilege firewall rules that block network access to databases and API ingest tasks.
