# 8.2 Security and Compliance

Security and compliance are paramount when deploying the Orbit platform in enterprise environments. Whether utilizing our SaaS version or opting for a custom deployment, Orbit is committed to maintaining the highest security standards to protect your data and ensure compliance with industry regulations.

### 1. **Security and Compliance in the SaaS Version**

The SaaS version of the Orbit platform is currently deployed on **Amazon Web Services (AWS)**, which provides industry-leading security features. We are also preparing to offer an **Azure-native version** that will adhere to Microsoft Azure’s robust security and compliance standards.

#### **AWS Security and Compliance**:

* **Data Encryption**: All data is encrypted at rest and in transit using advanced encryption standards.
* **Identity and Access Management (IAM)**: We utilize AWS’s IAM to control and monitor access to resources, ensuring that only authorized users have access to sensitive data.
* **Network Security**: AWS’s secure network architecture, including firewalls and DDoS protection, helps protect the platform from external threats.
* **Compliance with AWS Standards**: The SaaS version adheres to AWS’s comprehensive compliance framework, which includes certifications such as SOC 1/2/3, GDPR, and HIPAA.

#### **Azure Security and Compliance**:

* **Upcoming Azure-Native Version**: As we expand our deployment options, the Azure-native version of Orbit will follow Microsoft Azure’s security protocols. Azure provides similar high standards for data protection, including encryption, IAM, and network security, ensuring robust protection for your data.

### 2. **Following Industry Best Practices**

We are committed to following industry best practices to safeguard our platform and your data. Our security measures are aligned with the strictest standards commonly found in the industry.
