Security and data protection

Your information needs a reliable framework

In Sardona, you document information about your organisation, risks and security measures. Protecting this data is an essential part of operating the platform.

Here you will find an overview of the application and AI infrastructure, access rights and the use of AI.

Swiss application and AI infrastructure

Sardona’s application and portal servers are operated in Switzerland. Regional deployments in Switzerland are set up for the AI functions.

Burri Consulting is responsible for the development and operation of Sardona.

Access and separation of customer data

Personal accounts and defined permissions

Access to the platform is via personal user accounts. Roles and permissions determine which information and functions are available to a person.

Access by Burri Consulting employees is limited to the tasks they perform for operations and agreed support.

Separate customer areas

Sardona logically separates the data of different customers. The assignment to the respective customer area and the access permissions determine which data is accessible.

Traceable activities

An audit log records activities within the platform. This allows changes and processing steps to be traced.

Encryption

The SQL database is encrypted at rest. The application and portal servers are configured for HTTPS connections only and at least TLS 1.2.

Backups and ongoing operations

Automatic backups are set up for the SQL database. Maintenance and updates are part of operating the platform.

The specific scope of services and the requirements for retention and recovery are set out in the contract documents.

AI transparency

What Sardona uses AI for

AI supports selected tasks within the platform:

  • The ISMS Copilot answers questions based on your company’s knowledge base.
  • Risk suggestions support work on the risk register.
  • For crisis exercises, AI can prepare scenarios and take on selected roles.

What information is included

Depending on the function, the AI processes your input and the content from your customer area used for the task. This may include, for example, ISMS documents or information on assets and risks.

How processing takes place

For AI support, regional model deployments in Switzerland managed by Burri Consulting are set up. Which content is used depends on the function used and your request.

Who decides on results

AI results may be incomplete or incorrect. They serve as support for professional work.

The responsible people review suggestions and decide whether to adopt them. Approvals and decisions remain with your organisation.

Optional integrations

If you connect external systems to Sardona, the information required for the respective function is processed via this connection.

The scope depends on the integration set up and the permissions granted. The connected systems are also subject to the operating and data protection terms of their respective providers.

Retention, data return and deletion

The rules on retention, the return of your data and deletion at the end of the contract are set out in the contract.

This also takes into account the handling of backup copies and any existing retention obligations.

Documents and contacts

In addition to this overview, the data processing agreements and the technical and organisational measures are decisive for assessing Sardona.
