Security Overview

SyncNow provides robust security features to protect your data and ensure only authorized users can access sensitive information. This overview highlights the key components of SyncNow's security model, including user and group management, authentication providers, privilege management, and additional security measures.

👥 User and Group Management

SyncNow uses a comprehensive user and group management system to control access and permissions:

  • Internal Users & Groups: Defined within the application for precise access control.
  • Role-Based Access Control (RBAC): Privileges are assigned to groups, restricting access to specific areas and actions based on user roles and responsibilities.
  • Scalable & Maintainable: Group-based privilege management simplifies onboarding and access adjustments as roles change.

🔑 Authentication Providers

SyncNow integrates with multiple authentication providers to enhance security and streamline user access:

  • LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol): Seamless integration with existing directory services for centralized user management and enforcement of organizational security policies.
  • Active Directory (AD): Allows users to authenticate with Windows domain credentials, leveraging AD security features such as password policies and account lockout.
  • Entra ID (Azure Active Directory): Secure authentication for cloud and hybrid environments, supporting advanced features like multi-factor authentication (MFA), conditional access, and single sign-on (SSO).

🛡️ Privilege Management

  • Group-Based Privileges: Permissions are managed at the group level, not per user, ensuring scalability and easier administration.
  • Granular Control: Define permissions for data access, administrative functions, and configuration settings.

🧰 Additional Security Measures

SyncNow employs several additional security practices to further protect your environment:

  • Encryption: All sensitive data is encrypted at rest and in transit using industry-standard algorithms.
  • Audit Logs: Detailed logs of all user activities provide visibility for monitoring, compliance, and forensic analysis.
  • Session Management: Secure session handling prevents hijacking and ensures proper authentication and authorization throughout user sessions.

📋 Compliance and Standards

SyncNow is designed to meet industry standards and regulatory requirements:

  • Regular Security Assessments: Ongoing audits and assessments help identify and mitigate vulnerabilities.
  • Privacy & Compliance: SyncNow aligns with best practices for data privacy and security.

By combining strong authentication, granular privilege management, and comprehensive auditing, SyncNow ensures your organization's data remains secure and compliant.
