Mago is built on the most widely-trusted database platform on the planet. Security and reliability are our biggest concerns.
Under the hood, Mago runs on a cluster of database servers designed to be extremely fault tolerant. Should there ever be an issue involving a server failure, you'll never know since each server in the cluster is capable of taking over in the event of a problem. The workload will shift to the other servers, instantly, and without data loss.
We are also maniacal about backing up your data. With Mago, your data is continuously backed up. Our backup strategy is so complete, that we could restore the Mago database to any point-in-time for the past 30+ days. These backups are written to disk every five minutes and copied to locations all over the world.
This strategy is in place to make sure you ALWAYS have access to your critical business data. If a server crashes, Mago keeps running. If an entire datacenter were to go down (almost impossible given all the protections our cloud provider puts into place to make sure everything keeps running), Mago would still be running. If an entire country went off the internet, Mago would still be there.
With all these copies of the Mago database out there, is there a breach risk?
Mago keeps your data encrypted every step of the way. All of our services are configured to require SSL connection security for data in-motion across the network. We also use storage encryption for data at-rest and it is FIPS 140-2 compliant. Data, including backups, are encrypted on disk. The service uses AES (advanced encryption standard) 256-bit cipher, and the keys are system managed. Storage encryption is always on and cannot be disabled.
