iLOQ smart locking solutions – keeping your properties and data secure

iLOQ’s ‘purpose’ is making life accessible. And we do that by innovating digital services and software solutions that provide smart locking and secure access to the buildings and spaces we use daily. Quality, reliability, accessibility, security, and privacy are our top priorities.

As a growth company, we are expanding internationally and the number of users and data we deal with daily is rapidly increasing. There are challenges with using traditional data center solutions. Therefore, a strong global cloud-based infrastructure is needed to ensure that our access management solutions are secure and resilient, that they are operational at all times, and are protected against a wide range of cyber threats (including data breaches, unauthorized access, and attacks which aim to temporarily or indefinitely disrupt services).

iLOQ’s cloud service provider is Amazon Web Services (AWS)

AWS ensures that its physical data centers, hardware, software, networking, and virtualization layers are secure and that there is ample room for scalability. They offer a comprehensive, multi-layered defense strategy that encompasses all aspects of the cloud infrastructure (such as web application firewalls, application load balancers, network address translation gateways and SQL failover clusters).

This industry-leading, hyperscale, cloud-computing platform is designed for high availability and is ideal for hosting critical systems. The fundamental advantage with AWS is its global infrastructure. Several geographically separated availability zones within each region support systems and services individually. If one availability zone fails, another can seamlessly take over. This greatly improves system availability and resiliency compared to platforms that rely on single data centers.

Meets the requirements of many public, private and government sectors

Another advantage with AWS is that it offers a growing number of built-in services designed to address different cloud computing topics. In a fast-changing world, this enables iLOQ to innovate and build new solutions that directly benefit AWS-based locking systems. Having data stored on the AWS database meets the requirements of many public, private and government sectors where data residency requirements are driven by legal and regulatory demands.

AWS’s robust and flexible security framework, such as advanced encryption and identity management, and advanced tools and practices, are subject to regular independent audits. This ensures ongoing compliance with the stringent demands of modern access management and global security standards (including ISO 27017 for cloud security, ISO 27701 for privacy information management, ISO/IEC 27001:2022 for Information security management, ISO 27018 for cloud privacy and NIS2).

Partnering with AWS allows us to focus on innovation while maintaining the trust of our customers.
