The set-up

State of the art data centre

For cloud customers, we use state of the art data centres to house our applications and servers. So, your chat data is protected by the most robust physical and network security humanly and technically achievable.

  • All EU customer data is stored in UK-based Microsoft Azure data centres
  • For US and non-EU customers, data is stored in US-based Microsoft Azure data centres
  • Your chat data sits within a centre that is monitored 24/7
  • Security measures include onsite guards, surveillance cameras, fire detection and biometric authentication
  • Dedicated server options available for enterprise customers

On-premises installation

For companies who need more control over chat hosting, we also offer an on-premises deployment option. The product and its features remain the same, but the application and all the data it generates stay in-house.

  • Self-contain chat on your own private servers
  • Get your own branded chat URL, e.g. ‘livechat.yourcompanyname.com’
  • Your own SSL certificate, so the certificate registered to your chat URL shows your own company details
  • Immediate access to data from your own secure MS SQL database
  • Perpetual licence option available to own your edition of the solution outright

The safeguarding

Penetration testing

We use third-party specialists to run annual penetration tests against WhosOn.

Every employee on the team is reference and background-checked, then trained on security.
