Q. Access management and the privacy of sensitive information is a major consideration around cloud and hosted services. How can we overcome this issue?

Establishing trust with our users is critical, so at SmartShyp we believe in being transparent about our policies, disciplined in our implementation of these policies, and in being consistent. Access management and data privacy are mission-critical issues, and solutions have been built into our early strategic processes. Access management doesn’t have to be complex, it just has to be done. We’re well-versed in the available resources and we know how to leverage them. Data privacy is a constant challenge. It requires an ever-changing definition of what data may or may not be considered sensitive, as well as understanding user expectations.

Tell us in brief about your data management system and compliance.

Our company uses a wide array of the latest cloud technologies and services. We use services like AWS, “IAM” to provide the basis for our data access management. We keep a tight rein on access and perform routine maintenance like rotating keys and passwords. We prioritize and frequently discuss data management, how we can continue to improve, and where we might have holes and blind spots.

Q. The eCommerce industry is one of the most challenging to transform, because of the huge number of legacy systems, combined with the amount of highly sensitive, personalized information. How do your solutions address this concern?

We made a strategic decision early on to build our platform on the latest cloud technologies. This has allowed us to not only be agile but to continue to push the boundaries on newer cloud technologies. We’ve been able to do this all while building a secure data platform. Cloud technology and serverless technology are not synonymous with being insecure or vulnerable. Systems can be secure and data can be private all while leveraging the cloud to distribute new and engaging solutions.
