IT Infrastructure

System Design & Architecture

Horus’s architecture is designed to be reliable and secure. We have adopted n-tire architecture with firewall in-between tiers to provide layer of protection.

Corporate network

HR Plus runs a zero-trust corporate network to ensure no other resources are granted additional privileges from being on our corporate network. 

Our Data Center Provider

Horus is hosted and managed within Amazon Web Services (AWS) secure data centers. These data centers have been operated under:

  • ISO 27001
  • SOC 1 and SOC 2/SSAE 16/ISAE 3402 (Previously SAS 70 - Type II)
  • PCI Level 1
  • FISMA Moderate
  • Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX)

In addition, we are widely adopted services provided by AWS to increase network control in our entire system. You may visit  more details at AWS Whitepapers & Guides.

Our Data Storage Procedure

Horus’s Services are only accessible upon pre-defined authorization and access keys are rotated in a timely manner and stored individually from our code and data. 

We have also sandboxed production environments from testing environments to run security check without affecting the surrounding applications or operating system.

Data Backups

We perform encrypted and secure backups of important data once per year.

Cybersecurity Measures

Data Encryption

We adopt industry standard encryption algorithms with a minimum strength of AES-256 to fully encrypted all critical data (backups, archives and logs). 

HTTPS & Firewall

HR Plus web resources, including our REST API, web app, and public website are all served with HTTPS. In addition, we disable weak cipher suites and only support TLS 1.2+ 

Servers are well-protected by firewalls where not directly exposed to the internet. 

Log Aggregation and Monitoring

We perform log aggregation and monitoring to identify anomalous or suspicious events. In addition, all sensitive data (e.g. passwords, personal identifier, API Keys and etc.) are filtered from our logs and log data is fully expunged at set amount of period.
