- 14. © Techcello www.techcello.com SaaS Customer Concerns Data Storage and Segregation • Is it a dedicated or a shared environment? • If it a shared environment, how is the data segregated from other shared environments? • How is security managed in the shared environment? What controls are in place? ACL • What type of identity management solution is provided? • Is Single Sign-On (SSO) provided? What types of SSO options are available? SAML, Open Auth etc? • What type of user store is available? Can this user store be integrated with Active Directory or any other user store database? • What type of user security, authentication and authorization options are available?
- 15. © Techcello www.techcello.com SaaS Customer Concerns Data Security • How is the primary data encrypted? What encryption schemes are used? Who has access to the decryption keys? How often is this tested? Audits • What application & data access audit logs are available? How often can you get this? • What type of investigative support is provided in cases of breach?

- 25. © Techcello www.techcello.com Security Audit Event Audit • Audit positive events, more importantly audit negative events • Should cover, • Who does the action? • What action is performed? • What is the context in which the operation is performed? • What time is the action performed? • Audit details stored in a separate datastore for better performance • Real-time audit details – audit cache server
- 26. © Techcello www.techcello.com Security Audit Transaction and Change Audit • Transaction Audit • Snapshot: Exact copy of the row stored in history tables • More suitable if requests to access past data are more • More data growth • Change Audit • Only the delta of the state change captured as part of change tables • More suitable when changes need to be reported and past data are not required much • Used more for Security tracking purposes • Easier to implement by using methods available out of the box in RDBMS such as CDC for SQL server • Asynchronous Mode : For better performance and if we wish that audit should not roll back the transactions it is advisable to audit in a asynchronous thread.
- 27. © Techcello www.techcello.com Security Audit User Action Audit • Audit all user actions • Capture the entry url, time, location details, browser details, response status, any exceptions • Provide analysis on the user actions • Can be customized at application layer or can use the webserver logs
