As per the JumpCloud Support Description: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ESLQMbI9P2lkPnvuEbjtxxAyzmud4RbyarprwEaOBg4
JumpCloud will provide a 99.9% Uptime for the Service in each calendar month during the applicable Order Term. Uptime will be measured on a cumulative basis across the total number of services made available by JumpCloud in such calendar month.
In the event that Uptime falls below 99.9% during any one Calendar Month, then JumpCloud shall, upon Customer’s written request promptly either credit or refund Customer, at Customer’s option, an amount equal to the following percentages:
<99.9% = 10%
<99% = 25%
<95% = 50% - Approach to resilience
-
JumpCloud’s infrastructure leverages multiple cloud service providers, spread across several availability zones and geographic regions. Data is stored across several availability zones, as well. This architecture is focused on preventing a failure at the cloud service provider level or within any one region or zone.
Our agent-based, native authentication platform for Windows®, Linux®, and Mac® OS X would not be impacted by a widespread outage of the JumpCloud platform. Users would continue to access their devices as they normally would.
JumpCloud has built a global network of ‘edge’ nodes that operate autonomously from the JumpCloud central infrastructure.
If for any reason the central JumpCloud infrastructure were to experience an outage, these systems would continue to operate autonomously. Our customers’ systems and applications can continue authenticating against these edge servers via LDAP and RADIUS as normal. The ability to make changes to data would be interrupted while the management infrastructure was being recovered, but existing data would continue to be available at these edge servers. - Outage reporting

SOC2 Type II - Information security policies and processes
-
JumpCloud’s environments are scanned for vulnerabilities monthly by a reputable third-party assessor. We also have external penetration tests performed at a minimum of 3 times per year by multiple third-party firms. The results of these scans and tests are integrated into our development workflow to be addressed based on priority.
JumpCloud has completed a SOC 2 Type 2 examination for our Directory-as-a-Service. You can request to view the results of this examination by emailing accounts@jumpcloud.com.
JumpCloud uses monitoring software to track user logins, privileged commands, and to track anomalies. Our servers remain fully patched through the use of configuration management tools. We also use a customized Intrusion Detection System to monitor and report anomalous behavior and to report on changes to critical configuration files and installed software.

Should JumpCloud suspect a data breach, the company and its technical personnel follow a specific incident response plan and policy. This plan will include an investigation to determine what the potential consequences are. JumpCloud will notify all data subjects within 72 hours of becoming aware of a breach. - Incident management type
