Availability and resilience

• Guaranteed availability: As our platform is cloud based and hosted in AWS the Recorded Future platform provides an uptime of above 99.9%. We currently do not have planned downtime as calendar items, however where there is a major upgrade we always notify customers of the ongoing work, along with potential services impacted and for how long.
• Approach to resilience: AWS has identified critical system components required to maintain the availability of our system and recover service in the event of outage. Critical system components are backed up across multiple, isolated locations known as Availability Zones. Each Availability Zone is engineered to operate independently with high reliability. Availability Zones are connected to enable you to easily architect applications that automatically fail-over between Availability Zones without interruption. Highly resilient systems, and therefore service availability, is a function of the system design. Through the use of Availability Zones and data replication, AWS customers can achieve extremely short recovery time and recovery point objectives, as well as the highest levels of service availability.
• Outage reporting: Outages are reported via our public dashboard and via email to our customers.

Recorded Future supports most authentication apps that comply with the TOTP standard. Recorded Future’s 2FA has been validated to work with the following Authenticator applications.; • Google Authenticator; • Duo Mobile; • Microsoft Authenticator; • Authy; • Okta Verify; • Yubico Authenticator"
• Access restrictions in management interfaces and support channels: Access is restricted based on user role and license. Each user has a unique login ID (based on their e-mail) and this can be linked to the clients IDP by making use of our SSO integration. Support is portal based and as such is linked to the access and thus follows the same access principles.
• Access restriction testing frequency: At least once a year
• Management access authentication:
  • 2-factor authentication
  • Other
• Description of management access authentication: We utilize a least privileged access approach to all systems, applications, and data across our operations. We apply to access to tools and systems based on job role. This is enforced at account creation. We have different access and capabilities that are tied to the needs of the job role that the employee fulfills. For access to our product, We have role-based user access to production systems enforced by hardware token-based authentication. We also make aggressive use of the fine grained AWS access rights system where people only get the access they need.
