To date there has been no known unauthorized access of any of the infrastructure.
• Information security policies and processes: Our policies predominantly follow a the guidelines set out in the Amazon Web Services (AWS) documentation for its Identity and Access Management (IAM) system. These include defining users with controlled and limited access to the infrastructure and not using the root account for routine access, requiring Multifactor Authentication (MFA) using a token device, and using AWS CloudTrail to log all access events for review. The policies are thought to be appropriate given the size of the development team (4 persons).
