Broadband PTT application uses the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES)-256 to encrypt locally stored data, including authentication credentials, configuration and settings. Locally stored data can be decrypted by the Broadband PTT application only on the specific device on which it was encrypted. The PTT application will not log sensitive data (username/password, configuration values received from the server), or PTT application configuration values.
Data at rest in the infrastructure is protected by access control including 2FA.
- DB encryption: sensitive information (multimedia messaging, location) is stored encrypted.
- Storage encryption: in Azure, MSI uses Azure Managed Disk Service with AES 256 encryption. - Data sanitisation process

Microsoft Azure provides a secure foundation across physical, infrastructure and
operational security for the WAVE PTX system. Azure is responsible for the security of the cloud; Application is responsible for security in the cloud. Azure enables application to control the content. AES-256 and TLS are used to encrypt all voice traffic and signalling information travelling between the Broadband PTT application and the Gateway server at the Broadband PTT Data Centre.
Availability and resilience
- Guaranteed availability
- Response times are dependent upon Severity Level (SL). SL1 catastrophic failure or critical failures - 1 day response; SL2- failure that limits normal use or major features-2 working days response; SL3- failure that does not prevent use of the application- 5 working days response; SL4- does not cause any real operational impact- 10 working days response
- Approach to resilience
- The system design consists of fully redundant servers that are deployed with load balancing applied. At least two instances are hosted in different avilability zones in a region in Azure cloud. Availability zones in the region are geographically separated in different data centres.
- Outage reporting
- The system is deployed in Azure cloud, and servers are monitored within a Network Operations Centre for alarms that trigger the WAVE PTX DevOps team if a service affecting issue arises.
