Your business runs on it — so we protect it like ours
When your operations move onto software we built, the security of that system becomes our responsibility. Here's exactly how we handle it — hosting, data protection, access and recovery.
Six things we do on every project
Hosted on Microsoft Azure
Every system we build is developed, deployed and monitored on Microsoft Azure — enterprise-grade cloud infrastructure with UK and EU data residency options, so your data stays where you need it to.
UK GDPR by design
Data protection is designed in from discovery, not bolted on: we map what personal data your system holds, why, and for how long — and build retention, consent and subject-access workflows to match.
Access control & authentication
Role-based access so everyone sees exactly what their job needs and nothing more, with strong authentication options including multi-factor and single sign-on via Microsoft 365 or Google.
Secure development practices
Code reviews, static analysis and secure coding standards on every project. Quality and security are built in during development — not inspected in afterwards.
Backups & continuity
Automated, tested backups with defined recovery objectives. If the worst happens — hardware failure, human error, bad data — we can roll back, and we know exactly how long that takes.
Monitoring & patching
Production systems are monitored for errors, performance and unusual activity, with security patches applied as part of every maintenance plan — not when someone remembers.
The questions buyers should ask — answered
Who can see my business data?
Your data belongs to you. We access production data only when support work requires it, and your team controls who in your business sees what through role-based permissions.
Where is my data stored?
In Microsoft Azure data centres, with UK or EU regions chosen to match your requirements. Nothing is stored on developer laptops or moved outside agreed regions.
What about intellectual property?
You receive a licence covering use, distribution and sale of your product, while Codira retains the underlying code rights — the same model that lets us maintain and improve your system long-term. Licensing options are discussed openly during your consultation.
What happens if we part ways?
We plan exits like grown-ups: your data is exportable in standard formats, and handover arrangements are agreed in your contract — no hostage situations.
Have a security questionnaire or due-diligence checklist from your own compliance process? Send it over — jordan@wearecodira.com — and we'll complete it as part of your consultation.
Security questions about your project?
Bring them to the free consultation — data residency, access control, compliance requirements. The earlier security is in the conversation, the cheaper it is to get right.
