Frequently Asked Questions
Your questions about security and privacy answered.
Stack Internal requires the use of HTTPS in order for our clients to communicate with the site. Data is encrypted in-transit and at-rest.
Stack Overflow doesn’t store usernames or passwords that are owned and managed by your organization because we require you to configure a SAML 2.0 Identity Provider (IdP) in order for users to access the site. To successfully log in with an account from a configured SAML 2.0 IDP, we require a unique ID, an email, and a full name.
Our Business and Enterprise plans have SOC 2 Type II reports, and our Enterprise plan is ISO 27001 and ISO 27701 certified.
For Business and Enterprise Cloud options, we use Microsoft Azure Cloud, which means you’ll have world class infrastructure and security of the platform as your backbone. Our Business and Enterprise plans include SOC 2 Type II reports along with other robust security measures.
Each Enterprise instance of Stack Internal is isolated in its own Virtual Network within our Azure Cloud Subscription. This means that the infrastructure for your instance is not shared among our customer base and we provision each customer’s infrastructure in such a way that traffic and data never cross customer boundaries. The Business plan is multi-tenant, and customer data is logically separated in the database.
Isolated cloud infrastructure is provisioned for Enterprise customers. Business instances share infrastructure, particularly networking and databases. Databases are logically separated.
We use SQL Transparent Data Encryption (TDE), and all data is encrypted at rest using AES-256.
Access is restricted to Site Reliability Engineers for Stack Internal Business and Enterprise plans who have been trained on the information security policies and guidelines in place. This includes guidelines for data loss and leakage prevention, which aim to prevent customer data from ever leaving the provisioned Cloud environment.
Since we run and manage the Enterprise and Business plans through a SOC 2 Type II attested and ISO27001 certified Azure Cloud, you can learn all about it in detailed specifications published by Azure Cloud on the security of its public cloud platform and infrastructure.
No, we do not use any customer data for model training purposes.
