Bloomfire hosting is extremely secure. Our servers are hosted at SSAE 16 compliant facilities. Our hosting environment encrypts customer data using AES-256 at rest to keep your data safe. And all connections to Bloomfire are secured via SSL/TLS. We provide security support, vulnerability testing, reporting, and more to ensure uptime and data integrity.

Depending on the configuration, system administrators have access to add new members to the community. Provisioning can also occur using SCIM API that meets RFC 7643/7644. If your company uses Single Sign-on, we support SAML 2.0 as our standard for SSO.

Groups are used to create secure permissioning for restricted content. If a document is published to a group, only members of that group will be able to find it. If they aren’t in the group, they won’t see it. However, documents can be cross-published to different groups as needed, allowing you to maintain a single version that reflects updates across all groups when changes are made.

Our advanced reporting tools can be used to easily audit user activity and content engagement, including views, engagement, document downloads, search history, login history, and system information.

Depending on the configuration, data may remain on your existing cloud base storage or be uploaded to a Bloomfire platform tenant. Any data stored in Bloomfire is kept in SSAE-compliant facilities with encrypted backups and multiple storage locations.

We recognize the expectation of our customers to access a security compliance report from an external auditor. SOC 2 is more frequently preferred by our customers, and most importantly, we feel it helps us best maintain our focus on customer data security. ISO 27001 is an excellent security compliance program, and for a while, we ran both. Our audits showed there was a lot of overlap, and it was not necessary to maintain both. For those reasons, in 2022, Bloomfire has decided to adopt SOC 2 as our single security compliance program going forward.
