Hosting & Recovery
By default the Brilbook instances are hosted in Microsoft Azure shared infrastructure. We can also host Brilbook on AWS (Amazon Web Services) and GCP (Google Cloud) if required by the client.
Yes, we can deploy Brilbook in any client's on cloud or plysical server.
A full backup of Brilbook is done once every 24 hours with differential backups done every 20 mins. Each backups is encryoted and maintained for 30 days from backup date.
In event of irrecoverable infrastructure failure, the impacted Brilbook instance is swiftly recovered to the nearest backup point on another secured infrastructure.
Data Privacy
Yes, you own your data at all times. You can export data from Brilbook or even request regular data extracts. The data stays secured and only accessible to you during the active contract and is purged after a proper handover if the contract expires or is cancelled.
If you select Unmanaged subscription then the Brilbook instance is hosted on server owned by you and hence the infrastructure and data is completely in your control. If you select the Managed subscription we host your application on a completely secured server either on Azure, AWS, GCP or OVH i.e. world-class data centers managed by leading cloud providers.
No, we do not ever share any Client’s information or business data with any third-party unless the Client has given us written permission for this for the purpose of certain services or if the Client has enabled any integration with their Brilbook instance.
Brilbook has data export features which client team can use to download / extract all their data. Client can also request help from Brilbook’s support team to get the data extracted. On cacellation of subscription, the Client’s Brilbook instance is immediately taken offline and no access to the Client’s data is available. The deactivated instance is securely maintained for further 15 days before being completely deleted with its backups. After deletion the instance and client data is no longer recoverable.
None of our teams have access to your applications or data. We ensure this as part of our strict protocols. The Brilbook support team only gets temporary access to the application through a secured window if a reported issue needs to be diagnosed. Where possible we diagnose any issues on a separate trial environment instead of your production environment.
Security
Servers hosting Brilbook are secured with Firewall (Hardware & Software) and Antimalware. Additionally to proactively track & repel DDOS and other attacks, the provider has comprehensive built-in protection covering not only the servers but also other network components.

Other measures include setting strict access policies, encryption of data through network and on the server and regular log monitoring.
The Brilbook application comes with a comprehensive security model including a robust RBAC (Role Based Access Control).

Additionally it integrates with authentication providers like Azure, Google & Microsoft and also works with Multi-factor Authentication (MFA).
The Brilbook data is stored in an encrypted SQL server database. The actual storage medium where the database files are stored are also encrypted with Bitlocker. Additionally, any data backups created on the server are encrypted with a 2 key encryption ensuring no accidental data leak.
All integration endpoints are secured with 256 bit SSL encryption. Where necessary these encryption is reviewed against any specific requirement for SHA-2 / AES.

The integrations also use a client id and key combination to ensure that no user credentials are ever exposed.
Availability
Brilbook's up-time depends more on the cloud provider's up-time which is why we only use globally trusted cloud providers like Microsoft Azure, AWS (Amazon Web Services), GCP (Google Cloud Platform) and OVH. These providers have a proven 99.99% up-time and the best recovery approach.

Additionally, any upgrades to Brilbook are scheduled off-business hours as per the client and any such down-time is duly notified to the client Brilbook Admins in advance.

Brilbook can be customised by the Brilbook Project team, any of the Brilbook Solution Partners, any of the Client’s vendors or even Client’s internal IT team.
Almost all future solution upgrades of Brilbook are included within the active licensing subscription. Any new features which incur additional infrastructure or service cost will not be part of the regular updates and will be provisioned only on request.
Whenever an upgrade of Brilbook is released, the Customer Success team emails the Clients to let them know and co-ordinates the deployment of the upgrade on the Client’s Brilbook instance.

  • Other IT teams will need to ensure technical skills and knowledge of Brilbook to be able to optimally customise Brilbook.

Open-source software (OSS) offers many benefits, but it also comes with disadvantages that should be considered, especially depending on the use case. Some of the main disadvantages of OSS are:
  • Security Risks - Open-source code is publicly accessible, making it easier for malicious actors to identify and exploit vulnerabilities. The responsibility for patching and updating security flaws often lies with the user team.
  • Compatibility Issues - Open-source software might not always integrate seamlessly with proprietary systems or third-party applications. Users may face difficulties ensuring compatibility with existing hardware or software.
  • Steep Learning Curve - Many open-source tools lack user-friendly interfaces and require technical expertise to install, configure, and use effectively. New users or non-technical personnel may find it challenging to adopt and troubleshoot.
  • Lack of Dedicated Support - Open-source software often relies on community support, which may not be as fast or reliable as professional customer service. Critical issues might take longer to resolve if the community is not active or responsive.
  • Hidden costs - Almost all open-source tools incur additional setup cost, hosting cost, security costs and maintenance contracts for upgrades.
  • Out-of-date - Teams delivering solutions over open-source platform cannot always ensure regular upgrades and future proof advanced features. Also, due to lack of dedicated development team a open-source platform may not undergo necessary transformations if the underlying technology stack is discontinued.
Brilbook's combination of comprehensive features, security compliance, continuous updates, quick configurability, flexibility, ease of support & customizations and affordability makes it a compelling choice for businesses seeking an integrated and customizable enterprise-grade automation platform.
