IT Security at Sentry Road

Key Security Features of Sentry Road's Platform

Your Data: Isolated and U.S.-Based

Enterprise and large-fleet customers are provisioned on a dedicated, isolated instance — its own database, subdomain, and access credentials, with no technical pathway to any other customer's data
All customer data is stored and processed within the United States
The platform holds training records only — names, completion history, and optional employee IDs and work emails. It does not collect or store payment card data, Social Security numbers, or health information

Secure Hosting with SiteGround

Advanced Security Architecture: SiteGround uses a custom security solution that includes firewalls, real-time monitoring, and proactive threat detection
Daily Backups: Your platform data is securely backed up daily, ensuring that in the event of an issue, we can quickly restore it without loss of data
Free SSL Certificates: SiteGround provides free SSL certificates for all hosted environments, encrypting all data exchanged between the user's browser and the server to protect sensitive information
AI Anti-Bot System: SiteGround’s AI-powered bot protection automatically detects and blocks malicious bots trying to compromise the platform
Hardware Firewalls: SiteGround hosts the platform on servers protected by hardware firewalls that protect against common attacks like DDoS and brute-force login attempts
Security Updates: SiteGround ensures that all software including server-side scripts and applications, is kept up-to-date with the latest security patches

Regular Vulnerability Monitoring

Real-time alerts surface suspicious activity so it can be investigated and addressed promptly
Our hosting infrastructure is continuously scanned for malware and vulnerabilities through SiteGround's automated security systems. Sentry Road monitors Moodle security bulletins and applies application security patches, prioritizing critical and high-severity releases.

Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)

Access to the administrative backend of your Sentry Road instance is protected by two-factor authentication (2FA), adding an additional layer of security to prevent unauthorized access

Data Encryption

All data in transit is encrypted using industry-standard TLS (HTTPS), protecting login credentials and training records from interception. Data at rest is encrypted at the SiteGround infrastructure level.

Proactive Attack Prevention

SiteGround's threat-detection system continuously scans for malware and blocks known malicious code at the infrastructure level
Regular malware scans help to identify potential vulnerabilities early, reducing the risk of data breaches or system downtime

Web Application Firewall (WAF)

SiteGround employs a Web Application Firewall to filter and monitor HTTP traffic between the platform and the internet. This protects against common threats such as SQL injection, cross-site scripting (XSS), and cross-site request forgery (CSRF)

Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) Protection

SiteGround’s servers come with built-in DDoS protection, safe-guarding the platform against large-scale attacks designed to overwhelm and shut down the server

Constant Monitoring and Expert Support

SiteGround's security operations team continuously monitors the server environment for threats and attacks. Sentry Road monitors application-level activity logs and responds to alerts.
We provide business-hours support with escalation for security issues, ensuring immediate assistance if you ever encounter a problem
