Security and Data Protection for Performance Management

PerformSpark uses access controls, encryption, authentication, resilient infrastructure, backups, and operational monitoring to help protect performance and employee information. For teams evaluating performance management software security, this page explains the safeguards to review and the questions to confirm during procurement.

AWS Cloud

Infrastructure security

Enterprise cloud

PerformSpark is hosted on AWS and uses configured cloud infrastructure controls to support availability, scalability, and data protection.

Network protection

Isolated VPC environments, strict security groups, and access control policies limit exposure and restrict traffic to only what’s required.

DDoS protection

Built-in AWS protections defend against distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks and help maintain platform availability.

Incident monitoring & response

Operational monitoring

Monitoring and alerting processes help the team review unusual activity and respond to potential security events.

Incident response

Documented response procedures support investigation, mitigation, and communication during security incidents.

High availability

Multi-zone deployment is designed to improve resilience and help maintain service availability during infrastructure disruptions.

Protect Performance Data in Transit and at Rest

Secure storage

Performance management data protection includes how HR information is stored, backed up, recovered, retained, and made available. Confirm architecture, retention, recovery objectives, and availability requirements during your security review.

Automated backups

Backup and retention processes are used to support recovery. Specific retention, recovery, and availability terms should be confirmed in the applicable service documentation.

Access Control, Authentication, and Application Safeguards

Secure authentication

Security for HR performance software should include account-protection controls such as password hashing and multi-factor authentication (MFA), alongside appropriate access and permission controls for employee information.

Regular updates

Security patches and dependency updates as part of ongoing maintenance.

Secure development

Code reviews, automated scanning, and adherence to OWASP Top 10 guidelines.

Access controls

Role-based permissions with detailed audit logs.
