Predict! Cloud Hosting

Cloud hosting of software is fast becoming the new normal as organisations appreciate the boost in corporate efficiency, productivity and the capex reduction opportunities it provides.

Take up is growing following the significant investment cloud providers have made in security, which closes the gap between what an enterprise can achieve in their on-premise IT infrastructure and what they get from a cloud provider.

Globally, we are seeing our customers making the move to Predict! Cloud, our managed hosting service. It is recognised as a secure and reliable approach, with more flexibility than their on-premise solution. They also appreciate the trust they can place in our award-winning support team to manage the hosted platform for them.

Microsoft Azure:

We chose to partner with MS Azure because of their long-standing reputation as a safe, trusted and robust provider of ISO 27001 compliant hosted environments across industry sectors.

MS Azure delighted us with their responsiveness when we were exploring hosted platform options. As we pride ourselves on being responsive to our customers, this was an important consideration for our hosting partner.

Security:

Secure and trusted

The MS Azure platform satisfies the rigorous security and privacy demands of organisations handling incredibly sensitive data: US government institutions, and 90% of Fortune 500 companies.  

MS Azure offers the most comprehensive set of compliance offerings of any cloud service provider, including ITAR, DoD, IRAP. Find out more about the full list of Microsoft Azure compliance.

Encryption 

Data in-flight is encrypted over industry-standard HTTPS.  

Data at rest is encrypted using Azure Storage Service Encryption (SSE) 

All data written to Azure storage is encrypted through 256-bit Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) encryption. 

DNS security and certificates 

Risk Decisions owns the domain names and certificates required to access the Predict! services. We automatically renew these on a regular basis as per industry best practice.  

Ask us about restricting traffic to a limited set of IP addresses, such as those belonging to your organisation’s domain. 

Anti-Virus 

All hosted servers are protected by Azure’s Endpoint Protection which provides scheduled and real-time scanning for malware, spyware and viruses.

With a Web Application Firewall (WAF) enabled as standard, your data will be protected against common Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks too. 

Ownership:

We know how much data sovereignty matters to all our customers. So, you decide the region and data centre right for you, and we’ll deploy Predict! there. To date, Microsoft has announced 54 Azure regions – more than any other cloud provider.

We are committed to protecting and respecting your privacy. Customer personal data stored in Predict! is owned by the Customer, and Risk Decisions’ robust processes will ensure that your data is always protected. Click here for Risk Decisions privacy notice.

Reduced expenditure:

You can make substantial capital savings by reducing spending on equipment and infrastructure as you no longer need to build, operate and maintain an expensive data centre. You may also be able to reduce operating costs too as energy consumption costs will reduce.

Many organisations find that cloud hosting means they can redeploy their scarce, valuable IT people resources to areas that make more money for the business.
