Technical Infrastructure
Our technical infrastructure consists of so-called root servers provided by Hetzner. We take security very seriously.
-
Our technical staff access our servers only over encrypted connections (SSL), which enforces a two-step verification with a smart card and a password.
-
Kicktipp blocks with a firewall all access to non authorized ports. Only ports which are needed for granted communication are open.
-
The employees of our data centre do not have password access to our servers.
-
All servers are physical computing units (so called dedicated servers) in a secured data centre at our hosting provider Hetzner.
-
All servers are running in Germany. All data is processed and stored solely in Germany. Therefore german regulation rules about data protection applies.
Our website is developed and runs with 100% free software with Linux at its base. Linux is famous for its extraordinary safety. Security patches are installed by us within hours on all productive systems.
