Product security

SSO & 2FA

O Single Sign-on (SSO) com SAML possibilita que você conceda acesso a usuários em seus próprios sistemas sem exigir que eles insiram credenciais de login adicionais. Se você estiver usando autenticação baseada em senha, você poderá ativar a autenticação de dois fatores (2FA). Mais detalhes nos nossos documentos.

Permissions

We enable permission levels within the app to be set for your teammates. Permissions can be set to include app settings, billing, user data or the ability to send or edit messages.

Password and Credential Storage

Intercom enforces a password complexity standard and credentials are stored using a PBKDF function (bcrypt).

Uptime

We have uptime of 99.9% or higher. You can check our past month stats at https://www.intercomstatus.com.

Customer Best Practices

There are simple steps you can take to increase the security of your app. Check out the Staying Secure section on our docs site.

Network and application security

Armazenamento de dados regional e hospedagem

Os serviços e dados da Intercom são hospedados nas instalações da Amazon Web Services (AWS) nos EUA (us-east-1), Dublin, Irlanda (eu-west-1) e Sydney, Austrália

Failover and DR

Intercom was built with disaster recovery in mind. All of our infrastructure and data are spread across 3 AWS availability zones and will continue to work should any one of those data centers fail.

Virtual Private Cloud

All of our servers are within our own virtual private cloud (VPC) with network access control lists (ACLs) that prevent unauthorized requests getting to our internal network.

Back Ups and Monitoring

On an application level, we produce audit logs for all activity, ship logs to Graylog for analysis and use S3 for archival purposes. All actions taken on production consoles or in the Intercom application are logged.

Permissions and Authentication

O acesso aos dados do cliente é limitado aos funcionários autorizados que necessitam disso para seu trabalho. A Intercom é 100% servida através do protocolo https. A Intercom opera uma rede corporativa de confiança zero. Não há recursos corporativos ou privilégios adicionais por estar na rede da Intercom. Oferecemos ativação de Single Sign-on (SSO) com SAML, autenticação de dois fatores (2FA) e políticas de senha fortes no GitHub, Google, AWS e Intercom para garantir que o acesso aos serviços de cloud seja protegido.

Encryption

All data sent to or from Intercom is encrypted in transit using 256 bit encryption. Our API and application endpoints are TLS/SSL only and score an “A+” rating on Qualys SSL Labs‘ tests. This means we only use strong cipher suites and have features such as HSTS and Perfect Forward Secrecy fully enabled. We also encrypt data at rest using an industry-standard AES-256 encryption algorithm.

Pentests, Vulnerability Scanning and Bug Bounty Program

Intercom uses third party security tools to continuously scan for vulnerabilities. Our dedicated security team responds to issues raised. Twice yearly we engage third-party security experts to perform detailed penetration tests on the Intercom application and infrastructure. Intercom also runs a ‘bug bounty’ program with Bugcrowd, which gives security researchers a platform for testing and submitting vulnerability reports.

Incident Response

Intercom implements a protocol for handling security events which includes escalation procedures, rapid mitigation and post mortem. All employees are informed of our policies.

Additional Security features

All employees complete Security and Awareness training annually.

Confidentiality
