Trust & reliability

Built to stay up, and to get fixed fast.

Firms run live mediations on DétenteIQ, so availability and a quick, competent response when something needs attention are not extras — they are the product. This is how the service is kept running, watched, backed up, and supported.

Short version: hosted on AWS with a 99.5% monthly availability target and independent uptime monitoring, continuously watched for errors, downtime, and disk, backed up nightly to encrypted off-instance storage with recovery tested quarterly, and supported on a defined, severity-based response.
Availability & monitoring

Watched in real time, with the context to fix fast.

Application errors are captured and surfaced as they happen, with the context needed to fix them, and availability is measured independently rather than on our own say-so.

Backups & recovery

Backed up nightly, and the restore is tested.

A backup that has never been restored is treated as unproven, which is why we test it rather than assume it. Recovery runs from documented procedure, not from one person's memory.

Support

A defined response, by severity.

Issues are reported through the in-application Support tool, by email, or by phone for urgent matters, and every issue is assigned a severity with a committed time to engage. The response target is a commitment to acknowledge, confirm severity, and own the issue; for a critical issue, work continues until service is restored.

SeverityResponse target
Critical — service unavailable, a live mediation blocked, or a data-integrity or security concern2 hours, incl. after-hours
High — a major function impaired with no workaroundSame business day
Normal — a function degraded, workaround available2 business days
Low — a question, cosmetic issue, or request5 business days
Availability and response targets are summarized here; the governing figures are set out in the Service Level Agreement provided with a firm's engagement.
Continuity

Not dependent on any one person, and never a lock-in.

Continuity is deliberately built so that operating and recovering the service is a matter of following documented procedure rather than reconstructing knowledge that lives in one person's head. The system is documented end to end in a written operations runbook covering deployment, backup and restore, rollback, and incident response.

Your data is yours. It is exportable in a standard, usable format at any time on request, so a firm can leave with its own records at any point, independent of the company's status. Reasonable transition assistance is available under the agreement.

Documentation

The paperwork your reviewers ask for.

A firm's IT, risk, or procurement team can evaluate DétenteIQ on paper before a single call. Three are available to download now; the Data Processing Addendum and full security questionnaire we share on request, under NDA where appropriate.

What's live, and what's next

In place today — and on the roadmap.

In place today

Live now

Independent uptime monitoring · error and disk alerting · nightly encrypted off-instance backups · quarterly restore tests · minute-scale rollback · documented runbooks · a defined support SLA.

On the roadmap

Independent validation & redundancy

A third-party penetration test and a SOC 2 examination, and additional infrastructure redundancy as the client base grows. We'll state each here, with the date, as it is completed.

This page is a snapshot, not a contract; the governing commitments are in the Service Level Agreement and the Master Services Agreement for a given firm.

Want the details before you commit?

We'll share the SLA, the business-continuity summary, the security questionnaire, and the DPA, sign the NDA, and walk your IT and risk teams through any of it directly.
