Shark Software is a self-contained platform for building end-to-end ROI business cases. The software is based on a smart web app architecture and is consumable across a multitude of platforms from traditional screen and keyboard to touch based tablet and phone devices. The front end of the software is written in JavaScript using the React framework for the view layer and Redux for the data state management (see https://reactjs.org/ and https://redux.js.org/).
Authentication of users is implemented using the Auth0 platform that supports either native authentication, multi-factor authentication, SAML2.0, AD (LD or LDAP) and social connectors (see https://auth0.com/). Auth0 use AWS for their cloud data storage based on a multi-region fault resilient cluster, for more information on their data storage strategy please see the following links:

Data is stored using Google Firebase Firestore NoSQL database in a virtualised infrastructure. All data is encrypted before it is written to disk using the 256-bit encryption standard and each encryption key is itself encrypted with a regularly rotated set of master keys. The data is hosted on Google's US Eastern data centre (us-east1, Moncks Corner, South Carolina, USA) on solid state hard drives.
We also use AWS RDS MySQL instance for storing some user credentials (first name, last name and email address only). Please see below for information regarding AWS compliance and security.
Other areas of data storage include the hosted Auth0 platform for native user credentials and authentication (this is only relevant if the customer is using our native authentication and not their own corporate systems e.g. Active Directory). We also store error logging and session data using a system called LogRocket which is stored on Google cloud platform. For further information on the way in which LogRocket stores its data please reference the following link:
