Tech Infrastructure & Security

Engineered so the past survives every conceivable failure

Heritage data cannot be re-created once lost. Our infrastructure assumes disks fail, formats die and attackers probe — and is layered so that none of those events ever touch the collection.

Redundant Multi-Region Data Storage

Erasure-coded objects replicated across independent regions and media classes. Any single facility — or provider — can fail without a byte of heritage data being at risk.

3+ regions

Metadata Enrichment Engines

Automated pipelines normalize records to Dublin Core and MARC21, reconcile authority files (VIAF, GeoNames, LCSH), and enrich sparse catalogue data with linked-data suggestions.

Zero-Trust Access Protocols

Every request is verified: short-lived credentials, device posture checks, hardware-key MFA for administrators and full session audit trails. No implicit trust, ever.

100% verified requests

Public & Private Access Controls

Granular visibility policies per collection, item or image region — open public portals, embargoed scholarship, staff-only dark archives and reading-room-restricted views in one repository.

Per-item granularity

Museum API Integrations

Two-way connectors for TMS, Axiell, CollectiveAccess, ArchivesSpace and OAI-PMH harvesting, plus REST and IIIF APIs so your cataloguers never re-key a record.

20+ connectors

Semantic Search & Discovery Index

A resilient full-text and faceted index over every artifact and metadata field, with typo tolerance, multilingual analyzers and sub-second queries across 100M+ records.

99.999% Durability

Defence in depth, by design

Durability isn't a marketing number — it's the arithmetic of independent copies, continuous verification and immutable storage. These are the practices behind ours.

  • Encryption in transit (TLS 1.3) and at rest (AES-256, per-object keys)
  • Customer-held encryption keys with hardware security module escrow
  • Immutable object locking — not even administrators can delete an AIP
  • Continuous fixity verification with automated self-healing
  • SOC 2-aligned controls and annual independent penetration testing
  • Geo-fenced administrative access with break-glass procedures
