Enterprise-Grade Security for Your Web Archives
Security by Design
At Aleph Archives, security is not a feature we added later — it is the foundation of our architecture. Every web archive we produce is cryptographically verified at the point of capture, stored in tamper-evident formats on immutable infrastructure, and protected by enterprise-grade security controls throughout its lifecycle.
Our clients include Fortune 500 companies in financial services, healthcare, insurance, and government — organisations where a security breach or a compromised archive is not an option. We built our platform to meet their requirements from day one.
Core Security Standards
ISO 28500 WARC Standard
Every archive is stored in the international standard WARC format (ISO 28500:2017), ensuring long-term accessibility, interoperability, and legal admissibility. WARC is the same format used by national libraries and government archives worldwide — it is the gold standard for web preservation.
Cryptographic Verification
At the moment of capture, every archived page is signed with SHA-512 and RIPEMD-160 cryptographic hashes. These dual signatures create tamper-evident proof of authenticity — any modification to the archive after capture is mathematically detectable. Your archives are not just preserved; they are provably authentic.
European Data Sovereignty
Your data stays in the jurisdiction you choose. We offer hosting in Switzerland and across the European Economic Area, ensuring full compliance with GDPR, the Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection (FADP), and sector-specific data residency requirements. No data leaves Europe without your explicit consent.
Your Data. Your Jurisdiction. Your Control.
Unlike competitors who store archives on shared US cloud infrastructure, Aleph Archives offers dedicated hosting in Switzerland and across the EEA — giving you full control over where your data resides.
Infrastructure Security
WORM-Compliant Storage
All archives are stored on Write Once Read Many (WORM) infrastructure. Once a web capture is written, it cannot be modified, overwritten, or deleted — even by our own engineers. This immutability is essential for regulatory compliance and legal defensibility, meeting the strictest requirements of SEC Rule 17a-4, FINRA, and European record-keeping regulations.
Access Control & Audit Logging
The Aleph Archives platform enforces role-based access control (RBAC) with granular permissions. Every access, search, export, and administrative action is logged in an immutable audit trail. Encrypted data transfer (TLS 1.3) ensures that archived content is protected in transit. Your compliance team has full visibility into who accessed what, and when.
Redundancy & Business Continuity
Archives are stored with full redundancy across geographically distributed data centres within your chosen jurisdiction. Our infrastructure is designed for 99.9% availability with automated failover, ensuring your archives are always accessible — even during hardware failures or regional outages. Regular integrity checks verify that every archive remains complete and unaltered.
Security Without Compromise
While some competitors rely on shared public cloud storage and generic security controls, Aleph Archives provides dedicated, jurisdiction-specific infrastructure with cryptographic verification built into every capture. See the difference for yourself.
Built for Organisations That Cannot Afford Compromise
Web archives are legal evidence. They are submitted to regulators, produced in litigation, and relied upon by compliance teams to demonstrate what was published and when. The security of these archives is not optional — it is the entire point.
Aleph Archives was designed from the ground up for organisations in regulated industries. Our cryptographic verification, WORM-compliant storage, and European data sovereignty are not add-on features — they are core to our architecture. Every archive we produce is tamper-evident, immutable, and provably authentic.
We do not ask you to trust us. We give you the cryptographic proof.
