Mapvera was designed so performance, availability and security reinforce one another. This guide is the short tour; the full story lives on our Security and Trust page.
Fast and available by design
Published maps are delivered as static content from hundreds of global edge locations, close to your visitors. There is no live database in the map load path, so a published map does not depend on a live database connection simply to load.
Once a visitor has opened a map, Offline Mode retains it on their device for up to 7 days, and often longer depending on the device and browser. They can close the browser, lose signal and still use the map, and the retained copy updates to the latest published version whenever they are back online.
Layers of protection
Every request passes through several layers before it can reach Mapvera application logic: automatic network protection, distributed denial-of-service mitigation with more than 500 Tbps of capacity, automated bot controls, a Web Application Firewall and server-side authentication and validation. Modern TLS encryption and strict browser security headers protect traffic and pages throughout.
Your team's access
Each team separates administrator and member roles, with permission checks enforced on the server. Teams can sign in with Microsoft or Google, restrict access to approved sign-in providers, and require a passkey or authenticator verification step even after single sign-on. Mapvera also warns administrators before a policy change could lock them out of their own team.
See Enterprise SSO safeguards and Account security for the hands-on setup guides.
Your data and recovery
Map files and uploads live in durable, encrypted object storage, and platform data in a managed serverless database that is never exposed to public visitors. Point-in-time recovery and automated versioned backups protect the platform as a whole.
Your team has its own point-in-time protection too: every save keeps a version, administrators can roll a map back to any earlier version, and an audit history records who in the team made the change with each map publish event.
Standards and reviews
Mapvera runs entirely on SOC 2 Type II assessed serverless infrastructure, and its security practices are aligned with the principles of ISO/IEC 27001 and 27002. Privacy practices are informed by the Australian Privacy Principles, the GDPR, the CCPA and the CPRA.
