Software Security Practices at Key Metric Software

Introduction

In today's digital age, software security is not just an option, but a necessity. Key Metric Software understands the trust our customers place in us when they use our software products, and we are committed to upholding that trust. That's why we have implemented a robust set of modern software security practices in our development process.

Built in a Secure Environment

All Key Metric Software products are built in a secure development environment. Our development systems are protected by strong passwords and are only accessible by authorized on-site personnel. All software development work is done in a single physical location. Key Metric Software development work is never outsourced to third-party developers or contractors.

Additionally, we take the following steps to help ensure the security of our environment throughout the entire software development process:

  • Regularly log, monitor, and audit access to our development systems.
  • Keep all systems up-to-date with the latest security patches.
  • Implement defensive coding practices to help prevent common software security vulnerabilities.
  • Use extensive code reviews and automated testing to help ensure the security of our software products.
  • Leverage modern software security tools, such as static code analysis, to help identify and eliminate security vulnerabilities.
  • Carefully evaluate and monitor all software dependencies for security vulnerabilities.

Native Windows Desktop Software

SQL Backup Master is a native Windows desktop application. This means that it runs directly on your Windows computer, without the need for a web browser or any other software. Native Windows applications are inherently more secure than web applications because they run in a controlled environment and do not rely on external systems.

Other native windows applications developed by Key Metric Software include:
