What you get with PRO Hosting
PRO Support
You get everything described above, plus the following:
Peace of mind
Freedom from worrying about software updates, vulnerabilities, backups, uptime, and other problems that could arise with the self-hosted option. Let us deal with these concerns so that you can focus on your research. All of our servers are constantly monitored at different levels.
Security
At Deltablot, we are serious about our responsibility to keep your research results secure. We continually review our code and processes for potential vulnerabilities, and adopt new measures wherever possible to further secure your data. In the following section, we list some of the core things we do to maintain a high level of security.
Secure access to the service
All connections to our web services must use Transport Layer Security (TLS) encryption. This prevents eavesdropping, tampering, and message forgery for any communication between a client’s computer or phone and our servers.
We have full support for Perfect Forward Secrecy (PFS) with our encrypted connections, which ensures that even if we were somehow compromised in the future, no previous communication could be decrypted.
A Strict Transport Security header is sent with all of our webpages. This tells all modern browsers to only connect to us over an encrypted connection, even if you have a bookmark, click a link, or type a URL to an insecure page at our site.
Content security policy
eLabFTW sends a Content Security Policy header, which ensures that only scripts we’ve written can be run on the webpage. This means that a potentially malicious actor would not be able to do anything harmful.
We keep track of software updates
Software contains bugs. We track the software we use along with any security vulnerabilities, and upgrade as soon as an issue is reported.
We use software systems that take security seriously
We use RockyLinux as our operating system because they are serious about security responsibilities and updates. In most cases, an update that addresses a security problem will be available within hours of the original report.
Our base system is running a hardened configuration, and we use best practices such as least privilege and separation of concerns. Let us know if you’d like to know more about our infrastructure and procedures.
Bug bounty
We run a tight ship, but we’re only human and humans can make mistakes. That’s why we run a bug bounty program to encourage responsible disclosure of security issues and to reward security researchers who take the time to help us keep client data safe.
Password hashing
eLabFTW uses a state of the art password hashing algorithm (Bcrypt) to store passwords in a non-reversible manner.
Data integrity
The MySQL database is configured in High Availability mode (automatic healing and failover). If the primary node is no longer operational, the secondary node will take over. Client data is redundant, and its integrity is therefore guaranteed.
Data confidentiality
Your data is yours and yours only. There is no “sharing with a third-party for marketing purposes” or other nasty things like that here. As you can see, there is no Google tracking on this website. No cookies are set either. eLabFTW is all about taking back control of your data. All our offers are compatible with the European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
What makes eLabFTW different from other electronic laboratory notebooks?
eLabFTW started in a lab, at the bench, and was continuously developed over many years based on the needs and suggestions of colleagues. It is always being improved, with a constant focus on the next update. The project stems from a concrete need to properly log experiments and organize lab assets. It is made with love and distributed freely, because sharing is caring.
Another important aspect is the incredible amount of care taken in developing the codebase, with the goal of minimizing potential security issues and offering an optimal user experience. eLabFTW is distinct from other solutions because it was not created to make a profit, but to solve problems and help researchers.
It is all of these qualities that make eLabFTW the most popular open source electronic lab notebook (ELN) worldwide.
