Security Whitepaper

 

Security is at the core of Autodesk Construction Cloud

 

 

Confidentiality, integrity, and availability of your data is vital to your business operations, and we take that responsibility seriously.

The Autodesk Construction Cloud platform is designed and built using best-in-class cloud software practices and powered by Amazon Web Services (AWS), the world’s leader in cloud infrastructure.

Autodesk has selected industry standard SSAE-16 AT 101 SOC 2 attestation and ISO 27001, ISO 27017 and ISO 27018 certifications to validate our security posture. *Autodesk Construction Cloud is scheduled to be included in Autodesk’s next annual SOC2 and ISO audit.

Data Encryption and Privacy

Autodesk Construction Cloud is designed with privacy in mind. All files uploaded to any of the Autodesk Construction Cloud platform products are stored in the cloud on encrypted storage. The storage solution uses the 256-bit advanced encryption (AES-256). Network traffic containing sensitive information, such as credentials and session tokens, is transmitted securely encrypted using Transfer Layer Security (TLS) encryption technology.

Access Control

Our cloud infrastructure is hosted in top tiered data centers managed by our trusted partner Amazon web services. We use role based access control methods that restricts privileged access to the information resources based on the concept of least privilege. Authorization to access requires approval by management responsible for confidentiality, integrity and availability.
