CBSAlliance methodology promotes a result-driven interactive approach and guarantees better customer service with regards to quality, cost and customers strategic goals, without compromising on any of these factors.

Quality assurance and testing are extremely crucial in the software development cycle and should be introduced at the earliest stage of the project.

The dedicated Quality Assurance Department at Iflexion uses a wide range of comprehensive testing methods and tools to ensure that we deliver only the highest quality solutions. Iflexion QA specialists have expertise in multiple technologies, platforms and standards.

We at CBSAlliance are committed to delivering maximum value to our clients helping them succeed in a constantly changing and challenging biz world. Our fundamental company values stem from understanding that our success is tied with success of our clients. Our key business principles are:

Understand Clients Needs
We carefully study each customer particular case to understand the clients needs and objectives and deliver a dependable solution. We make you aware of all available options and provide you with a competent advice enabling you to take an informed business decision.

We have developed a number of documents covering our Security Policy: General Network Usage Policy, Sensitive Information Encryption and Exchange Policies. General compliance with our security policy and regulations is ensured by the usage of logon scripts and Group Policies.

Staff Security
We perform careful security checks of every person that is applying for a job. Confidentiality Agreements are an important part of the security system and every employee we hire is to sign such an Agreement. All the security-related cases and incidents are tracked and resolved by Department Managers. We inform all the people we hire about the Companys security standards and keep this knowledge up-to-date by organizing special training programs on regular basis.

Physical Security and Access Control
We imply a multi-level access control system. On the first level our security service is checking our employees ID-badges to ensure they are authorized to access the building. The next level of access control is based on the usage of electronic cards, each possessing unique radio metrics, that are given to every employee that is authorized to access the floors of our buildings. We have installed effective video monitoring and alert systems in our offices and have arranged Governmental Security Services (Police) protection of our property. The access control system is managed from one central control point, though each datacenters security system is independent.

Customers Data Protection
We understand that security of our clients data in number one priority for our business. We use 256 bit AES algorithm for traffic encryption and 2048 bit public/private keys pair for authentication purposes. Sensitive data is exchanged via SFTP server and PGP is used for emails encryption. This way compliance with the ISO standards for information security is provided. We also strictly follow all the governmental rules and regulations for emergency issues.

Additional capacities
For development purposes we use virtualization technology which enables us to build a separate operational environment for each project and thus increase resource allocation flexibility and effectiveness. This technology is based on the usage of VMware Server 1.0, VMware ESX Server 3.0 and VMware Infrastructure for project monitoring.

Security Monitoring
All the processes are constantly monitored by the administrative team and vital information on all the important changes and incidents is tracked and logged via Syslog Server for future audit.

The connection between the datacenters is provided via fiber-optic links with the bandwidth of 1Gbps. Reliability of power supply is ensured by the presence of 3 separate and independent power feeders at every datacenter and by the usage of high-performance UPSes. Internal information infrastructure includes 20 HP ProCurve switches, 1 Cisco router and a set of telephony equipment (hardware (Coral) and IP (Asterisk) telephone stations, 200 telephones and 5 GSM gateways). Network Services Reliability Failover capabilities are implemented for the main network services, such as Mail, DNS, Internet Access, Active Directory and development servers.

CBSAlliances QA department is an independent structural subdivision. Our QA team consists of skilled QA engineers and experienced testers that are involved into the projects on a dedicated or as-needed basis. QA engineers allocation depends on the project size and complexity. If it is required they can be easily switched from one project to another. Such flexibility let optimize project efforts and correspondingly the overall project budget. Since the QA team is not accountable to the project manager, their work is free from any pressure from the development team.

The most secure web applications are those that are developed initially with security in mind. CBSAlliance specialists follow a holistic approach to designing, building and supporting secure web applications. We address security issues on all application tiers (web server, application server and database).

While developing secure web applications we analyze vulnerability categories and potential threats (external or internal) depending on application scenario and technologies used. This enables us to develop an effective security architecture and take proper countermeasures.
