Is WrkLst secure?

Security is our top priority. We adhere to the highest industry standards in encryption and security architecture to ensure that your data remains protected at all times. Data Encryption & Communication Security All communication between you and our servers is fully encrypted, and your data is also encrypted at rest—meaning it remains secure even when not actively in use. Isolated Data Architecture Each WrkLst account operates within its own database, ensuring a strong architectural separation of data between accounts. Additionally, documents and images are stored in dedicated substructures, further enhancing security and data integrity. Strong Authentication & Account Protection • All users must create a highly secure, complex password to access their accounts, significantly reducing the risk of unauthorized access. • Login attempts are protected with throttling and other security measures to prevent automated attacks. • WrkLst supports advanced role-based access controls, allowing you to define user permissions, control data visibility, and restrict export capabilities. Secure Infrastructure & Continuous Updates • Our servers run on robust, Linux-based systems that are regularly updated with the latest security patches. • The WrkLst software is actively maintained, ensuring vulnerabilities are addressed as soon as they arise. • System credentials and encryption keys are stored securely in advanced password and key vaults, with strict internal access policies in place. Data Redundancy & Backup Protection To protect against data corruption or potential disasters, we implement: • Redundant server and storage systems • Incremental backups of all databases Secure Data Migration If you entrust us with migrating your existing data from spreadsheets or databases into WrkLst: • These files are stored on encrypted workstations with strict access controls. • All data transfers are encrypted—WrkLst does not use unencrypted transfers under any circumstances. We are confident that our security measures exceed those of typical in-house and cloud-based solutions commonly found in artist studios, galleries, and museums. WrkLst provides one of the highest levels of data protection available, without compromising your ability to conveniently access your information.

Is WrkLst a 'green' service?

Sustainability is an integral part of WrkLst’s strategy. We prioritize using energy-efficient data centers and continuously optimize our infrastructure and processes to minimize energy consumption. Choosing a Sustainable Cloud Provider When selecting a cloud provider for WrkLst, we sought a solution that was highly flexible, ultra-fast, and committed to renewable energy. Unfortunately, transparency in the cloud industry regarding environmental impact is still limited. Amazon Web Services (AWS), the largest cloud provider, has been repeatedly criticized for its lack of transparency and limited use of renewable energy. According to past Greenpeace reports, AWS used only 17% renewable energy in 2016 and received an overall environmental rating of C. By contrast, Google Cloud—our chosen provider—was ranked among the greenest infrastructure providers, earning an A grade from Greenpeace. Google has been a leader in sustainability, operating one of the cleanest cloud infrastructures available. Our Commitment to Sustainability • 100% Renewable Energy-Powered Hosting: Google Cloud has been carbon-neutral since 2007 and aims to run entirely on carbon-free energy by 2030. • Energy-Efficient Data Centers: Google’s data centers are among the most energy-efficient in the world, consuming 50% less energy than typical data centers. • Continuous Optimization: We regularly assess and improve our infrastructure to minimize our energy footprint. At WrkLst, we are committed to providing a high-performance and eco-friendly service, ensuring that security, speed, and sustainability go hand in hand.
