Infrastructure

eCourtDate is hosted entirely within AWS GovCloud (US), a physically isolated cloud environment designed to meet the security and compliance requirements of US government agencies.

Cloud Hosting​

  • AWS GovCloud (US): Isolated AWS regions operated by US persons on US soil
  • FedRAMP High authorized: The underlying infrastructure holds a FedRAMP High Authorization to Operate
  • US-only data residency: All customer data remains within the United States
  • Dedicated infrastructure: Logically separated from commercial AWS regions

Regions and Data Residency​

eCourtDate offers multiple deployment regions, all within AWS GovCloud (US). Agencies select a region during onboarding based on proximity and any jurisdiction-specific data residency requirements.

For data residency requirements beyond the available regions, contact the eCourtDate team through the Help Center.

Network Security​

Multiple layers of network security protect the platform:

  • CloudFlare DDoS protection: Distributed denial-of-service mitigation at the network edge
  • Web Application Firewall (WAF): CloudFlare WAF filters malicious requests before they reach the application
  • HTTPS enforced: All API and application traffic requires HTTPS with TLS 1.2 or higher
  • IP allowlisting: API clients can be restricted to specific IP addresses (see IP Allowlisting)
  • Rate limiting: API rate limits protect against abuse (see Rate Limits)

Availability​

  • 99.95% uptime: Platform availability target
  • Automated hourly backups: Data is backed up every hour within AWS GovCloud
  • Multi-region deployment: Agencies can deploy across multiple US regions
  • Status monitoring: Real-time platform status at status.ecourtdate.com

See Business Continuity for backup strategy, disaster recovery, and maintenance details.

Security Scanning​

Automated security scanning runs against the platform to detect vulnerabilities:

  • OWASP Top 10: Coverage for the most critical web application security risks
  • CWE/SANS Top 25: Coverage for the most common and impactful software weaknesses
  • CloudFlare WAF rules: Continuously updated rule sets to block known attack patterns

See Vulnerability Management for scanning, penetration testing, and patch management details.

Physical Security​

eCourtDate relies on AWS GovCloud's physical security controls for data center protection.
