Hubstaff Security and Screenshot Uploading

Here are a few most commonly asked security and screenshot upload questions:


Question:

How are the desktop images uploaded to Amazon S3? Specifically what ports and protocol?

Answer:

They are uploaded via SSL over the standard HTTPS port (443)


Question:

Does the client initiate the upload of desktop screen shots or is this done from the server?

Answer:

The client does all screenshot uploading, screenshots never pass through the server.


Question:

Are the screenshots encrypted at rest on the amazon servers? To be HIPAA compliant data needs to be encrypted at rest as well as in transit.

Answer:

We currently are encrypting at rest.


Question:

Are the keystrokes and screen shots uploaded at the same time? Do both the screen shots and keystroke count both use 443?

Answer:

We do not upload keystrokes (We do not even store keystrokes locally).  We upload the total seconds within a 10 min block that there was “activity” and the total seconds “worked” roughly every 10 minutes via SSL (port 443).
