Microsoft Azure

Azure is a public cloud service platform that supports a broad selection of operating systems, programming languages, frameworks, tools, databases, and devices. SmartDocumentor Cloud is an application that runs on Microsoft Azure and takes full advantage of its built-in Storage security capabilities, namely:

• Azure role-based access control (Azure RBAC) - allows organizations to enforce secure data access by granting appropriate access rights through the assignment of Azure roles to groups and applications. This ensures the implementation of the "need to know" and "least privilege" security principles, including the control of access to storage keys in the Azure Resource Manager model.
• Shared Access Signature - allows us to delegate restricted access to storage account resources, enabling us to grant specific permissions for a set duration without the need to disclose account access keys.
• Encryption in Transit and at rest – applies different levels of encryption to your data while it’s transmitted and “at rest”.
• Storage Analytics - offers logging and metrics data for storage accounts, facilitating the tracing of requests, analysis of usage patterns, and troubleshooting storage account issues. It records comprehensive information about successful and failed requests, including various error types, requests made using Shared Access Signatures (SAS), and requests to analytics data, providing valuable insights for monitoring and diagnosing storage service operations.

Microsoft Azure AI Services

Azure AI Services is a set of cloud-based APIs that developers can use in AI applications and data flows. It provides pretrained models that are ready to use in applications, requiring no data and no model training on the developer’s part. The services are developed by the Microsoft AI and Research team and expose the latest deep learning algorithms. They're consumed over HTTP REST interfaces.

SmartDocumentor Cloud relies on a set of these services, namely Speech (used for transcriptions) and AI Document Intelligence (used for form recognition). Azure AI Services abide by a security baseline (which you can read all about here) and by Azure AI services’ security (which you can read all about here).
