Security, privacy and trust

Security designed for research environments.

KaiperKit is designed so researchers, research groups and institutions can organise their scientific activity within independent workspaces, with authenticated access and control over members, roles and permissions.

🔒

Control within each workspace

KaiperKit protects information through secure authentication, roles, permissions, separate work environments and secure servers.

Our commitment to security

A platform built to protect research activity.

KaiperKit is built around private access and clear separation of data. Each workspace has its own members, roles and permissions, keeping the activity of different groups and organisations separate. This is supported by European servers operating to high security standards and within the European data protection framework.

01
Independent workspace

Projects, papers, theses, tasks, notes and other activity remain linked to the team’s own workspace.

02
Individual access

Each member signs in through their own authenticated account. Access to a workspace depends on membership of that team.

03
Roles and permissions

Access levels allow participation to reflect each member’s actual responsibilities within the research team.

Servers and security

European infrastructure with recognised security standards

KaiperKit is hosted on infrastructure provided by European providers certified to ISO/IEC 27001:2022 and operating within the European data protection framework.

Security measures include 24/7 monitoring, firewall protection, anti-malware systems, continuous vulnerability analysis and regular backups, among other safeguards designed to help protect the information managed by the platform.

In practice

  • KaiperKit operates on independent servers.
  • Servers operate within the European data protection framework.
  • Network protections include firewall controls and DDoS mitigation.
  • Communications are protected through HTTPS.
  • Access is private and requires authenticated user accounts.
  • Regular backups are performed to support recovery when needed.
Frequently asked questions

Common questions about security.

These are some of the questions we are most frequently asked about KaiperKit security. If you still have any questions after reading them, you can contact us at info@kaiperkit.com and we will respond within 24 hours.

Each workspace operates as an independent environment with its own members and access controls. Being a KaiperKit user does not provide access to the workspaces of other teams or organisations.

Members are managed within the workspace itself. KaiperKit provides different levels of access and permissions so each person’s participation can reflect their responsibilities within the team.

No. KaiperKit uses platform roles and assignments. Owner, Admin, Editor, Collaborator and Viewer have different capabilities. For Collaborators, access to core research entities can also depend on the corresponding active assignments.

Yes. KaiperKit distinguishes between members, roles and assignments, allowing a collaborator to participate in the activities relevant to them without requiring the same level of access as the people responsible for the workspace.

KaiperKit does not use your information for purposes unrelated to the proper operation of the platform and its role as a research management system.

KaiperKit uses your organisation’s information only to provide, maintain and protect the service. This includes organising information within the workspace, applying access permissions, enabling authorised members to work together and ensuring the proper operation and security of the platform. The information remains under your organisation’s control.

KaiperKit organises document references through external links. The original file remains in the repository or storage service selected by your team, while KaiperKit retains its reference, context and connections within the research activity.

KaiperKit runs on European servers. Our infrastructure provider applies server protection measures, firewall controls, DDoS protection, monitoring, and backup and recovery mechanisms for its VPS infrastructure, within the European data protection framework.

Yes. The infrastructure supporting KaiperKit includes backup and recovery mechanisms designed to reduce the risk of information loss and support restoration of the service in the event of an incident.

Your information remains under your organisation’s control. In institutional contexts, retention, return or deletion conditions can be clearly defined as part of the relevant relationship with the institution.

If workspaces are deleted, their information will be removed from KaiperKit. If you require a retention period, you can let us know and we can retain the data for an agreed and reasonable period.

Yes. We can review how workspaces, members, roles, permissions, infrastructure and information handling work with your team before a broader institutional adoption.
