Hosting

Hosted in Germany.

The winplan 2.0 servers are hosted at internet service provider Ecotel’s DIN ISO/IEC 27001-certified data centre in Frankfurt am Main. A second data centre provides geographic redundancy to protect availability, integrity and confidentiality.

NetzWerkPlan manages the servers itself, and your project data remains in Germany.

Data centre standard

  • Certified to DIN ISO/IEC 27001
  • Redundant connection with a direct link to the DE-CIX internet exchange
  • Controlled access following registration and authentication
  • Technicians present 24 hours a day
  • Fire alarm and extinguishing system
  • Emergency power generator and uninterruptible power supply

Certification

ISO 27001 certification for information security.

NetzWerkPlan GmbH is certified to the international standard DIN ISO/IEC 27001. This provides a basis for clients who need to assess their suppliers or specify ISO 27001 in a tender, including public clients (in German).

Data protection

GDPR-compliant: construction software for sensitive project data.

Data protection is built into how winplan is operated, with German hosting, role-based access, encrypted data transfer and an audit trail. winplan is designed to meet GDPR requirements for projects that need strong data protection and documentation.

We discuss the legal arrangements, including data processing agreements, with you before your project starts.

Data protection measures

  • Project data in Germany
  • Role-based access to project areas
  • SSL/TLS encryption (TLS 1.2 and 1.3)
  • Encryption of all file path details
  • Encrypted and redundant data storage

Operations

Servers, network and availability.

The servers administered by NetzWerkPlan are designed for reliability and protection against attacks.

Redundant infrastructure

Modern servers use redundant components, and customer and project data is stored in encrypted, redundant storage.

Monitoring around the clock

Servers are monitored around the clock at 60-second intervals, with alerts sent immediately through several channels. Server availability is 99.9%, excluding planned maintenance.

Network security

Firewall, IP filters, port scan detection, DoS and DDoS protection, network segmentation, IDS/IPS and IP allow-listing. Updates to the operating system and security-relevant software are checked daily.

Roles, permissions and audit trail

Know who has access and what has changed.

Each project participant is assigned a role and can see only the areas intended for them. You can also share selected plans and documents as packages.

All actions and processes are recorded without gaps, and no information is deleted. Once meeting minutes are completed, they are generated as PDFs that cannot subsequently be changed. This provides a clear record if questions arise about revisions or processes.

  • Detailed permissions management per participant and role
  • Access with username and password, password policies configurable per company
  • Optional two-factor authentication and single sign-on
  • Version and status tracking for plans and documents

Access based on role and project area.

Every action remains traceable.

Backup & archiving

Daily backups with geographic redundancy.

Data is backed up daily to distributed hard drives. Servers and backups are also available at a geographically separate data centre. On request, a daily backup (run-time archive) can be made to a server belonging to the client.

How backups work

  • Daily backup to distributed hard drives
  • Redundant servers and backup in a geo-redundant data centre
  • Optional: daily run-time archiving to a client’s server

Application security

Regular testing, including independent penetration tests.

The application is regularly checked for vulnerabilities using a range of analysis tools. These checks cover issues such as XSS, insecure cookie handling (HttpOnly and Secure attributes), missing X-Frame headers, autocomplete on sensitive fields and insecure input encoding. External security companies also carry out regular penetration tests.
