Technology

Secure bubble technology is mostly
used by researchers and data scientists to produce
data analysis.
More recently, with the GDPR
and the various CNIL security standards,
the uses of data are developing in
secure and certified environments for
production of data.

The Bubble is a Full Datalab « turnkey »,
with sufficient power and reference software
in a friendly environment,
forming a tight set of secure servers

SD-BOX secures the data access
via the central CASD infrastructure and the users
work environment by integrating end-to-end
the most demanding certification requirements
of the access station (ISO 27001, ISO 27701, certification
