Security

Your designs are your business. We treat them that way.

Moving CAD data to the cloud is a big decision. Here's exactly how Kenesto protects it, and how you stay in control of who sees what.

Encryption

Your files are protected with AES-256 encryption, the industry-standard algorithm used for sensitive data.

Built on AWS

Kenesto runs on Amazon Web Services infrastructure (S3 storage and EC2 compute), the same cloud trusted by many of the world's largest companies.

Backup & disaster recovery

Backup and disaster-recovery protocols are part of the service, so you don't have to run your own backups the way you do with an on-premises server.

Single sign-on

Sign in with your company's Microsoft Azure (Entra ID) accounts, so access follows your existing user management.

Multi-factor authentication

Add a second factor at sign-in so a stolen password isn't enough to reach your data.

Granular permissions

Decide per person or group who can view, download, update, create, delete or share each file and folder. Set expiry dates and revoke access instantly.

Control that goes beyond a shared drive

  • Share a folder, not your system. External partners see only what you share with them.
  • Know who has access. Every document shows who can view, download, update or share it.
  • Lock production files. Freeze a finished document so nobody can change it.
  • Full history. Every version records who saved it and when.
  • No VPN to maintain. Remote users connect securely without opening your office network.
