nKind partners with Microsoft Azure for hosting your nKind-powered website in the cloud. Cloud-hosting provides the benefit of "right-sizing" to your hosting needs. We will work with you in understanding your traffic and needs and guide you to the correctly sized instance to ensure your constituents consistently have an optimal experience on your web sites and mobile applications.

We are pleased to offer uptime guarantees as follows:

Monthly Uptime Percentage: The Monthly Uptime Percentage is calculated using the following formula:

Monthly Uptime % = (Maximum Available Minutes-Downtime)/(Maximum Available Minutes) x 100

Azure meets a broad set of international and industry-specific compliance standards, such as ISO 27001, HIPAA, FedRAMP, SOC 1 and SOC 2, as well as country-specific standards like Australia IRAP, UK G-Cloud, and Singapore MTCS. Rigorous third-party audits, such as by the British Standards Institute, verify Azure’s adherence to the strict security controls these standards mandate.
