Insight Terra Platform Overview

Insight Terra is a secure, cloud-native platform for real-time environmental and infrastructure risk monitoring. Built on AWS, it ingests data from Industrial IoT devices, satellites, manual inputs, and third-party APIs, transforming it into actionable insights through advanced analytics, visualisation, and alerting tools.

How the Platform Works

  • Data ingestion from Industrial IoT, satellites, manual inputs, and third-party APIs
  • Data harmonisation and analytics engine for operational intelligence
  • Rules & Alerts Engine for real-time monitoring
  • Visualisation dashboards for environmental and infrastructure insights
  • API Gateway as the sole entry point for platform access

Security & Compliance

Insight Terra ensures robust data protection through:

  • End-to-end encryption (AES-256 at rest, TLS 1.2/1.3 in transit)
  • Role-based access control (RBAC), MFA, and federated SSO
  • Zero Trust architecture and secure APIs
  • Full audit logging and continuous threat monitoring
  • Compliance with ISO 27001, GDPR, OWASP 4.0, CIS, and POPIA
  • Secure data retention, deletion, and sovereignty controls

Edge to Cloud - How it works

Data from many Edge-based sources is collected
from the local gateway.
Data is cleaned, normalized, compressed and encoded
for transmission to the cloud.
Data is checked against valid data ranges
and only then processed.
Valid raw data is enriched and converted into derived metrics and compared against threshold levels.
All data is contextualized and visualized to provide
meaningful insights.
