Why SciChart

icon

What is the expected lifecyle of a SciChart release, and how long will it be supported?

The expected lifecycle is the same as the relevant frameworks on which the various platforms are built (such as.net for WPF). Note that updates and fixes are generally applied to the latest SciChart version only. Notices of end of support are posted at SciChart News and emailed to activated developers.

Does SciChart rely on third party dependencies and how are these managed?

SciChart uses minimal 3rd party dependencies. The full list is available on request. These are packaged within the SciChart libraries and do not need to be managed separately by the customer or end user. We monitor the relevant channels for all our dependencies and integrate security updates immediately, and other updates as appropriate.
icon

How are SciChart patches or updates applied?

All SciChart updates are delivered as full versions. Instructions for downloading and integrating the latest version are in the documentation. The recommended way to get SciChart is via a package management system (such as NuGet for WPF) which tells you if updates are available.
icon

How frequently is SciChart updated, and are security patches included?

SciChart releases major updates annually and minor updates quarterly, with nightly builds available for early adopters. Security patches are included in updates as soon as they are available and can be accessed through secure package management systems like NuGet, npm, Maven and Swift package managers. As well as updating releases annually and quarterly, we publish critical hotfixes within days.

Can SciChart be used in healthcare, government, or finance applications requiring strict security compliance?

Yes, SciChart is ideal for use in highly regulated industries. It integrates seamlessly into applications that need to comply with regulations like HIPAA (healthcare), FISMA (government), and GDPR (finance), with its minimal security cross-section ensuring secure operation. SciChart is actively in use by NATO allies, Aerospace, Finance and leading healthcare platforms used by millions of people globally. Upon request, we can provide completely air-gapped licensing, source code provision as well as accommodate Government Purpose Rights.
icon

How does SciChart handle vulnerabilities or security issues?

SciChart conducts regular code reviews, automated and manual testing, and uses scanning tools to identify vulnerabilities. In the event of a significant security issue, we notify affected users via email and publish updates promptly on the latest releases and changelogs.
icon

How does SciChart ensure compliance with global security standards like GDPR, HIPAA, and FISMA?

SciChart adheres to best practices in secure software development, including secure coding, rigorous testing, and vulnerability management. While it does not handle sensitive data directly, SciChart operates within secure environments like Azure which are ISO 27001, SOC 1 and SOC 2/SSA, Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX), PCI Level 1, and FISMA Moderate compliant and can provide robust documentation to assist with compliance requirements.
icon

Does SciChart store or process sensitive data like user credentials or medical information?

No, SciChart does not store, process, or transmit sensitive data. The library only renders data provided by the host application, ensuring that data handling and storage remain entirely within your control.

Without doubt, the best charting library I have ever used. The examples suite is comprehensive to easily get you started coding on a new project. The sales & technical support staff are always responsible and eager to help. Chart customisation is extensive and rendering speed is quick.

This is an incredible product. First it's the best chart I've had customers compliment how great the charting parts of our application look/behave. I couldn't recommend this product anymore than I already do. SciChart really hit the mark. I wish all software products could be this easy to use and be so productive (not to mention blazing fast).

We have been coding Technical Analysis software for 16 years and during that time have tried most charting modules on the market. SciChart is by far the best, not only for features, speed and reliability, but their support has been above and beyond anything else we’ve experienced.

SciChart is flexible and reliable, just the component we need. We try to tweak the look and feel of the graphs to some extremes, all made possible by SciChart. Support is fast, not just a standard reply but usually a useful answer within a day. For more complex requests they really work with you to get it working.
