Data Security
A sustainability platform contains a large amount of data that can be considered sensitive. Whether the issues are employee injury and incident data (HIPPA, Global Data Privacy Rules), energy data, or regulatory compliance and auditing data, your platform must have comprehensive security capabilities.
Capabilities
- User Security - The platform must have the ability to control the data available to various types of users based on their application security profile. Users must be authenticated and authorized to manage information that only they are responsible for with the capability to audit user actions as necessary.
- Application Security - A growing area of risk to corporations is the potential insecurity of the web applications they may be using as part of their overall information management strategy. To minimize this risk and provide continual application security with each new release, ESS follows industry standard guidelines on secure software development. ESS tests for application security as part of the overall testing process with each new release.
- Database Security – Using a multi-level approach to data security, ESS secures data in the database using strong encryption where applicable. ESS recognizes through its global customers that database security regulations vary throughout the world and works with these customers to meet their requirements.
