The security of your EHS Data is a top priority

The EHS-Dashboard™ team is committed to the security of our clients Environmental, Health and
Safety data and personal information. Below is a summary of the security measures being taken by
our team in addition to our hosting provider to ensure our clients data is protected.

Security Summary

Cloud-based Hosting

The EHS-Dashboard™ is hosted by Amazon Web Services (AWS) Cloud infrastructure. AWS Cloud infrastructure meets the requirements of an
extensive list of global security standards, including: ISO 27001, SOC, the PCI Data Security Standard, FedRAMP, the Australian Signals Directorate (ASD) Information Security Manual, and the Singapore Multi-Tier Cloud Security
Standard(MTCS SS 584).For more information about the security regulations and standards with which AWS complies, see the AWS Compliance webpage.
The AWS cloud infrastructure has been architected to be one of the most flexible and secure cloud computing environmental available today. Some of the benefits behind the AWS Security include:
  • being housed in AWS’s data centers providing
    strong safeguards in place regarding customer
    privacy and segregation
  • protected by extensive network and security
    monitoring systems
  • data centers in multiple geographic regions to
    offer maximum resiliency against system
    outages, with significant excess bandwidth
    connections
  • data is being continuously backed up to
    prevent any interruptions due to server outages
As an additional benefit AWS Cloud infrastructure provides redundant application servers as well as database servers to prevent any service interruptions due to hardware failure. For more information on the AWS Cloud infrastructure security please visit https://aws.amazon.com/security/.
 

Application Layer

The EHS-Dashboard™ is built on Ruby on Rails (RoR). RoR is a widely used application framework due to its stability, performance and security features. In addition to the security features provided by the rails framework by default, the EHS-Dashboard™ is designed and developed in conformance with industry standard security measures to protect all user information and known web application vulnerabilities. The EHS-Dashboard™ team is constantly auditing the
systems security and working to improve the security as new vulnerabilities are discovered. For more information on the Ruby on Rails framework and the security considerations that were taken into the development of the EHS-Dashboard™ please visit http://guides.rubyonrails.org/security.html.
 

Secure Sockets Layer (SSL)

The EHS-Dashboard™utilizes a Digitally Verified SSL Certificate for all requests. This certificate provides 256-bit encryption for all client information that is exchanged over the HTTPS Protocol.
