Data security is critical for most businesses. The loss of sensitive information such as employee data or personal files due to hackers or malware can have potentially disastrous consequences if it falls into the wrong hands.
In 2012 Ovation achieved certification for ISO 27001. This internationally recognised standard governs the best practices of information management and security systems. The accreditation not only demonstrates our commitment to ensuring data security, it also means the following:
To counter the rising threat to data security, most organisations have implemented stronger and more robust security policies. This includes the use of stronger and more secure passwords, i.e. contain a combination of uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and non-alphanumeric characters.
According to Gartner, up to 50% of all customer service enquiries are just requests for password resets. Single sign-on (SSO) is a session/user authentication process that permits a user to enter one name and password in order to access multiple applications such as Encore without sacrificing security.
Encore, our employee recognition platform has been designed from the ground up to be simply integrated to any client HR systems such as SAP, Oracle and SharePoint.
Integration with HR systems enables Encore to know when a new starter has begun their employment or when an employee’s tenure has ended, for either automatic enrolment or exclusion. In this way an organisations employee hierarchy structure is also available to enable a validation process for rewards issued and manager budgets.
A Private cloud infrastructure is a distinct and secure cloud based environment which can only be accessed by a specified organisation. The additional security offered by this ring fenced cloud model is ideal for enterprise organisations that require full control over sensitive data.
A Private cloud infrastructure restricts access behind a client firewall to ensure that all sensitive data is kept out of the reach of unwanted prying eyes.
Private clouds are only accessible by a nominated organisation. This enables Encore to be implemented whilst ensuring control meets client needs.
Private cloud models are more efficient than traditional LANs. This provides a cost saving whilst reducing an organisation’s carbon footprint.
The creation of virtualised operating environments such as a private cloud infrastructure ensures that networks are more resilient to failures.
