During proctoring, all sorts of data are regularly exchanged and processed, including sensitive data. The security of data storage and transmission is an important issue for our customers and us. Our reputation depends on how strictly we follow data security standards.
From the very beginning, we take a systematic approach to ensure data confidentiality. For example, confidential information is only accessed by a strictly limited number of people, such as customer staff, Examus proctors, and technical support. The data storage period is specified in the contract. Usually, it lasts from two weeks to three months; however, the terms can be changed upon the customer's request.
From a legal point of view, Examus is fully compliant with the
GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation). We have a clearly defined privacy policy that explains to our users what data we store and process.
From a technical point of view, we also aim for maximum security. For data storage, we use only trusted cloud platforms, such as Google Cloud, AWS (Amazon Web Services), and Microsoft Cloud. At the clients' request, all confidential information can also be stored on their physical server. Regardless of the storage type, all data is transmitted only over an encrypted channel created with SSL certificates, and the interface is accessed only over HTTPS protocol.
