Support - FAQs - Security

What about security? How safe is our data?

Quality Systems Toolbox uses 256-bit SSL encryption for all customer sites. SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) is the standard security technology for establishing an encrypted link between a web server and a browser. This link ensures that all data passed between the web server and browsers remain private and integral. SSL is an industry standard and is used by millions of websites in the protection of their online transactions with their customers.

To be able to create an SSL connection a web server requires an SSL Certificate. We purchase SSL certificates for all of our customer sites from Comodo, a reputable and experienced provider of SSL products.

Who has access to my Quality Systems Toolbox site?

Each of our clients gets a unique Quality Systems Toolbox site. When you sign up you will usually nominate an administrative contact - this person will then be able to create user accounts for each of your users. Anyone who does not have either a user or administrative account will not be able to view any content contained within your site.

Can my suppliers or customers access my Quality Systems Toolbox?

Quality Systems Toolbox is an secure members only site and is not meant to be your public website.

It was designed to be used internally by your employees to securely share your organisational information -  particularly information related to running a very visible and accessible compliance management system.

That said, you may create user accounts and give them to whoever you choose, provided you take responsibility for the actions of all your users (see Terms of Service).
