In project management and construction applications, data security is crucial, especially for sensitive information such as floor plans and blueprints.This is especially important for projects that demand strict security protocols. Ed Controls has recognized this need and developed SecurEd, a version of their platform with an even higher level of data security.
What is SecurEd?
SecurEd offers all the functionalities of Ed Controls while meeting the highest levels of data security required for certain projects. The platform enables you to manage all your project information securely and efficiently, while all data stays on a dedicated server at a location of your choice, fully isolated from the cloud and the internet.
Why security is crucial in project management
In the construction sector, it is not just about physical structures, the digital data shared and stored is equally important. This includes:
-
Project drawings and blueprints: Essential designs that determine the success and progress of a project.
-
Communication and inspection reports: Confidential information exchanged between stakeholders.
-
User data: Personal information of clients and contractors, where privacy and confidentiality are paramount.
This is why
Ed Controls has decided to add an extra layer of security with their SecurEd product. Critical information is stored on a dedicated server at a location of your choice, with no connection to the cloud or the internet. This gives you, as the client, more direct and proactive control over your own data. Your internal processes can prevent potential costs, reputational damage, and legal issues associated with data breaches.
Who is SecurEd designed for?
SecurEd is ideal for clients operating in sectors where data security must meet the highest standards, such as:
Defense projects
For defense-related projects, data security is critical due to the strategic and often confidential nature of the information. SecurEd protects sensitive data by keeping all information on a fully isolated server, so it stays in your own hands and out of reach of outside parties.
Construction sites without internet access
On construction sites where internet connections are often unavailable or undesirable, SecurEd provides the perfect solution. The software can operate entirely offline, keeping all data secure without relying on external networks. Updates can be performed via wired or wireless connections, adding an extra layer of security. This ensures that project data remains safe and accessible, even in remote areas.
Oil platform projects
Oil platforms are often located in remote areas with limited internet access. SecurEd is designed to function effectively under these conditions by utilizing local servers and secure hardware. This ensures that all project information is safe and reliable, even in challenging environments.
Government projects
Government projects, such as courthouses, government buildings, prisons, and military infrastructure, require strong protection for sensitive information. Platforms like SecurEd, which operate with local servers without internet access, ensure that data is safeguarded against external threats.
How SecurEd works
SecurEd is the stand-alone version of Ed Controls, deployed fully on premises:
-
Dedicated server: Ed Controls provides a dedicated server that runs the complete platform, with all Ed Controls functionality.
-
Location of your choice: The server is placed at any location you choose, so your project data stays exactly where you want it.
-
Fully isolated: The environment is air-gapped, with no cloud, no external connections, no remote access and no need for an internet connection. This is useful for high-security environments or locations with limited internet access.
This gives you full control over your data, maximum security and complete independence from external networks.
