SecurEd: The future of secure construction software
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, with data storage taking place in a secure online or offline location of your choice.
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 in an online or offline location of your choice. 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 offers various options to protect sensitive data, including keeping information within the organization and shielding it from unauthorized 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.
Options
When choosing to implement SecurEd, there are several options for hosting and managing data:
Hosting in a private data center: Data is stored in an environment of your choice, accessible via a personalized domain such as clientname.edcontrols.com. This provides control over the location and security of the data.
Private cloud: Projects are hosted in a private cloud on a dedicated server of your choice. This ensures physical separation of data from other users, with the option to use a custom domain, such as .
Stand-alone version: This option allows Ed Controls to be used in a completely independent environment, with its own server and no need for an internet connection. This is useful for high-security environments or locations with limited internet access.
Each of these options offers varying levels of control, security, and independence, allowing you to choose the best fit for your specific needs and infrastructure.
