Overview
From end to end, our processes and systems keep your data secure and maintain a track record of zero breaches or loss of data. The BoostTalent platform consists of three key elements: a lightweight data connector, a data platform, and a web portal. All three elements are hosted in a secure cloud infrastructure.
All data collection happens securely over SSL using REST APIs. The lightweight data connector connects to your ticketing system of record using the authentication token that you provide us.
No credentials are shared – you maintain complete control over what and how much data is exposed. Access is maintained in your own VPC instance using self-service OAuth.
Compliance
Security can never be technology alone. All employees and contractors are trained using comprehensive security awareness programs. Every BoostTalent employee is committed to ensuring that the data we analyze within our systems is protected in the highest regard.
SOC 2 Type II certification and GDPR compliance ensure that our policies and procedures meet your security expectations. We regularly conduct both internal and external audits and penetration tests, with complete results available by request.
Data privacy and security protocols conform to the HIPAA Security, Privacy, and Breach Notification Rules and are designed to meet your HIPAA compliance requirements.
