Covarage

Security

How we keep your records safe. Your policies, your people and their personal details, protected at every step.

Signing in

  • Everyone signs in with a second factor, an authenticator app. Without it, the database refuses the request.
  • Signed out means signed out: an ended session stops on its next request.
  • You can see the devices you are signed in on, and end any of them.
  • On Enterprise, your people sign in through your own identity provider.

Who sees what

  • Every record is guarded by the database's own access rules, so each person sees only what their role allows.
  • Every access rule is tested automatically on every change to the platform.

Medical details

  • Medical details are read only by the person they belong to and our medical concierge team. Never by their employer, its HR or a broker.

Documents

  • Documents are kept in private storage. Each opens through a link that lasts a minute or two, issued only after we check you may see it.

Encryption

  • Your records and documents are encrypted in transit and at rest. Identity numbers are encrypted a second time, by Covarage, inside the database.

A record of every change

  • Every change our team makes to your records is logged: who made it, what changed and when. When our team opens someone's personal details, that is logged too.
  • The log has no time limit, and no one can edit it through the platform.

Changes to the platform

  • Every change is checked automatically before release. A change to the database is reviewed and tested on a copy first.

Backups

  • The database is backed up every day, and a separate full copy of every record and file is taken and kept outside the platform.

If something goes wrong

  • We have a written incident response plan, and a personal data breach plan under Singapore's Personal Data Protection Act.

Where your data is held

  • Your records, your documents and the platform's servers are in Singapore, and our emails are sent from Singapore.
  • WhatsApp and SMS messages pass through our messaging provider's United States region.
  • Our hosting provider may process operational data, such as logs, in the United States.
  • On Enterprise, your group can have a private instance in a region it chooses, or run Covarage on its own servers.
