Application Security

Practice Domain

Dedicated Security Team

Our global Security Team is on call 24/7 to respond to security alerts and events.

Protection

Our network is protected through the use of key AWS security services, regular audits, and network intelligence technologies which monitor and/or block malicious traffic and network attacks.

Architecture

Our network security architecture consists of multiple security zones. More sensitive systems, like database servers, are protected in our most trusted zones. Other systems are housed in zones commensurate with their sensitivity, depending on function, information classification, and risk. Depending on the zone, additional security monitoring and access controls will apply.

Network vulnerability scanning

Network security scanning gives us deep insight for quick identification of out-of-compliance or potentially vulnerable systems.

Vulnerability testing

MRI OnLocation.com tests all code for security vulnerabilities before release and regularly scans our network and systems for vulnerabilities. Third-party assessments are also conducted regularly:

  • Application vulnerability threat assessments
  • Network vulnerability threat assessments
  • Selected penetration testing and code review
  • Security control framework review and testing

Product Security Features

Domain Practice

User authentication

Customers can enable native MRI OnLocation authentication, or Single sign-on (SSO).

Native authentication passwords

MRI OnLocation recommends strong password use. We offer three levels of Password

  • Simple: minimum of 6 characters;
  • Standard: (the default) minimum of 6 characters; combination of uppercase and lower case letters;
  • Complex: (recommended) minimum of 8 characters, combination of uppercase and
    lower case letters; mixed with at least one number and one symbol (!, @, #, $, for example).

Password reset

Best Practice and security auditors recommend that to meet the minimum for compliance, with standards like OWASP, HIPAA, and Sarbanes-Oxley passwords should be changed every 45 to 90 days and should be different every time.

The default setting is 'Do not force change'.

Multiple concurrent logins management

Enabling this option allows a single user to log in from more than one location at the same time. Disabling this option will automatically log out any prior sessions when a user logs in.

Role-based access controls

Access to data within MRI OnLocation is governed by role-based access control (RBAC) and can be configured to define granular access privileges. MRI OnLocation has various permission levels for users (owner, admin, reception, employee, service providers, end-user, etc.).

California Consumer Privacy Act

About MRI OnLocation and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA)

“The CCPA came into force on 1 January 2020 (called the “compliance date”), the Californian Attorney General won’t start enforcing it until 1 July 2020 (“enforcement date”). One of the key elements of the CCPA, amongst others, is that it focuses on transparency obligations and on provisions that limit the selling of personal information, requiring a “Do Not Sell My Personal Information” link to be included by businesses on their homepage.

Does CCPA apply to MRI OnLocation?

MRI OnLocation does not “sell” customer’s personal information, meaning that we also do not rent, disclose, release, transfer, make available or otherwise communicate that personal information to a third party for monetary or other valuable consideration.

MRI OnLocation also adheres to the highest standards for the capture, processing, and management of personally identifiable information and this includes NEVER sharing ANY information we capture from our customers or their ‘data subjects’; employees, contractors and/or visitors. To read our full privacy policy, click here.

Because MRI OnLocation does not fall within any of the thresholds specified under the CCPA that determines whether or not we would be required to comply, the CCPA does not apply to MRI OnLocation today, however; we wanted to assure you that MRI OnLocation does take data privacy extremely seriously.

Our privacy commitment

We have designed our systems and adopted standard operating procedures to ensure we are compliant with the General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR). GDPR came into effect on 25 May 2018 and is one of the most comprehensive data protection laws in the world to date. We also undertake external auditing against our information security management systems and are ISO27001: 2013 certified. To review our full security statement, click here.

Ongoing monitoring

We will continue to review and monitor our adherence to CCPA and should our circumstances change we will take the necessary steps to adhere.
