Security

Requio is built with security at its core. This page describes how we protect your data and maintain the integrity of our platform.

Overview

  • Requio Ltd takes the security of your data seriously. This page outlines the technical and organisational measures we implement to protect the Requio platform and your information.

Encryption

  • Data in transit: All traffic between your browser and our services is encrypted using TLS 1.2 or higher. We enforce HTTPS for all connections.
  • Data at rest: Customer data stored in our systems is encrypted at rest using industry-standard encryption (AES-256).
  • File storage: Documents and attachments uploaded to Requio are stored in encrypted form in our cloud storage.

Authentication and Access Controls

  • User authentication: Access to the platform requires secure login with email and password. Passwords are hashed using industry-standard algorithms and are never stored in plain text.
  • Session management: Sessions are managed securely with appropriate timeouts. Users can be required to re-authenticate for sensitive operations.
  • Role-based access: Access to projects, DRPs, and features is controlled by role-based permissions (Lead BA, BA, Product Owner, External). Users only see data they are authorised to access.
  • Multi-tenancy: Tenant isolation ensures that data from one organisation is never accessible to another.

Data Handling

  • We process and store data only as necessary to provide the Services and as described in our Privacy Policy.
  • Customer data is logically segregated by tenant. Access to production data is restricted to authorised personnel and only for operational or support purposes.
  • We retain data in accordance with our data retention policy and applicable legal requirements. Deleted data is purged in a secure manner.

Infrastructure Security

  • Hosting: Requio is hosted on AWS (Amazon Web Services), which provides enterprise-grade security, compliance certifications, and physical security for data centres.
  • Network security: Our infrastructure is protected by firewalls, network segmentation, and intrusion detection measures.
  • Updates and patching: We apply security updates and patches to our systems in a timely manner.
  • Monitoring: We monitor our systems for suspicious activity and maintain logs for security and audit purposes.

Compliance

  • We design our systems and processes with data protection in mind, including alignment with UK GDPR and EU GDPR principles.
  • We work with customers to support their compliance requirements. For specific compliance questions or documentation requests, please contact us at contact@requio.co.uk.

Incident Response

  • We maintain procedures to detect, assess, and respond to security incidents. In the event of a data breach affecting your data, we will notify affected parties and relevant authorities as required by law.

Your Responsibilities

  • You are responsible for maintaining the security of your account credentials and for the actions of users you invite to the platform.
  • You should use strong passwords and avoid sharing login details. Report any suspected security issues to contact@requio.co.uk.
