Data Protection - Data Integrity

In General

The more sensitive data gets, the more important the requirement to provide a serious data protection system will become. Vertinex protects your archived data professionally from unauthorized insight.  Beside the distinguished access concept, Vertinex offers data protection with a 512-bit- SSL- data encryption (even longer encryption keys possible) and a SQL-data base with 4D programming environment.
Our 4D-SQL data base with its spectacular access security system is holding a very particular position here.  It is secured against any intrusion (for example against SQL-statements). Stored data cannot be read by using SQL-statements. This means an utmost security set-up for your sensitive data.

Another very fundamental advantage is the encryption executed field-by-field.  You define which sectors are to be encrypted (for example only areas with medical content). In comparison to other encryption mechanisms, this saves system resources and clearly reduces response time. It goes without saying that a data transfer between server and clients can also be encrypted.

Key features data protection & data security: Encrypted data storage – encrypted data transfer between client and server - automated backup – integrated log file – self initiated restoration of data base upon system fail – history function

Data Security

The regular data protection by back up is an unavoidable component of reasonable data maintenance. With Vertinex programs this back up operation can be implemented as an automatically adjusted option. You can arrange frequency and timing of the back up execution.

Furthermore, the number of the back up sets can also be configured by the user.
An eventual electrical power outage could provoke a system fail even between two back up executions. Thanks to Vertinex having integrated the log file, modified data is separately stored, also between individual back ups. As a particular show stopper, Vertinex offers an automated data restoration (just in case of an improbable incident of an electrical power outage) taken out of the last back up execution with integration of the log file data. All stored data is rapidly put at your disposal again.

Data storage

Vertinex systems principally store fragmented data on the hard drive. Hereby, a first protection step is already taken to prevent unauthorized insight by circumventing the Vertinex software.

However, this protection would not be safe enough when being confronted with a targeted hacker attack. This is where a special encryption technology is applied to protect at least those data with medical content.
For this objective, Vertinex makes use of a 512-bit- SSL- data encryption (even longer encryption keys possible). The key is integrated into the data base. Upon request – for utmost security – the key can be externally stored onto an external storage device such as USB sticks etc. In this case, a data decryption would only be possible when having the external storage device on hand. The history file, of course, is also subject to be encrypted.

Access concept

To secure a distinguished and sensible placement of access rights, the reading-, writing-, initializing-, deleting- and printing rights are separately allocated.
In order to efficiently/rapidly implement these necessary guidelines for the administration of the Vertinex systems, the program administrator may make use of the differently adjustable user profiles (called ‘roles’). These roles can, of course, be modified at any time.  Furthermore, a user - assigned to a certain role - can obtain another access right, even if this is not included within her/his role. Distinguished password principles complete the access concept and facilitate a high performance security system from the very beginning. During operation processes all modifications at the data set are being constantly reported within a history file.  

Access via single-sign-on is already feasible and access via company ID System (for example by inserting the company ID card etc).
