Q?
Is my data safe with iPracticeForms?
-
A.
Yes! When adding a Single Line Text to your form, you will notice that one of the Options is Encrypted. To understand why you would need an encrypted field, a brief overview of security is in order.
- SSL is a standard security feature on all iPracticeForms plans and ensures that the transmission of data to and from is secure.
- Likewise, our hardware level security protects the data from someone trying to connect directly to us to read it.
- But there is a third case: What if somehow the data were to leak out? Encryption protects against this event by making the data unreadable by humans.
Encrypted data can only be read by a machine with a specific key and password that we keep hidden and protected, so if the data were to be compromised it could not be read. That sounds great, so why don’t we encrypt all data? Well, it isn’t quite feasible to do so due to the resources involved. Additionally, the following limitations are in place within our system that applies to encrypted fields:
- Encryption is available on the Bona Fide plan and higher.
- You are allowed a maximum of 5 encrypted fields per form.
- Encryption must be set when you create a field — it cannot be added or removed later.
- They are NOT sent in notification emails (because emails are not secure).
- They CANNOT be searched/filtered in the Entry Manager — only viewed.
Based on these limitations, it is important for you to decide which fields deserve encryption. An example of a field deserving encryption would be Student ID. A Student ID is a unique identifier that you do not want stolen. A good rule is that if it is unique and can encourage fraud, then the field probably deserves encryption.
