Censo provides multiple layers of security to help protect client data.

Application Access

Organisations are able to control who has access to their data, and the permissions levels they grant. Access provided to users outside the organisation can be granted and revoked by administrators using a multi-tiered system requiring both Collaborations and Project by Project Access.

User Authentication

Censo implements the OAuth 2.0 OpenID Connect specification for user authentication. Users must confirm their email address and may login with a username and password. Users can optionally choose to implement Two Factor Authentication (2FA) which will work with 2FA apps using Time-based One-time Password Algorithm (TOTP). ‘Google Authenticator’ is a typical example of a smart-phone app that can be used with Censo.

Users can add Two Factor Authentication from their profile.

Data Hosting

All data between you and Censo uses industry standard TLS (Transport Layer Security). Data at rest is encrypted using Transparent Data Encryption (TDE). Data access is tightly controlled through firewall rules and authentication mechanisms. Censo hosts data with enterprise-grade hosting facilities that employ state-of-the-art physical security and provide data replication.
