Compliance Navigator^® Security and Encryption

Compliance Navigator provides high levels of security for your data and documents through encryption, password protection, and permissions.

Document Encryption and Password Protection

Compliance Navigator includes document management capabilities that allow you to embed documents in a Compliance Navigator database, link documents to other data, and maintain version control with document check-in/out.

To provide additional security, Compliance Navigator allows you to encrypt embedded documents with encryption technology that meets the requirements of government document processing.  Compliance Navigator uses the Microsoft Windows® Encryption System (Crypto API) to provide encryption support, with the following algorithms:

• RC2 Block
• RC4 Stream
• DES
• Triple DES*
• Triple DES 128 bit key*

*Requires Microsoft Enhanced Cryptographic Provider installed on Windows® for both encryption and decryption.

Compliance Navigator also allows you to password protect each individual document embedded in a Compliance Navigator database.  Each document supports a password to open the document, and another password to check-out the document or change its security settings.  Compliance Navigator also maintains a log of users accessing individual documents.

User Permissions

With Compliance Navigator, you can control how much access each user has to different areas of the database.  Individual users can be assigned separate access permissions to tasks, audits/findings, and issues/actions.  For each portion, users can be assigned read-only permission, read/write permission, or read/write/delete permission.  You can also allow or disallow web-access for a user.
