Security

Thus Researchvideo is a valid choise even for sensitive material containing personal data.

The following measures, among others, have been taken to ensure data security:

  • A dedicated, separate and efficient server environment for research purposes
  • All data is stored on JYU servers
  • All software code (e.g. AI processing for transcription) runs on JYU servers
  • Files are encrypted at rest
  • Rights management goes through a well-defined process
  • Admin rights only to handful of known people
  • All rights and content have a defined lifecycle
  • As a content management system, Plone is very secure
  • The system is designed to be very user friendly to reduce human errors
  • The guidance and support model is clear
  • Researchvideo has been security audited by an external expert organisation in late 2023 and the minor findings that were found have been fixed in early 2024.
