Security is the first design parameter that VIQ Solutions considers when products and features are developed. VIQ’s security policies and principles are incorporated at the forefront of product development initiatives and extended throughout the software development lifecycle, but security is never “done.” VIQ leverages a risk-based approach to continuously improve our security posture based on technical advancements and best practices.
VIQ’s platforms heavily leverage industry-standard public cloud environments. Our cloud first approach allows our platforms to not only rapidly scale, but also provides several security benefits, including continuous monitoring and rapid feedback on emerging security threats.
VIQ products are designed with the user interface securely accessible via a web browser. Our modern web applications are designed to provide the highest level of security while delivering ease of access and usability.
Our solutions are designed to ensure that confidential audio/video recordings and transcription files are never stored locally. Files are encrypted at all stages of storage and transmission to ensure that they remain confidential throughout the lifecycle of the transcription process.
