How Civova protects your data

The controls built into the application, described as they are, without certifications we do not hold.

How does Civova keep company data safe?

Civova limits who sees what with roles and a permission matrix, locks accounts after repeated failed sign-ins, serves everything over HTTPS, keeps each company's data separate, never edits posted financial entries, records an audit trail on financial records and takes a daily database backup.

Who can see and change what?

  • Standard roles plus a permission matrix your administrator controls.
  • Site engineers see only the projects they are assigned to.
  • Approval rules on the documents that need them.
  • The self-service employee role sees only the employee's own payslips and requests.

How are sign-ins protected?

  • Accounts lock after repeated failed sign-in attempts, and sign-in attempts are rate-limited.
  • Sessions time out after inactivity; the time and address of each sign-in are recorded.
  • Administrators can require a password change.
  • Every page is served over HTTPS, with HTTP Strict Transport Security.

How is financial data kept trustworthy?

  • Double-entry accounting: every posting balances or is refused.
  • Posted entries cannot be edited. Corrections are made by reversal.
  • An audit trail records changes to financial records.
  • Financial records are never hard-deleted.
  • Each company's data is kept separate from every other company's.

What about backups and your own data?

  • The database is backed up automatically every day.
  • Reports and documents export to Excel and PDF, so your data stays yours.
  • Stored credentials, such as your email server password, are encrypted.

How we handle personal data on this website is set out in our Privacy Policy.
