At Goodwyn, security is paramount, just as it is for our customers.. The Goodwyn IRB uses the latest security technology available to take advantage of electronic and web-based document submission and distribution

We start with high-level (128-bit, web banking grade) Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology to protect files in transmission to and from our web site. Then we add file integrity and access control and encryption features. Operating in concert, these security measures provide private and secure handling of confidential research documents.

Here’s a list of our security measures.

  Transmission security: Connections are secured using SSL technology, which encrypts data during transmission. This prevents anyone from eavesdropping on transmissions between our web server and those accessing it

 File Integrity: Files are protected using mechanisms to ensure that data is not accidentally or intentionally modified or corrupted.

 Digital encryption: Files are encrypted using an algorithm employing 7e+134 (7 with 134 zeros) possible keys. It would take millions of years of crack these files using any currently available technology.

  Access Control: Physical, technical, and administrative access control mechanisms work together to provide the security architecture necessary to effectively protect information.

  Confidentiality: A Goodwyn-encrypted document can only be decrypted after downloading by the people intended to see it using IRB-private keys.
