Security

Your Data, Secured The OSC’s security is built on the foundation of Microsoft Azure, a platform that complies with the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Cybersecurity Framework. Azure offers multi-layered security features, including: User authentication Platform and web application firewalls Encryption for data in transit and at rest

Your Data, Secured

The OSC’s security is built on the foundation of Microsoft Azure, a platform that complies with the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Cybersecurity Framework. Azure offers multi-layered security features, including:

User authentication
Platform and web application firewalls
Encryption for data in transit and at rest

Application Gateway

The Azure Application Gateway has a web application firewall (WAF) that monitors for threats and exploitation, such as SQL injection and cross-site scripting. The WAF is based on the Core Rule Set (CRS) 3.1 from the Open Web Application Security Project (OWASP). For even greater security, Microsoft data scientists use machine learning, behavioral analytics, and application-based intelligence to analyze patterns and detect threats faster.

API Management Security

The OSC is housed in an isolated environment with an allocated set of resources through Azure API Management. The API acts as a security wall between our applications and databases, improving the OSC’s performance and privacy.

Identity and Access Management

User authentication and authorization are the OSC’s primary security perimeters. Access to the OSC is controlled by Azure's identity management service, Azure AD B2C. The user authentication data and user database are stored in separate locations to prevent combined data risk. Microsoft also provides an identity secure score that we use to plan our routine security reviews and improvements.

Network Security

The perimeter network architecture enables us to segment the network—our applications are behind the WAF while the SQL database and data storage are behind the OSC Platform APIs. This segmentation adds layers of network security to help prevent unauthorized access to data. In addition, Microsoft offers protection against distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks that exhaust the application’s resources and make it unavailable for authorized users.

Threat Protection

The Azure Advanced Threat Protection (ATP) monitors and profiles user activities, protects user identities and credentials, identifies and investigates suspicious user behavior, and provides detailed incident information.

The SQL database protects your data by providing auditing and threat detection capabilities. Auditing allows us to monitor user log ins and activities within the database to check for potential threats or suspected abuse and security violations, helping protect your data from misuse. Alerts are set to warn us of any suspicious activities to facilitate data security and confidentiality.

End-to-End Data Encryption

A crucial OSC security feature is that data is encrypted both in transit and at rest so that if there was a security breach, the data would be unusable to unauthorized users.

Another key feature—client-side encryption—encrypts data in the client location before it is stored in the SQL database and then decrypts it at the client location once retrieved from the SQL database. This feature enables you to maintain a separation between those who own and can view the data (you) and those who manage but don’t have access to the data (Olympus).

Azure also has a feature called blob storage for storing unstructured data, such as zip files, in a binary format. All data written to Azure storage—both the SQL Database and blob—is automatically encrypted.

IPM App

Inspection Project Manager

The Inspection Project Manager (IPM) web app transforms inspection workflows by making them agile and efficient. The intuitive and modern user interface is easy to learn and provides specific functionality based on your role in the Cloud tenant. Users see only what’s important for them while admins can build out projects how they’d like with additional features:

Assign managers
Add users
Review data
Monitor project status and completion %

The IPM app also simplifies data transfer. Inspectors in the field can connect their Olympus industrial devices to a wireless local area network or mobile hotspot to receive survey files and export completed work back to the project office via the IPM app. The result is faster reporting and decision making.

IPM App Benefits

Efficiently Manage Your Projects, Jobs, and Tasks

It’s easy to create a Project, assign a Project Manager, and add all necessary users and devices to complete the work. Break the project down into as many Jobs as needed and begin building out specific inspection Tasks based on the measurement data that needs to be collected. From the Task level, you can deploy compatible survey files to connected instruments anywhere there’s an Internet connection.

Track Progress on Convenient Dashboards

The Project and Job pages provide managers with a progress overview and status of each item. Look at all your open jobs and tasks or drill down to a specific one to see more details. Access this information from anywhere by simply logging into your OSC account and launching the IPM app.

Create or Upload Survey Files to Start Working Faster

You can create survey files at the Task level. A wide variety of formats are supported, including 2D Grid, Sequential+Custom Point, Boiler, Manual, and many more.

If you already have a survey file from a past inspection or third-party compatible program, you can upload the FTP file to your Task and deploy it to your compatible Olympus devices.

Keep Your Tools in the Field with Wireless Data Transfers

Leave your connected devices in the field where they’re needed rather than bringing them or their USB memory cards back to the office to offload data. With the IPM app, managers thousands of miles away can build Tasks and wirelessly deploy them to connected devices or assign them to specific inspectors. And once all readings are completed, an inspector can send them back to the manager for review.

Simplify Your Data Collection with Interactive Isometric Maps

Take advantage of the IPM app’s powerful interactive isometric drawing feature that enables you to link an isometric drawing with its corresponding FTP survey file. First, upload a circuit drawing (2D drawing of an asset, such as a pipe or tank) that includes condition monitoring locations (CMLs). Then upload the corresponding survey file that contains the number of measurements required at each CML and the thickness readings from previous inspections. The app uses AI to scan the drawing, call out the CMLs, and make them interactive.

	IPM Mobile App The mobile app allows inspectors to see which Tasks are assigned to them. They can see which files have been deployed to their device, or if a Task with an interactive isometric has been assigned to them. With the mobile app, inspectors can update the isometric drawings while in the field, add photos, and create visual events.
