![]() | Data StorageYour Data—When and Where You Need It The Cloud enables you to get your data in front of the people who need to see it quickly and easily. Every OSC tenant receives 10 GBs of free storage. You can upload any file you want, and your data is available anywhere you have a wireless connection and is easily sharable. If you run out of free data, you can easily add more by subscribing to a higher tier of service. You can be confident that whatever data you store on the OSC is protected by leading-edge security features and supported by the Microsoft Azure platform. You own whatever data you store in the Cloud—Olympus does not access or share your information. Learn More About Security |

Security
Application GatewayThe 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 SecurityThe 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 ManagementUser 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 SecurityThe 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 ProtectionThe 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 EncryptionA 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 ManagerThe 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:
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
|
![]() | IPM Mobile AppThe 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. Specifications
