Transcription Security
SoniClear software and the SoniClear Cloud service maintain security of recordings while they are being transcribed into text.
The recording is transferred from your Windows computer to the SoniClear server using encrypted transmission protocols.
While the recording is stored on the server, the recording and transcribed text are kept in encrypted files, so called “Encryption at Rest”.
After the transcription is returned to your Windows computer, the audio and text of the transcript are deleted from the server.
Recording and audio cannot be access by SoniClear personnel while stored on the server.
The techniques used to secure files on the server follow general industry guidelines. The system is designed to meet the security requirements of routine confidential information. Although unauthorized disclosure of information processed by the SoniClear Cloud system is very unlikely, the potential for a security compromise exists for any computer system. For recordings that contain extremely sensitive information, such as financial information or government secrets for which malicious disclosure could cause severe harm, the SoniClear Cloud transcription service should not be used. Contact SoniClear for more detailed information about security, if this is important for your application.
