Secure Personal Data Management with eSurvey
eSurvey, an EMSD electronic forms solution, ensures the secure collection and storage of sensitive personal data (restricted information). Accessible via a department website using domain credentials, eSurvey allows colleagues to create surveys while adhering to strict data privacy standards based on the Office of the Privacy Commissioner for Personal Data, Hong Kong. Our private cloud infrastructure and proven data protection measures build trust and encourage user engagement.
Why Is eSurvey Important?
Manual data entry from paper surveys introduces errors like typos and misinterpretations, compromising data reliability. eSurvey's digital solution eliminates this, offering streamlined, accurate data collection for events like symposium or workshop. Its multilingual capabilities and consolidated dataset simplify analysis, with easy export to Excel for further investigation.
How To Encrypt Sensitive Personal Data?
eSurvey puts great emphasis on user data security. Survey data filled by user is encrypted in browser before sending to system via internet. Encryption ensures any sensitive data transmitted remains confidential. Even if unauthorized third parties gain access to encrypted data, they would not be able to decipher the information without the encryption key. Encryption also helps ensure the integrity of the data during transit, any unauthorized modifications made to the data can be detected.
Encryption between clients and servers is required to comply with data protection regulations and standards in many industries. It plays a crucial role in safeguarding data and protecting against various cyber threats.
