Security and data handling
The health check reads
This tool only reads data and never makes changes.
Keys stored for the hosted check
A Cortex API key saved for the hosted health check is encrypted with AES-256-GCM before it is stored.
The checker kit
The checker kit runs on your machine. This site does not put a Cortex API key into that download.
Sign-in codes
A sign-in code is emailed once and stored as a hash. It expires in 10 minutes and works once.
Guide questions
The site stores a chapter id and an outcome for a guide question. If you send the question to the team, the text is saved as a case you can reopen.
Consultation notes
A consultation request stores your name, work email, preferred times, topic, and the deadline. The form asks you to leave out tenant names, keys, and data. The server stores the text you submit.
Guide payment
Guide payment is entered on Stripe Checkout. This site does not show the amount and does not collect the card number.
