Security
Security is a fundamental concern for on-line activities. Opulus uses the
latest security technology to ensure that the data exchanged between CWT and
the subscriber(s) is completely secure. Identities are rigorously verified and
protected with industry standard authentication technology.
|
♦ How CWT Works
Individuals or groups (e.g., departments or institutes) can initiate a
training process by completing the on-line subscription form and submitting
it to Opulus for approval. Upon acceptance, Opulus shall issue temporary
passwords and set the access rights to start the training session. During the
session all transferred information, including identities, training assignments,
training results, reports, co-sourcing, and outsourcing activities, are encrypted,
encoded, and decoded end-to-end using industry standard technology.
|
♦ Authorization and Access Control
Approved members can only initiate CWT sessions. Based on the subscription
submission, each member receives either an administrator’s access key or a
standard trainee’s access key. Only the administrator has the right to assign
courses, set schedules, review reports of other members, and access audit trails.
|
♦ Strong Password Protection
CWT access by subscribers is protected by strong password authentication. The
“three strikes” rule is implemented in the login to lockout an ID after three
consecutive log-failures. Administrators can view audit reports detailing login
failures with incorrect IDs or passwords via the Training Management Center.
|
♦ Advanced Encryption
Opulus uses state-of-the-art 128-bit Advanced Encryption Standard (AES)
encryption to prevent intruder access to the information during a
training session or development activities of outsourcing or co-sourcing.
Screen viewing and File Transfer data are encrypted end-to-end. AES encryption
ensures that recorded training sessions and/or development activities, stored
on Opulus servers, are cryptographically protected.
|
♦ Highly Secured Data Center
Opulus data centers are protected with continuous intrusion detection and
upgrading of servers to ensure security of your data.
|
♦ Customer Privacy
Opulus has a strong privacy policy that prohibits unauthorized disclosure of
personal or corporate information to any third party. Opulus’s published
privacy policy is included in every subscription agreement. Servers hosting
CWT are physically and administratively separate from Opulus’s corporate
offices. Only designated employees have access on need-only and need-to-know
basis for the express purpose of customer support.

Training Management Center
CWT Training Management Center enables the administrator to assign courses,
set schedules, review results, and make meaningful decisions based on Training
Decision Support and Training Needs Analysis information.
The Training Management Center gives you the power to monitor and measure
training performance for individuals, groups (departments), or the whole
enterprise to ensure that quality requirements and productivity objectives
are met while compliance satisfaction remains strong.
The Training Management Center provides up-to-the-minute information for:
• Monitoring competency-level goal achievement
• Ensuring that learning objectives are being met
• Measuring the performance of individuals, departments, and the enterprise
• Monitor Return-On-Training-Investment (ROTI)
|
♦ Monitor Training Performance
The Training Decision Support subsystem enables management to observe the
status and the results of training in real-time. From the convenience of
their own desktops, managers can monitor all training activities reducing
the complexity of reporting and improving compliance.
|
♦ Training Validation
Validate your training by integrating IQ-OQ-PQ and Statistical Quality
Control models relative to learning objectives.
|
♦ Assess Competency Readiness
Meaningful competency assessment can be performed by classification of the
results according learning objectives. Predict & forecast competency compliance
or competency needs for individuals, departments, or the whole enterprise.
|
♦ Customization
Customization resources are available for adaptation of courses, tests,
examinations, and metrics to meet the specific needs for your in-house
training requirements.
|
♦ Return-On-Training-Investment
Monitor the consumption of corporate resources applied for training and
correlate it to training competency performance. Optimize ROTI by utilization
of Training Needs Analysis and Just-In-Time training.
