Security policy

Applications access

Atrius supports access controls for buildings and organizations via User Management, and apps and settings via Permission Sets. It is up to Administrator users to determine the desired authorization levels for users of your buildings, apps, and settings.

Administrators must also determine password strength and related policies for access to your applications.

Data systems access

Customer data resides on Atrius systems only after customer authorization. We never disclose, share, or discuss your data outside of Atrius without your authorization. All access to Atrius is over HTTPS, ensuring security and privacy of the data.

Access to Atrius applications that are capable of manipulating data require authentication and authorization. We assume that you will not share login information with others because your login information represents your identity. All user actions that manipulate data are logged in an Audit Trail, and the user associated with those actions is responsible for the result.

Privacy policy

Atrius stores cookies on your computer. These cookies are used to collect information about how you interact with the website and allow us to remember you.

For instance, we may log environmental variables, such as browser type, operating system, web activity (referring or exit webpages), and the Internet Protocol (IP) address of your computer. We do not match this information with any other information held by Atrius, unless we have your authorization. We reserve the right to disable or terminate access to any IP address at any time.

Primarily, we use the information we collect from you to provide, maintain, and improve our existing products and services as well as to develop new ones. Additionally, if we state that we are collecting information for a specific purpose, and you provide us with information, we will use it for that specific purpose.

User analytics

Atrius gives users control over whether and how they are tracked. Administrator users may specify the default organization-wide tracking setting on Organization Settings, while individual users may specify their own tracking setting on their User Profile, which overrides the organization-wide setting. Go to the User analytics field on these pages.

Password policy

Does Atrius support single sign-on?

Yes. Single Sign-On (SSO) integration requires additional subscription and set-up fees. To learn more, contact Customer Support.

What is your password strength policy?

The rules and considerations related to passwords for application access are the responsibility of the organization entitled to access for the application. Atrius requires the following:

  • Password must not be the same as the username

  • Password must include at least 3 of the following: 1 number, 1 special character (!@#$%^&*_+), 1 upper case letter, 1 lower case letter

  • Password must be at least 8 characters long

  • Password must be unique for at least the past 13 passwords

  • Account is locked for 30 minutes after 5 login attempts

What is your password lifecycle policy?

We recommend that you use SSO for sophisticated password expiration options.

Can Atrius be integrated with Active Directory?

Yes. Atrius supports SAML 2-based Okta integration, which can be integrated with Active Directory.

Can Atrius be integrated with custom authentication and authorization systems?

Atrius supports SAML 2-based Okta integrations. Atrius does not support non-Okta SAML directly. If you use LDAP or Active Directory, but don't already use Okta, your IT team would have to enable an Okta integration, become an Okta administrator, and enable the supported Atrius Okta integration for access for specific users. This would enable SSO into Atrius while maintaining control over identity management.
