Using the Confidential Portal

Overview

The Confidential Portal is an application that allows for the confidential submission of sensitive information. For example, an Incident Submitter wants to report something to their company but is concerned about backlash for disclosing sensitive information.

Tip:
To increase security measures, rate limiting on the number of logins and on the number of submissions created during a session can be implemented on your Org. Please contact your CSM or the Services team if you're interested in enabling this feature. 


Confidential Submissions

When entering their contact details on a Confidential Portal form, submitters can decide if they want to remain confidential, and Resolver will generate an alias for them. Submitters do not require direct system access and can still reply and continue the conversation using a unique email object ID, hiding the submitter's identity.

User Data

All submitter user data is encrypted, but this feature is called Confidential instead of Anonymous because Resolver does store IP address in access logs and submitters' email in Resolver internal logs, as we need it for technical and security reasons. There is no way for anyone to access this information without Resolver’s help. 

We would only release this to an Administrator if required by law (court order or warrant) or for emergency purposes if the submitter is in imminent danger (with approvals from our Legal department).
