Application development

edays uses an agile development methodology with 2-week sprints involving regular backlog refinement meetings, sprint planning meetings, and a sprint review and retrospective at the end. Testing is performed within the sprint, so code updates and developments can be released regularly.
Access control

edays uses a roles-based access control system throughout all aspects of the company. Using a combination of Active Directory and Azure Active Directory to enable permissions for users throughout the organisation, which allows us to control access to sensitive data.
Encryption

edays utilises a range of cryptographic controls to keep your data secure. Encryption is used throughout edays, both for data at rest and data encryption in transit.
Employee screening

Employees working in roles that have access to sensitive data are required to undergo a credit and criminal records check. This will be undertaken before the employee starts in the role, but edays reserves the right to re-check individuals over the course of their employment.
