HTTPS and TLS
Public traffic is served over HTTPS. HTTP Strict Transport Security is enabled so browsers keep using TLS.
Security at GlobalPass+
GlobalPass+ protects candidate accounts, assessments, results and certificates with TLS, hashed passwords, session controls, role checks, signed credentials and monitored backups.
- Candidate accountIdentity and assessment access
- Encrypted connectionHTTPS / TLS
- ApplicationRole-checked access
- Protected dataResults and certificates
Authentication
Passwords are hashed with Argon2. Privileged accounts use multi-factor authentication. Sessions use HTTP-only cookies, CSRF protection and revocation.
Role-based controls
Candidates, organisations, reviewers and operators see only the routes their role allows. Admin actions are authenticated and recorded.
Private storage
Assessment responses, identity data and credentials are stored in private services. Public verification exposes only the fields listed on the verify page.
Protected credentials
Application secrets, signing keys and payment credentials are mounted as files, not committed to source. Stripe payment confirmations are verified before assessment access is granted.
Signed credentials
Issued certificates carry a unique ID, QR code and cryptographic signature so anyone can check active, expired, suspended or revoked status.
Isolation and monitoring
Services run in non-root containers with internal networks, resource limits, health checks and audit logs. Monitoring alerts on health and error signals.
Backups
Encrypted production backups are taken on the privately controlled host. Restore rehearsal is part of the release process before schema changes.
