GREENWICH, Conn. (PRWEB) April 06, 2020
Leading global marketing research services provider Civicom emphasizes the value of its secure CyberFacility® in-depth interview and focus group solution to protect the integrity of online research as the insights industry shifts to using remote tools.
Market research and mock jury trials are just two of the sectors forced by the current health crisis to take a drastic change of approach in conducting activities, leading many insights professionals to use online conferencing tools to conduct qualitative interviews and focus groups. However, a popular conferencing service has recently been under scrutiny due to security vulnerabilities and privacy concerns that allegedly compromise its users’ data.
On-site research in facility locations has become next to impossible in the current environment. Many market researchers find themselves making unprecedented adjustments to their research process. Ensuring security and confidentiality has become more important than ever.
Civicom has a strong industry presence in market research facilitation through its secure CyberFacility solution for conducting telephone and web-enabled market research in-depth interviews (IDIs) and focus groups. Using CyberFacility, clients experience a proprietary global audio conferencing platform designed and maintained exclusively for serving Civicom clients and customers, along with a managed private cloud web room that ensures secure storage and encryption of client data.
Civicom also offers data anonymization and management services that can be coupled with the CyberFacility IDI and Focus Group solution including audio masking, face blurring, and real-time respondent management to protect Personally Identifiable Information and healthcare data involved in interviews and focus groups.
In addition, Civicom is compliant with security and data privacy regulations domestically and abroad. Civicom is an approved and validated participant in the EU-US Privacy Shield and is compliant with HIPAA, CCPA, PIPEDA, and GDPR, and has implemented a comprehensive information security policy. Civicom subscribes to a strict culture of confidentiality and remains vigilant in keeping its security standards up-to-date through continuous review and audit of internal processes and controls, with the aid of external consultants and data protection and compliance officers dedicated to safeguarding data.
