System Architecture & Security

Inspect Edge is engineered to support housing authorities, government agencies, inspection firms, and large housing organizations with a secure, scalable inspection management platform.

From field inspections and administrative oversight to owner and tenant communication, quality assurance, and enterprise integrations, Inspect Edge is designed to protect inspection data throughout the entire inspection lifecycle.

Inspect Edge uses layered authentication and role-based access controls to help prevent unauthorized access and limit users to the information and functions appropriate for their responsibilities.

Security controls include:

• Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)
• Email One-Time Passcodes (OTP)
• Authenticator App Support
• Strong Password & Complexity Requirements
• Bcrypt Password Hashing
• Automatic Account Lockout
• Secure Password Reset
• Role-Based Permissions
• Authentication Activity Logging
• Password Change Auditing

Roles can be configured for administrators, supervisors, inspectors, QC/CQA reviewers, owners, tenants, and approved API integrations.

Inspect Edge protects inspection records, photos, documents, and supporting information throughout the inspection lifecycle.

Data protection includes:

• Encryption in Transit
• Encryption at Rest
• Encrypted Database Storage
• Secure Amazon S3 Storage
• Protected Photo & Document Transfers
• Secure Cloud Backups
• Redundant Storage
• Data Validation
• Centralized Inspection History

Inspect Edge also maintains data-retention practices and supports the controlled deletion of customer data upon authorized request, providing organizations with greater control over the lifecycle of their information.

Inspect Edge’s Offline Smart Sync allows inspections to continue when internet connectivity is unavailable while maintaining a controlled synchronization process between field devices and the central platform.

Smart Sync and data-integrity controls include:

• Offline Inspection Workflows
• Transaction-Based Synchronization
• Pending Sync Queues
• Automatic Retry & Recovery
• Data Validation
• Synchronization Logging
• Failed Sync Detection
• Mobile Error Monitoring
• Device Diagnostics

When connectivity returns, pending inspection activity can synchronize with the central platform without requiring inspectors to recreate completed work.

Inspect Edge provides controlled API access for approved enterprise integrations while maintaining centralized visibility into important system activity.

Security and monitoring capabilities include:

• Authenticated API Access
• API Credential Management
• Controlled Data Access
• Credential Expiration
• API Activity Logging
• Successful & Failed Login Tracking
• Record Creation, Updates & Deletions
• Permission Change Logging
• Administrative Action Logging
• Synchronization Activity
• Application Error Monitoring

Centralized audit trails help organizations maintain accountability, investigate activity, and support internal governance and security reviews.

Inspect Edge is designed to support large, distributed government and enterprise inspection programs using scalable cloud infrastructure and a Kubernetes-ready architecture.

The platform is designed to support:

• Thousands of Properties
• High-Volume Inspection Programs
• Distributed Inspection Teams
• Concurrent Field Operations
• Large Photo & Document Libraries
• Enterprise Reporting
• Enterprise API Integrations
• Automated Scaling & Load Balancing
• High Availability & Service Resiliency
• Automated Health Monitoring & Recovery
• Secure, Containerized Application Services
• Multi-Agency Deployments

This architecture allows Inspect Edge to scale as inspection volume, concurrent users, synchronization activity, API traffic, photos, documents, and reporting workloads increase.

Combined with offline field operations, centralized monitoring, secure cloud storage, backups, and recovery controls, Inspect Edge provides a resilient infrastructure foundation for mission-critical inspection programs.

Detailed documentation regarding Inspect Edge’s security architecture, authentication, data protection, API integrations, audit logging, synchronization architecture, data retention, monitoring, containerization, and Kubernetes-ready deployment architecture is available upon request for procurement teams, IT departments, and enterprise security reviews.
