Security¶
You can configure VettingGateway to comply with your organisation's security policies. We recommend using these settings to ensure your users adopt a strong baseline of access security, protecting the personal data of your applicants.
Password Policy¶
Force minimum password requirements for all users registering under your organisation. This applies when a user sets or resets their password.
Within each field, enter the minimum number of characters required for that character type, or leave as 0 to impose no minimum for that type.
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Minimum length | The total minimum number of characters a password must contain. |
| Uppercase letters | The minimum number of uppercase characters (A–Z) required. |
| Lowercase letters | The minimum number of lowercase characters (a–z) required. |
| Numbers | The minimum number of numeric characters (0–9) required. |
| Special characters | The minimum number of symbols (e.g. !, @, #) required. |
Click Save Changes to apply your policy. The updated requirements will apply to all new password registrations and resets from that point forward.
Tip
We recommend a minimum password length of 10 characters, with at least one uppercase letter, one number, and one special character. This meets common security baselines for organisations handling personal data.
Note
Existing user passwords are not affected when you update the policy. The new requirements only apply when a user next creates or resets their password.
