SoftSlate Cloud Platform Improvements, 10/26/26

We're happy to announce more recent updates here to the SoftSlate Cloud Platform, covering the last few months. Cheers!
 

Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)

After authenticating with a user name and password, both employees and customers can set up additional "factors," or devices, that they must use to complete the log in process. In most cases, once it is set up, this just requires one or two additional clicks to complete the log in process. Setting up MFA is a huge benefit for security.

Automated Data Backups

As part of the service, SCP creates weekly backups of all your account data and makes them accessible to you to download. Our principle is that your data is yours and you should have access to it.

Audit Logging

Being able to trace an audit trail for critical data - "who changed what and when" - can be essential for security, troubleshooting, business intelligence, and integrations.
