KST's Orna improves data control of incident report data
The software development team working on Orna has taken initiatives this month, making it a priority to ensure Orna continues improves control over who can see incident reporting data. One of the main enhancements for this initiative was the addition of a records administrator group to provide restrictions for incident reports. Allowing customers who require stricter data control to grant access only by the use of the records administrator group.
Previously incident reports involving medicals for example were visible to all security personnel. However, with the vision of KST's Co-Founders, it was required to improve data control measures which included additional permissions. This initiative will allow Orna to expand its client base in more industries without affecting current customer requirements.
The team plans on releasing the update towards the end of October.
Orna uses a range of services provided by Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Microsoft Azure cloud computing services that encrypt data in transit and while at rest.
Orna was initially released by Kerkton Security Technologies in early 2018 in beta and then officially released in January of 2019. The platform has helped private security agencies and non profits respond to over 20,000 emergency & non emergency calls for service.
Once again, we have been busy at Kerkton Security Technologies working on new features and updates to improve Orna. We are excited to announce the release of the Panic Button , which is our biggest new feature since the April update. Mobile module now has a "Panic" button at the top left that automatically creates a call with a "Panic" NOC when pressed. All available dispatchers in the Dispatch module will be alerted. The Panic Button will blink for the officer until the officer is cleared. From Dispatch module, dispatchers can press the Panic Button to view current panic calls. If there is only one panic call, the dispatcher will be automatically forwarded to the panic call. The Panic Button blinks in Dispatch module until the call is closed to help ensure safety of officers. There are some additional updates. Orna now has a Call for Service Audit Log , the ability to update Call Comments , a Command Line in Dispatch to quickly add a secondary location, full screen windows for assigned and unassigned calls in Dispatch In Progress Screen, Tours updates (tours management headers more intuitive, multiple tour stops can be added/removed from tour, multiple tasks can be added/removed from tour stops), version update notifications for if you are using Orna during an update (no downtime as before, but now you get a notification at the end of the update), and various bug fixes.
