Security and trust

How DoesQA handles security, credentials, production testing, GDPR, and enterprise trust as one operated platform.

DoesQA builds and operates the full testing stack: the product, the Test Steps, the Test Runners, and the Results. Security and trust start there. One platform means clear ownership when something needs fixing, and controls you can turn on for the environments you test.

For programme detail, certifications evidence, and policies, see Security and Security on does.qa.

Is DoesQA secure?

DoesQA runs on AWS in the UK (eu-west-2), with customer data encrypted at rest and customer-facing access over HTTPS. Staff access follows least privilege. Admin accounts use MFA. DoesQA holds and follows Cyber Essentials.

DoesQA has a proven 99.9% uptime. DoesQA has been approved for use by the UK Government.

The deeper controls, retention rules, and what DoesQA stores live on Security.

How does DoesQA handle credentials and secrets?

Keep secrets in product controls built for them, not in plain step text. Full behaviour is on How DoesQA handles credentials and secrets.

Control
What it is for

Credentials and other secrets used in Flows. After save, the content stays hidden in the UI and still applies when Tests run.

MFA secrets under Settings → MFA, used with Set MFA. The secret is not viewable again after save.

Account access

Unique accounts, approval for new access, and least-privilege staff access on the DoesQA side

Your team decides which credentials enter DoesQA and who can use them on your account. See shared responsibility on Security.

Can DoesQA safely test production systems?

Staging is the best place for full regression suites.

You can also test production. Many customers do. Recommended practice when you do:

  • Point Flows only at the URLs you intend to hit.

  • Use careful Values for any production credentials.

  • Allow DoesQA runner IPs through your firewall when needed (Whitelisting IPs).

  • Block hostnames Runs should never reach (Block Hostnames).

Those isolation controls are part of how enterprise teams keep production Runs inside clear boundaries.

Does DoesQA train AI models on customer data?

DoesQA AI stays inside DoesQA, hosted in the UK. Nothing leaves the DoesQA ecosystem for DoesQA AI.

Learning is optional. When it is on, Intelligence can improve for you and your account. When something useful applies more widely, other customers only get generic learning, not your private account detail. You can turn Automation Intelligence and Learning off any time.

DoesQA also works fully with AI off: Flows, Manual Elements, Runs, and Results stay available.

Is DoesQA GDPR compliant?

DoesQA is aligned with UK GDPR. Customer infrastructure runs in the UK on AWS (eu-west-2). DoesQA LTD is registered in England and Wales. DoesQA follows GDPR rights including the right to removal. See How long we keep data.

For a direct answer on what is stored, see Does DoesQA store our data?.

Is DoesQA suitable for enterprise use?

Enterprise teams use DoesQA when they want reliable hosted Runs and clear platform ownership, with controls around where Tests can go.

DoesQA holds and follows Cyber Essentials. Isolation controls such as Whitelisting IPs and Block Hostnames keep Runs inside the boundaries you set. Flows, Steps, Runners, and Results sit in one product, so there is no third-party remote runner to argue with when something fails. See Maintenance and reliability.

DoesQA has a proven 99.9% uptime and has been approved for use by the UK Government.

Optional AI stays under your control. Turn it off when a policy requires it.
