Data Protection
and Security
At Built Intelligence, we understand that your project's success depends on more than just efficient tools—it hinges on trust and security. That's why we prioritise your data's protection, allowing you to concentrate on what truly matters—delivering exceptional projects.
Guardians of your
digital fortress.
Our dedicated security team takes a holistic approach, following industry-leading best practices and adhering to a robust common controls framework. We leave no room for security risks through vigilant threat detection programs, secure software development processes, and compliance with industry standards like ISO 27001, Cyber Essential Plus, and full alignment with the National Cyber Security Centre's guidance.
Platform and network security.
Our cutting-edge platform offers a suite of customisable security features designed to fortify your data's defences. With configurable security settings, single sign-on (SSO), two-factor authentication, multi-tier roles and permissions, security audit logs, hierarchical team permissions, workflow-level permissions, admin tools, data sync, and more, we've got your security needs covered.
100% NEC/JCT/FIDIC contact compliance.
Unlike self-built contract management tools that often adapt to the job, leaving data scattered and standards compromised, FastDraft is purpose-built for contract compliance. Our Product Team employs the "Ironclad" framework, ensuring every workflow is secure, reliable, and 100% compliant. We adhere to a stringent 12-point contract compliance standard, building nothing new unless it meets this rigorous criteria.
Scalability and reliability.
Built Intelligence's network, hosted on the Microsoft Azure infrastructure, guarantees flexible capacity for unwavering reliability. For real-time updates on our platform's operational status, our customers can refer to our status page . We keep you informed and in control.

However, it's essential to adhere to our guidelines (available on request) and submit any findings to our development team.

Our Acceptable Use Policy requires that if you perform a penetration test, you must do so in an authorised manner. Testing the app within the guidelines we set forth on is what constitutes authorised testing. We recommend using a different IP address for scanning than you use to login to your portal. This mitigates any risk that you may be unable to use your Built Intelligence portal due to blocks incurred by your tests. Please see speak to our customer success team before completing any testing
