Security and Data Privacy
When modeling municipal water networks or industrial infrastructure, we understand that your data is sensitive. R-THYM is built with a security-first architecture to ensure your models, operational strategies, and telemetry data remain strictly confidential.
Private by Default
Every project you create in R-THYM is completely private to your account. Unlike the public demo models available in our library, your infrastructure models cannot be searched, viewed, or accessed by other users on the platform.
Client-Side Simulation Architecture
One of the major security benefits of R-THYM is our use of WebAssembly (epanet-js) to run the hydraulic and transient physics natively in your browser.
- Local Processing: When you run a simulation, the intense mathematical calculations happen securely on your local machine, not on a remote server.
- Data Minimization: This architecture limits the amount of data that needs to be constantly transmitted back and forth across the internet during active "what-if" modeling sessions.
Securing Your Account with Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)
To provide an extra layer of security against unauthorized access, R-THYM fully supports Two-Factor Authentication (2FA). We highly recommend enabling this feature, especially if your account holds sensitive data.
How to Enable 2FA:
- Click on your profile avatar in the top navigation bar.
- Click the "Security Settings" button.
- Follow the prompts to link your account with an Authenticator app (such as Google Authenticator, Authy, or Microsoft Authenticator).
- Once enabled, logging in from a new device will require both your password and a time-sensitive code from your device.
Encryption Standard
All communications between your browser and the R-THYM cloud servers are secured using industry-standard HTTPS (TLS/SSL) encryption. This ensures that when your model data is saved to the cloud, it cannot be intercepted in transit.
