Mark CE Data as Confidential
To mark the Certified data as Confidential through file upload.
In the XML certification template, look for the Confidential Certified Entity field
Input the value, either of the following:
Yes (data is hidden and kept confidential)
No (data is published publicly)
Once updated, upload the file either via the file uploader in IAF CertSearch or FTP upload.
Once uploaded, the confidential data will no longer be visible on the CE's public page.
Individual data fields can be managed through manual entry. If you need to mark specific fields as confidential, we recommend using the Manual Entry feature within the IAF CertSearch platform.
To manage Confidentiality via API go to the API Documentation.
Additional Information
How does Confidentiality affect Searchability?
If All Fields are confidential then the Certificate Number should remain searchable, while the Certified Entity Name shouldn’t be searchable.
If the Certified Entity is confidential and the Cert Number is not,
Then only the Cert Number should be searchable
If the Certified Entity is NOT confidential and the Cert Number is confidential
Then the Certified Entity should be searchable
