Mark CE Data as Confidential

To mark the Certified data as Confidential through file upload.

  1. In the XML certification template, look for the Confidential Certified Entity field

<confidential_certified_entity></confidential_certified_entity>
  1. Input the value, either of the following:

  • Yes (data is hidden and kept confidential)

  • No (data is published publicly)

  1. 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.

Managing confidentiality for specific fields is temporarily unavailable in the MNCB account.

To manage Confidentiality via API go to the API Documentation.

How does Confidentiality affect Searchability?

  • If the Certified Entity name is confidential then the Certificate Number should remain searchable, while the Certified Entity Name shouldn’t be searchable.
