Secure+ FAQ's
What is MindBridge Secure+ Feature?
Mindbridge Secure+ is a secondary authentication feature, which requires all participants
attending an audio conference to be asked for an additional unique authentication
code besides the Host or Guest code, which is provided for the conference.
How does this work?
This is implemented in two ways:
i. Companywide: An organization can implement this
feature for its entire workforce by making them punch the Host/Guest code followed
by a unique code (eg: Employee Code) as a secondary pin to authenticate themselves,
to attend internal conference calls.
ii. Selected Employees: Hosts of Mindbridge (employees
who have their own Host Codes) who wish to conduct conference calls which require
additional privacy, can use this feature. In this case, the Host can create and
distribute Unique Secondary Pins to all participants, which they can use to authenticate
themselves while joining the call.
How do I enable this feature for my entire company?
MindBridge Secure+ can be enabled in two easy steps on Mindbridge:
Step 1: Host or ECP can get the feature enabled by sending an email to Customer
Care team at ‘support@reliancemindbridge.com’ along with the Service
Id#. Customer care team will send the instructions and request for information to
activate the feature.
Step 2: On receipt of the relevant data, the customer care team will activate this
feature for the account.
Once activated, all employees including the Host and Guest will have to punch an
additional code, unique to them to authenticate themselves
The customer care team will also provide information on enabling new employees and
de-activating employees who have left the organization so that the calls remain
secure.
Note: - #Your Service Id can be retrieved by logging into the account, on the left
pane in the Account Hierarchy Tree by clicking on your name on your Profile page.
Will I be able to invite external parties to join my internal
calls once I have activated Secure+
feature?
You can invite external parties such as vendors, contractors, etc to participate
in the internal calls by issuing Secure+ Pins from the MindBridge portal, which
they can use for authenticating themselves to join the 'secure' calls.
I want to implement Secure+ feature for some of my Host ID's
and not for the entire company.
Can I do that?
Yes, this feature can be implemented for one or few Host IDs as well. Please contact
our customer care team at support@reliancemindbridge.com and we will provide you
with further instructions.
Once I have enabled the Secure+ feature for my company, can I
have participants join without
a Secure+ Pin?
No, once this feature is implemented then all the participants will be required
to punch the unique Pin to participate in the call. If there are participants who
do not have a Pin, then the Host can create one, using the 'Generate Secure+ Pin'
feature on the portal. The instructions will be made available in a manual which
will be shared with you once you are enabled for this feature.
Are the Secure+ Pin created for external participants permanent?
No, while creating Secure+ Pins, the Host has to choose the number of days for which
the Pin would remain active. The maximum validity for an active pin is 45 days from
the date of creation.
The host also has the option of closing active pins via the portal.
Am I charged for this feature?
You will not be charged anything for using this feature. Our objective is to help
our customers keep their conferences secure.
Does this impact my invoice in any way?
For all conferences conducted with Secure+ Pins, the 'Type of User' column in your
invoice, which displays if the user was a 'Host' or 'Guest' will not be displayed.
This change is only applicable for conferences conducted with Secure+ Pins. There
will be no impact or changes in your regular invoice if you are not using Secondary
pins.
