System Security & Recovery FAQ
Last Reviewed

Next Review Due
2026-05-22
Calculus ensure your system is secure and safe, unfortunately though, things can go wrong. Our environments ensure you stay safe, and in the event you do have disaster, we can get you back online as quickly as possible.
Below are some common questions we get asked surrounding your system security and recovery.
Unless your agreement or the questions otherwise specify, the protection and security is provided only to hardware that is on an active agreement with Calculus. If you have 3rd-party hardware the protection and backups will be managed by that party.
NCompass
What protection is on my NCompass system?
Leased servers and workstations will come with our EDR (endpoint detection and repsonse) platform that monitors for malicious behaviour, as well as 17 performance metrics. 
Purchased servers are provided with:
EDR and monitoring on the core (or "main") server.
Anti-Virus and Malware, with some core performance monitoring metrics on any subsequent servers. Local backups of the database are also performed daily.
Purchased workstations are provided with:
Anti-Virus and Malware, with some core performance monitoring metrics
You can extend a more comprehensive protection plan to any of your workstations, contact the sales team to find out more.
Is my NCompass System backed up?
Yes. As standard you will get a daily backup of your database locally for speed in the event of a disaster, and an offsite encrypted backup for security and safety, this is stored for a rolling 7 days. The support team can assist you with keeping your own copy of the local backup safely if you wish.
If you have a 3rd-party server, Calculus will not backup your data without an express written agreement.
The backups provided can be upgraded on any servers or workstations to include more comprehensive backups. Contact the sales team to find out more.
Our cloud platform provides more frequent rolling backups.
What about remote access for NCompass Apps?
Access to the API is timed token based, secured with SSL certificate on the API (Where the app talks to do exchange data).
What measures should I implement on my NCompass System to maximise security?
By default, NCompass and its relevant infrastructure operates on a least privileged basis. What this means is that the users of your system will only be able to access parts of the system they need to without being expressly granted that permission. NCompass has a security rights option in the administration menu which allows you to grant and deny access to your users at a granular level.
In the unlikely event our monitoring detects suspicious activity, the support team will start the runbook to handle the event. 
What is the recovery time if I do have a disaster scenario with my system?
Refer to your specific agreement for contractual obligations. The below is provided as an example.
Depending on the severity and nature of the failure, a backup system can be online and ready within 2-4 hours in a limited capacity for NCompass. In the event of a hardware replacement being required to get you back online, this is next business day on a like-for-like basis - limitations may occur for those of you further afield where shipping may take 48 hours, as well as the timing of the failure.
Talk to our sales team for more tailored options, such as cloud disaster recovery as part of our Platinum Protection plan.
Is NCompass PCI Compliant?
NCompass does not directly take any card payments, but does integrate with systems that do. These systems are PCI compliant. You may find that you do fail PCI compliance due to things such as open ports which are necessary for NCompass Apps to work - this is perfectly normal, if you do receive a failed scan please email support with a copy of the report indicating the failures.
Website
This only applies to Calculus provided WP11 sites, i.e. Magento.
Is my website secure?
Your website is a public facing entity, this means anyone in the world can acces and view the data on your site which differs to your NCompass system which has controlled access via tokens or credentials, or is locked down to prevent external access.
Your website traffic is protected in transit by an SSL certificate, this is the S part of the HTTPS you'll see at the start of your URL.
There are a number of protections in place on the site as well which prevent unauthorised access and interaction, including (but not limited to):
Captcha - this tests for robots
Access restrictions via credentials, or server policies (such as firewall ports, or file system permissions)
Hardware Firewalls
Enterprice grade DDoS mitigation
SSL/TLS encryption for data in transit
Is my website backed up?
Yes. A full backup is peformed daily with a 2-day retention policy, with a monthly backup retained for 1 month. All backups are securely stored off-site.
Is my website in a secure facilty?
Yes. The datacentres are dedicated facilities, that include:
24/7/365 on-site staffing and monitoring.
No external signage indicating the nature of the facility.
Secure 3-metre-high fencing, biometric access, and CCTV with 90-day retention.
Fire detection and suppression systems (dual-zone, gas-based, and early-warning VESDA).
ISO 27001 compliant facility.
What is the recovery time if there is a disaster scenario for my website?
In the event of a data corruption incident (this has never occurred under the current infrastructure) 1-2 hours should be allowed for a restoration the most recent good-state backup.
If the there is a more complex failure, such as the hardware or operating system, recovery time can be up to 6-8 hours depending on the type of failure, for example:
Some components are hot-swappable, or easier to replace requiring minimal downtime. These can be up to 1-2 hours.
Complete system failure, whilst very rare, would require entirely new hardware and rebuild. 6-8 hours should be allowed for this.
Is my site PCI compliant?
Your site does not directly take payments, but does handover to gateways that are PCI compliant. If you do get any PCI failures on your website, please email the web team and include the full copy of report with the failures.

Product Search Advisor
This module is a chargeable module, if you are interested in this module, please reach out to our admin team on the following link to inquire  Click Here 
If you have already purchased this module, please continue.
Introduction
Our product search advisor is a powerful tool that allows your customer to quickly search and find a product using and advanced configuration of your filters across your products to drive this quick catalogue search using a smart intuitive interface. Please see a basic user interaction using the advisor below.
To briefly explain the video, this allows the user to select a category, and using your own configuration of the advisor you can guide your customers to shop by relevant results related to those category. for example, TVs to be shopped by size, laundry to be filtered by load size, and/or installation type, and this can all be configured using our smart front end utility.
once this module is enabled for you, a front-end utility becomes available to you to use in a variety of different configurations. it will display by default all categories available to you.
Dynamic Filters Configuration
Open the Configurator
Navigate to Calculus > Product Advisor
From here you will see each parent category separated into its own block. Within each block you will configure the specific attributes which will be used for the sub department.
Configure Attributes
In the example bellow we have used the Washing/Drying Capacity attributes as Filter 2, the manufacturer as Filter 3 and adjusted the labels accordingly.
You can see how this will look on the website here:
Missing Attributes
You can see here that there are 13 products in Floorcare but only 10 have the Colour attribute.
To view all products that are missing filter attributes, click Export Missing Filter Report in the top right of the page.
This will then generate an Excel file of all missing attributes from individual products.
Save Changes
Once you have finished configuring your filters you must press Save Configuration at the bottom of the page and flush the cache.
Optional: Search Advisor Widget
With the Products Search Advisor enabled you will also have the ability to inject the advisor as a widget throughout the site but with some caveats.
In the example above the advisor has been added to a laundry landing page and displays just the sub departments of Laundry in the first filter. This is achieved using a HTML code element in Magento's page builder.
Start with adding a HTML code element to your block or page. Once added, select the 
 icon that appears when hovering over the element. In here you will select 
 and select product advisor from the Widget Type dropdown.
You should no see a new dropdown called Category. Select the parent department you want to use for the first filter.
NOTE: The advisor can only use a single department when used as a widget.
Once you have selected your department, now press 
 and save your block/page.

Introduction
The Routing module helps optimise field calls into the most efficient order, reducing travel time and distance.
In the latest release, NCompass uses Google’s upgraded Routing API to improve routing accuracy and optimisation, including support for Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland.
The module can automatically organise and time calls, making it easier to notify customers of their estimated appointment window. It can also route calls automatically and, when used with the points-based system, lock an engineer’s day once travel time pushes them beyond their working hours. This adds protection against overbooking.
Configuration
Before using the Routing module in NCompass, complete the initial setup.
Google API Key
Follow the internal guide for setting up your Google API key:
Setting up Google API ... | Calculus Knowledge Base
Note: This may already be configured if you use NCompass Mobile or have previously used routing in NCompass.
Routing Wizard
Go to:
Tool > Licencing and Quick Configuration
On the Routing line, select Click for wizard.
Step 1: API Key
Enter the API key obtained in the previous step.
Click Save & Next >
Step 2: Engineer Timings and Locations
For each engineer you want to route, set:
Start Time (
HH:MM)
Start Postcode
Tick Enabled
Optional:
Highlight engineers you want to limit by working hours.
Enter the number of minutes worked for each day at the bottom of the window.
Click Update Selected
Note: You can edit these settings later for each engineer individually after completing the wizard.
Click Save & Next >
Step 3: Padding, Rounding, and PM Calls
Configure field call padding for the customer appointment window:
Start: Add this many minutes to the start of the call
End: Add this many minutes to the end of the call
Base Duration: Add this many minutes to the duration of the call
Configure rounding times:
Google’s Routing API may return exact times such as 9:57 AM. Use the rounding setting to round these times to your preferred option.
Configure afternoon calls to either:
Start immediately after the AM calls
Start after lunch, with a delay if needed
Click Save & Next >
Step 4: Automatic Routing
Recommended: Speak to the implementation team before enabling automatic routing.
Automatic routing will route every enabled engineer, on every day where a new call is booked or an existing call is amended.
Important: This may increase usage against your Google account if you exceed your monthly call allowance.
If you want to enable automatic routing:
Set NCompass automatically update routes to Yes
Choose a Default Standard Route:
Fastest (recommended)
Furthest Call First
Furthest Call Last
Set Finalize Route X Days Before to lock field calls from amendment and route calls on the configured day/time
Set Lock Field Calls After Routing if field calls should be locked once manual routing is completed
Click Finish
Engineer Settings
After completing the wizard, you can update engineer-level routing details.
Changing Routing Settings
Go to:
Salesperson & Engineers > Edit
Engineer tab
Update:
Default Start Time
Default Start Postcode
Routing tab
Update:
Total duration of working hours per day
Automatic Text Messages
To configure customer SMS notifications with estimated field call windows:
Go to:
Salesperson & Engineers > Edit
In the Engineer tab, configure:
Auto SMS Times Today
Sends messages to all customers with a mobile number for field calls booked for today.
Example: 
07:00 on the morning of the call.
Auto SMS Times Tomorrow
Sends messages to all customers with a mobile number for field calls booked for tomorrow.
Example: 
18:00 on the evening before the call.
Note: These settings must be configured for each engineer individually.
Routing & Planning
Automatic Routing Explanation
NCompass can automatically route each enabled engineer for every day they have calls booked, if this has been configured in the routing wizard.
Whenever an engineer’s diary changes, that engineer and date are added to a re-routing queue. Once processed, NCompass recalculates the total duration of the day.
If the new total exceeds the engineer’s working hours, NCompass prevents any further calls from being booked for that engineer on that date.
This allows estimated travel time to be considered when preventing overbooking.
Access via Two Week Planner
Go to:
Field Calls > Two Week Planner
Then:
Right-click the engineer and day you want to route
Access via Scheduled Calls
You can also access routing from Scheduled Calls:

Use the grid at the bottom of the window
Click and drag calls into the order you want
A blue line shows where the call will be dropped

Configuring your NCompass Users For Anywhere
As all permissions surrounding what a User can and can not access in NCompass Anywhere are controlled in NCompass Desktop, you will need to be logged into NCompass Desktop as a User that has the relevant permissions to able to access 'Administration > Security > User Management' menu to be able to change these permissions . 
Please be aware that NCompass Anywhere inherits the permissions set against a User in NCompass Desktop. So changing any permissions so the User can run Reports in Anywhere, means they will able to run the same reports in Desktop NCompass, as the two systems are linked. 
If you do not currently have the relevant permissions to change these settings against a User, pause here, and discuss with your manager to confirm if access can be granted to this section or not. 
Please Note: Our Support team are happy to assist you in configuring these permissions if help is required, but will only do so if they have be granted permission by a senior member of staff at your company.
To edit the permissions of a User, first select the User in question and press Edit. 
Using the navigation arrows, browse to the 'NCompass Desktop' tab. 
From here, you can control if a User has access to run Reports or not via the Reports tickbox highlighted below 
If you require a member of Staff to be able to run any Reports configured under Reports > Additional Reports (which are the reports that can be run on NCompass Anywhere) but not be able to run any other type of report, then it is possible to do this via the Security Rights button in the bottom left hand corner of this screen. 
Please contact Support if you require assistance setting this up 
If you then use the Navigation Buttons to browse to the NCompass Anywhere tab, you can control if the user can Login to NCompass Anywhere or not via the Permit Login Button 
By Default, all users are permitted to login to Anywhere. So if you only want select staff to be able to login to the application, then you will need to change this setting against each user.
