Internal Q&A Platform
An internal Q&A platform that protects your organization's sensitive knowledge while making it accessible to authorized team members who need it. Scoold deploys behind your firewall on infrastructure you control, with enterprise authentication, encrypted communications, and granular access controls. Share proprietary information, security procedures, and confidential processes without exposing data to third-party vendors.
Self-Hosted Behind Your Firewall
Scoold runs entirely on your servers with no external network calls, no telemetry, and no vendor access to your data. Deploy in your VPN, on air-gapped networks, or within classified infrastructure segments. The application is fully self-contained. No third party ever sees your questions, answers, or user information. Security starts with complete infrastructure control. Resource efficiency means lower infrastructure costs compared to heavier alternatives.
Enterprise Authentication Integration
Authenticate users through LDAP, Active Directory, SAML 2.0, or OAuth 2.0. Users access the platform with existing corporate credentials, maintaining your organization's authentication standards. SCIM provisioning automates account lifecycle management. Failed login attempts are logged. Offboarded employees lose access immediately through directory synchronization without manual intervention. Authentication failures surface in your existing monitoring dashboards immediately.
Access Controls and Space Isolation
Spaces create isolated knowledge areas with independent access control lists. Restrict sensitive content to authorized groups while sharing general knowledge broadly. Security team discussions stay invisible to non-security staff. Compliance documentation remains accessible only to auditors and relevant personnel. Granular visibility controls ensure information reaches the right people without overexposure. Regular security updates protect against emerging vulnerabilities without disrupting availability.
Encrypted Data at Rest and in Transit
Deploy Scoold behind TLS with your own certificates. Enable mTLS between services for mutual authentication. Encrypt the underlying database storage with your keys. All communication happens over encrypted channels you control. No plaintext data exposure at any point in the architecture. Your encryption standards apply uniformly because you own the entire deployment stack. Updates are straightforward single-container or single-binary replacements.
Audit-Ready Infrastructure
Self-hosting means your existing logging, monitoring, and audit tools capture all platform activity. Track who accessed what, when, and from where using your standard infrastructure tooling. Integrate with your SIEM for security event correlation. Generate compliance reports using your established processes. No dependency on vendor-provided audit logs or delayed access request procedures. Minimal operational overhead keeps your team focused on their core work.
No Third-Party Data Exposure
Internal Q&A platforms inevitably contain proprietary processes, security configurations, incident details, and competitive intelligence. Hosting this on a third-party SaaS platform creates unnecessary risk regardless of their certifications. Self-hosting Scoold means your sensitive knowledge never transits external networks, never resides on shared infrastructure, and never becomes accessible through vendor-side vulnerabilities. Production-ready from the first deployment without complex configuration steps.
