Our quality visionHow we work
Four steps between your sample and a report you can hand to an auditor.
You describe the material and your question. A scientist reads your request and confirms it can be carried out.
If your request is feasible, the method, sample requirements and outputs are worked out one by one and turned into a quote.
Once you approve the quote, the measurement is taken according to the required references, procedures and/or methods.
The standard report is delivered to you, with supporting documentation if requested.
Send your request, approve the quote, bring your sample, download the report and see your invoice. Every stage of your job sits in one account with a clear status.
Describe your material and your question. You can send it without an account; with one, the request shows up in the portal.
A scientist reads your request and prepares a quote. You review it in the portal and approve it; your approval is recorded with your name, date and time.
Once your sample reaches the laboratory it is received and your order is opened. You follow the order status in the portal.
The analysis follows the method in the quote. You can see which stage your order is at, at any time.
The approved report is published in the portal and can be downloaded. An approved report does not change; a correction arrives as a new revision.
Your invoices, payments and balance are on one screen. Overdue invoices are flagged.
The status of your request, quote, order and report is shown in the portal. If you wish, updates reach you by e-mail too.
Your data is safe
Your samples, results and invoices belong to you. Here is what protects them in NAKTEM Portal, point by point.
The site is served through Cloudflare: your connection is encrypted with HTTPS and floods of attack traffic are absorbed before they reach the site.
Sign-in, sign-up, password reset and request forms use Cloudflare Turnstile to turn away automated attempts, and repeated attempts are rate limited.
Passwords are never stored in readable form, only as a one-way hash. We cannot see your password either.
Your session key expires after 15 minutes and is renewed safely while you use the portal. A session left unused closes by itself.
NAKTEM staff who can reach your data sign in with two-step verification; in production it is mandatory.
Every change to a record is written to an audit log whose entries are chained together. If an entry is altered later, the chain breaks and it is noticed.
An uploaded file is checked for type, size and its SHA-256 fingerprint. It sits in private storage and opens only through a signed link that lasts one minute.
Your account sees only your own requests, quotes, reports and invoices. Someone else's record will not open, even if its number is known.
