As a platform handling 'drawings', which are critical assets in the manufacturing industry, Quick Value has implemented robust data encryption technology as a standard feature since its launch. With the recent addition of an identity verification step via email (two-step verification), the service further enhances account security. At the same time, the company is reaffirming the standard drawing protection mechanisms already in place. This solidifies the service's reliability as a digital infrastructure that information systems and purchasing departments can use with peace of mind.

Background of Security Enhancement As the digitalization of supply chains in the manufacturing industry accelerates, ensuring the safety of drawing sharing between companies is a top priority. To ensure the quality standards cultivated in the field over many years are also maintained in the digital domain, Valqua positions the 'safety and reliability' of security at the core of its service value. The company will continue to implement ongoing security enhancements to address the ever-changing external environment and increasingly severe cyber risks.

Overview of Implementations 1. Introduction of additional email verification alongside passwords (New) In addition to traditional password logins, a 'two-step verification' has been newly introduced, requiring the input of an authentication code sent to the registered email address. - Even in the unlikely event that a password is leaked externally, logging in is impossible without access to the user's email, thereby reducing the risk of unauthorized access by third parties.

2. Awareness of standard 'Drawing Protection Features' (Existing) Quick Value applies industry-standard encryption measures at the time of storage for all drawing data entrusted by customers. The company is taking this opportunity to reaffirm this mechanism. - Encrypted Data Storage: All uploaded drawings and files are automatically encrypted the moment they are saved and protected in a secure area. - Time-Limited Secure Sharing: When sharing drawings with processing partners, a time-limited URL valid for '15 minutes', accessible only by the specified recipient, is issued. This provides a standard mechanism to securely deliver necessary information only to the required parties.

Future Outlook Building on this security foundation, Quick Value plans to add new features in July 2026 that will further enhance the convenience of drawing management. Additionally, preparations are underway to offer features for customers requiring more advanced security policies or dedicated environments for their companies. Valqua will continue to utilize digital technology to provide services that safely and efficiently improve added value for professionals in the manufacturing industry.
