Bus Driver Intranet: NSW STA
An extranet for NSW bus drivers — accounts provisioned from HR exports, payroll and leave access, and a secure proxy that reaches the internal roster system without exposing it to the internet.
The State Transit Authority runs bus services across Sydney. This is a separate system from the STA intranet and the public site: an extranet for bus drivers, giving them secure access to their own payroll, leave and roster information.
The portal provides secure login and user setup based on CSVs exported from the HR system, secure access to payroll and leave information, and the establishment of a secure proxy to the internal roster system. This proxy solution enabled the integration of the internal roster system without exposing it to potential security risks on the internet.
Custom Login and User Setup
PretaGov developed a customized login and user setup system tailored to STA's requirements. This system facilitated secure authentication and user management by utilizing CSV files exported from STA's HR system. By automating the user setup process, the solution streamlined access for authorized personnel and ensured data integrity.
Secure Viewing of Payroll and Leave Information
The intranet solution provided secure access to payroll and leave information for STA employees. This feature not only enhanced employee self-service but also adhered to strict security protocols to safeguard sensitive personnel information.
Secure Proxy for Internal Roster System
The project addressed the challenge of providing secure access to the internal roster system. Recognizing the sensitivity of this data and the need for strong security measures, PretaGov established a secure proxy that enabled access to the internal roster system without exposing it to external threats. This approach ensured seamless functionality while maintaining a high level of security.
Conclusion
By leveraging the flexibility of the CMS to handle both extranet and intranet capabilities securely a cost effective and secure solution created that the customer was happy with.
Separate systems we built for State Transit: the STA intranet and document library and school bus mapping and timetables on the public site.
What this involved
Accounts provisioned automatically from CSV exports of the HR system, so driver access follows employment rather than a manual list
Drivers see their own payroll and leave information behind authenticated login
A secure proxy reaches the internal roster system, so rosters are available to drivers without exposing that system to the internet
