HRonlinePlus Strengthens Platform-Wide Security with Expanded OTP Verification

Published: October 2026

As Philippine businesses increasingly adopt cloud-based Human Resource Information Systems (HRIS), protecting confidential employee information and securing digital HR operations remain essential priorities.

HRonlinePlus, an award-winning cloud-based HRIS solution in the Philippines, has expanded its existing One-Time Password (OTP) verification security across its platform.

OTP verification was previously implemented for Employee Self-Service (ESS). The latest enhancement extends OTP verification to HR Workspace and customer-facing services, including Book a Demo, Request a Quote and Service Request. Mandatory OTP is required at every ESS and HR Workspace login.

Building on Existing OTP Security for Employees

HRonlinePlus has provided Employee Self-Service (ESS) capabilities that allow employees to access HR information and perform authorized transactions online, including electronic payslips, leave and overtime requests, change-shift requests, attendance information and employee records.

OTP verification was already part of ESS authentication. The latest enhancement builds on that protection by expanding verification to additional HRonlinePlus access points and services.


Mandatory OTP Verification for Employee Self-Service (ESS)

HRonlinePlus requires OTP verification during every ESS login. After the standard login step, employees complete the configured OTP verification process before access is granted.

This extra authentication requirement helps reduce unauthorized access risks if a password is compromised.


Expanded OTP Protection for HR Workspace

HR Workspace supports authorized HR personnel managing employee 201 files, attendance, payroll-related operations, leave, overtime, approvals and reporting, according to assigned permissions.

As part of the expanded security implementation, OTP verification is mandatory during every HR Workspace login. After successful authentication, authorized personnel may access the modules allowed by their assigned roles. This does not mean a separate OTP is required for every individual module.

OTP Verification Extended to Customer-Facing Services

HRonlinePlus has also extended OTP validation to requests submitted through its website.

Book a Demo
OTP verification helps validate contact information associated with requests for an HRonlinePlus system demonstration.

Request a Quote
Organizations requesting HRIS pricing or a customized proposal complete OTP verification as part of the quotation request process.

Service Request
The Service Request function includes OTP verification to add a validation step to submitted service inquiries.

Email and SMS OTP Verification

HRonlinePlus supports verification through email or SMS according to its configured workflow and applicable contact information. Users do not manually choose between email and SMS; the system uses the relevant email address or mobile number.


Why Expanded OTP Security Matters for Philippine Businesses

Cloud HRIS platforms handle employee records, attendance, compensation details and other confidential information. Expanded OTP verification strengthens employee account access, HR administrator login security and validation of customer-facing requests.

OTP is one safeguard within a broader security program; it does not eliminate every cybersecurity risk.


Reinforcing Information Security Through ISO Certifications

RVE App Maker Inc., the company behind HRonlinePlus, maintains ISO 9001:2015 and ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certifications. The company has recently retained its ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certification, reinforcing its continued commitment to information security management.

ISO 9001:2015 addresses quality management systems, while ISO/IEC 27001:2022 provides a framework for an Information Security Management System (ISMS), including managing information security risks and protecting confidentiality, integrity and availability.

Together with expanded OTP verification, these management-system commitments support the company's ongoing approach to responsible information management and service improvement.
