PI Software Technical Recommendations
This article serves as a guide to help ensure the best possible results when using the PI software. Some companies have heightened IT or email security policies (typically, but not limited to banks, financial institutions, and other high-security firms) that require a few extra steps to avoid errors in the software, or prevent PI software-related emails from being delivered. There are also recommended web browsers.
Safelisting of PI’s URLs and email servers is to be completed by your internal IT team; these actions are not performed from within the PI software. Safelisting is a process which allows website access for designated URLs (shared below) to prevent access issues or other errors related to your company’s unique network settings.
Safelisting URLs
The Predictive Index software utilizes several URLs. In order to prevent errors, and provide the best possible experience with the PI software, we recommend clients who may have strict IT security policies have their IT department safelist the PI URLs, found below:
Adding *.predictiveindex.com would be the best solution, as it would cover all PI URLs.
If that is not possible, here is a list of all PI URLs that should be added to ensure access and limit errors:
accountmanagementapiservice-surl.predictiveindex.com
api.predictiveindex.com
app.predictiveindex.com
http://app.launchdarkly.com/
assessment.predictiveindex.com

We also recommend safelisting the following non-PI URLs:
*.rollout.io
analytic.rollout.io
conf.rollout.io
statestore.rollout.io
push.rollout.io
tpi.getfeedback.com
Email Servers
The Predictive Index software sends emails from several places. Per our SPF record for the predictiveindex.com domain, emails are sent from several hosted cloud systems without dedicated IP addresses. Email servers typically look at the SPF records for incoming email to make sure the email is coming from an approved source. To ensure delivery all of all PI software-related emails, please ensure your IT team has safelisted the following:
192.254.123.39
predictiveindex.com
mailer.predictiveindex.com
outbound.research.net
Protecting Your Emails
The Predictive Index recommends the following security best practice to protect email addresses from unwanted exposure. Sharing a link that contains information such as employee and candidate emails can be dangerous as they can be used for malicious purposes such as cyber attacks and spam emails.
Here is an example of how email addresses might be exposed when you create a shareable link:
https://assess.predictiveindex.com/oi2/****?person_type=Other&folder_id=********-0664-4210-9dc5-6c8f9b3ecbc8&user_id=********-0dd5-45e8-a8f9-70a107dd1e29&send_ca_on_ba_completion=false&sendAnalystCompletionEmail=true&stakeholderEmailList=john@doe.com;jane@doe.com;info@company.com
Before sending any shareable Predictive Index links, we suggest modifying the link to exclude stakeholder email addresses, just like the example below:
https://assess.predictiveindex.com/oi2/****?person_type=Other&folder_id=********-0664-4210-9dc5-6c8f9b3ecbc8&user_id=********-0dd5-45e8-a8f9-70a107dd1e29&send_ca_on_ba_completion=false&sendAnalystCompletionEmail=true
