Data Security

Our security standards are very stringent and we adhere to all the latest security guidelines. Our aim is to always ensure 100% confidentiality of information. We also conduct periodic internal / external audits to measure our security systems and our staffs are fully trained on the guidelines as provided by the data protection act and privacy policy.

Some of our security measures:

• Research analysts work exclusively on your projects only
• Highly secure online application using 128-bit encryption.
• Secure protocols as used by banks and financial institutions
• High-end servers located in USA
• Disaster recovery plans

Facilities

• Our staff do not have access to removable media (flash drive etc.) and printers
• All staff sign non-disclosure agreements
• Protected by surveillance cameras and security guards 24/7
• Restricted access to Internet
• Restricted access to the work area by security card system

These are just a few samples of our security procedures, actually we go much beyond this and constantly re-evaluate and improvise on all our security processes and standards. You can be assured that you are working with a highly reliable provider and we always go the extra mile to ensure the confidentiality of your data.

Full Disk Encryption

Full disk encryption refers to disk encryption technology that encrypts all of the data on the disk or a hard disk drive. Full disk encryption typically takes form in either software or hardware. Full Disk Encryption is often referred to as "FDE," and the combination of hardware and software full disk encryption is often referred to as "end-point full disk encryption," or "end-based full disk encryption."

Strong User Authentication

Single sign-on refers to authentication allowing users to log onto programs, files, folders, and computers once and without being requested to do so again. Single sign-on technology typically is adopted within a "strong user authentication" sense. That is, users are asked to sign-on with multiple factors of authentication. For example:

• password
• smartcard
• fingerprint
• One-time password

International Standards

The International Standard ISO/IEC 17799 covers data security under the topic of information security, and one of its cardinal principles is that all stored information, i.e. data, should be owned so that it is clear whose responsibility it is to protect and control access to that data.
