Protection from Unauthorized Access, Data Loss and Corruption
· Logical separation of personal data and PII on information systems. All databases are kept separate and dedicated to preventing corruption and overlap. We have multiple layers of logic that segregate user accounts from each other;
· Account data is mirrored and regularly backed up off site;
· Access controls to maintain appropriate segregation of duties and ensure authorized role-based access to information resources on a need-to-know and least privilege basis;
· Complex passwords, changed on a regular basis, and stored and transmitted in a secure manner. FunnelGuard Inc. account passwords are redirected to an authentication provider that delivers a consistent login experience, centralized feature and security management with minimal application-level impact. Our own staff can't even view your passwords. If you lose your password, it can't be retrieved – it must be reset;
· Device and software management controls to guard against viruses and other malicious or unauthorized software;
· Information system and software patching consistent with manufacturer recommendations;
· Intrusion detection and prevention systems to guard against unauthorized information system access;
· Data loss and leakage prevention to guard against accidental or unauthorized disclosure;
· Encryption of personal data and PII stored on all electronic devices and, where reasonable, information systems. All login pages (from our website) pass data via Transport Layer Security* (or TLS). In addition, the entire FunnelGuard Inc. application is encrypted with TLS;
· Audit logging that records user and system activities;
· Login pages and logins via the FunnelGuard Inc. API have brute force protection; and
· We perform regular external security penetration tests throughout the year using different vendors. The tests involve high-level server penetration tests, in-depth testing for vulnerabilities inside the application, and social engineering drills.
*Transport Layer Security (or TLS) is a cryptographic protocol that provides secure (encrypted) communication for data exchanged over the Internet between two organizations.
Data Center Security
· FunnelGuard Inc. is built on the AWS cloud and DigitalOcean, and we maintain our data in United States data centers.
· We have flexibility through AWS to store data in other regions should our client have a specific request. Our data centers manage physical security 24/7 with biometric scanners.
· We have DDOS mitigation in place at all of our data centers.
Payment System Security
· FunnelGuard Inc.'s credit card processing vendor uses security measures to protect your information both during the transaction and after it is complete. Our vendor has been audited by a PCI-certified auditor and is certified to PCI Service Provider Level 1. This is the most stringent level of certification available in the payments industry. To accomplish this, they use the best-in-class security tools and practices to maintain a high level of security.
