Data Security Services – Protecting Your Data As We Protect Our Own

1. Data Security Services – Protecting Your Data As We Protect Our Own DataForceTM maintains a secure, independent network for survey projects and client data. We are committed to provide data security services protecting your data as we protect our own. Authorized Access to Data Servers Our domain servers are behind a hardware firewall, which ensures that there is no outside access and extremely limited internal access (administrator only) from DataForce’s internal domain. Our secure FTP (SFTP) server provides a place where files can be securely and quickly exchanged. It requires the use of trusted encryption schemes for all connecting clients. All outgoing data is sent directly from behind our firewall with the preferred client protocol. Our SFTP server folders are continuously monitored by a transaction manager that moves, and if necessary decrypts, incoming files to an appropriate protected location behind our firewall; the original file is then deleted. Restricted Access to Data via Computer Computer access to data of any kind is restricted by login. Levels of access are controlled by security settings. For example, an operator with only viewing needs will not be given appending rights, and so on. Authenticated users are subject to a password policy, which requires all users to maintain passwords that meet minimum security requirements and provides them with access to only the specific data for which they are authorized. DataForce enforces a strict requirement that users change their passwords on a regular basis. Read More On Forms Processing services, Project consulting services
