WHAT IS SSL?
SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) is the ability to create an encrypted connection between your web server and the visitor’s browser, ensuring secure data exchange between the two sides, preventing them from being intercepted by malicious users.
The server that hosts and serves our website is certified and bound under the new GDPR regulations.
- Their staff have been trained to understand their role in complying with data protection, our internal policies and processes.
- They have checked all their systems, processes and services to meet GDPR requirements, especially in terms of the security of our data and third party services.
- Allow only specific staff members to access servers and perform strictly defined processes.
- The datacenter staff has physical access to the servers but they have strict protocols to make sure they do so only if they ask for members of the technical support team and this request will only be done in cases where a visual inspection of a server or physical maintenance on the server itself.
- Data (webpages, bases, emails) are stored only on dedicated servers and not in cloud vps, so they have no third party access (eg infrastructure managers).
- Systems are constantly being checked for security gaps and we are rapidly upgrading the applications we use. For transparency on upgrades, we publish the history in ChangeLog.
- In the unlikely event of a violation of their system, we are obliged to inform you within 72 hours of GDPR, but our goal is to inform you in less than 24 hours.
- The logs files of both the web server and other services (eg mail server) are kept for the minimum amount of time required to complete the original purpose and for the security of our infrastructure.
- The connection to their infrastructures is SSL, SSH, SFTP and FTP with TLS.
- Our procedures will be continuously improved beyond May 25, 2018
