Data security is a major issue for businesses. Data that is stored on the cloud is frequently targeted by attackers who may want to use your data for malicious activity. with this in mind we implement various security measures to ensure that your data is safe online.

SSL

We have implemented SSL level encryption on our website. The primary reason why SSL is used is to keep sensitive information sent across the Internet encrypted. This is important because the information you send on the Internet is passed from computer to computer to get to the destination server. Any computer in between you and the server can see your credit card numbers, usernames and passwords, and other sensitive information if it is not encrypted with an SSL certificate. When an SSL certificate is used, the information becomes unreadable to everyone except for the recipient server. This protects it from hackers and identity thieves.

Firewall

A firewall is a boundary or a wall to keep intruders from attacking the network.Our firewall is configured to inspect network traffic that passes between the network and the internet. We have assigned rules & protocols to the firewall to allow data to be shared. If the protocol isn’t included in the approved list it will destroy the packet of data and deny it from entering the network. We have implemented a firewall on or servers to ensure that attacks are blocked before any data is lost to attackers.

Back up

Data stored on Inhouse cloud accounting is backed up in multiple locations every minute. This ensures that in case of an attack , data is not lost to attackers, and it can be easily  retrieved.

Password Encryption

All passwords stored on the system are encrypted using OpenSSL and the AES-256-CBC cipher. Furthermore, all encrypted values are signed with a message authentication code (MAC) to detect any modifications to the encrypted string. This makes it very difficult to decrypt passwords once data has been lost to attackers.

Stable build

The system is built on Laravel 5.7 PhP framework. This allows the system to come with built in security features that are well  tested and implemented. Laravel by default protects the system from attacks such as SQL injection, Cross Site Request Forgery & Brute force attacks on login.

User role control

The system implements a permissions system whereby users can only access data that they are authorized to access. This helps protect your data from unauthorized access.

We are confident that with these measures in place, data on Inhouse is pretty well secured.
