"Our Highest Priority
is Protecting Your Database"
To insure that your database is protected from unauthorized
access, we employ a number of security measures discussed
below.
◊Encryption
We
use the same encryption protocol (called SSL) that
electronic banking and credit card companies use to protect
your financial information. All communications between
your computer and our server are encrypted as they travel
over the Internet.
Encrypted
pages have a small locked Padlock icon usually at the
bottom of the page.
◊Highly Secure Facilities
We host your database with a world class web server
provider located in Harrisburg, Pa. Their facilities include:
Biometric Security Access Points, Motion Detection, 24
hour Camera Surveillance, 24 Hour Security Service, Access
Restricted to Employees Only, Redundant Power Sources,
Backup Generator, Redundant Internet Connections, Fire
Suppression System, Regular Tape Backups. Servers, routers,
switches, security system, and facility power are electronically
monitored 24 hours a day.
◊Access
to your Account
Access to your data is protected by login and password
authorization. You assign logins to your trusted staff
and volunteers. You can revoke logins at any time. We
require that you use a minimum of 6 character login names
and passwords.
◊Access
to Specific Areas of Your Database
You have complete control over which parts of your database
are available to whom. Using a straight forward "role"
assignment feature, you grant rights to each user on a
module by module basis. In this way, you can delegate
the total responsibility for church management to as many
or as few individuals as appropriate for your organization.
You can change these rights at any time.
◊Protecting
Your Computer
To maintain a high level of protection for your data
it is also key that you maintain a set of good practices
to ensure that the computer(s) you use are not vulnerable
to viruses and spyware. We highly recommend the following:
use of a firewall for any computer connected to
DSL, Cable or other "always on" connection
use of virus and spyware protection software
automatic or frequent updates to your operating
system to install security patches, etc
◊Summary
To protect your database, we offer a combination of
highly secure facilities and best practices. We want you
to be confident that you can depend on MembershipEdge
to provide you with the security and reliability you demand.
