iCrederity takes reasonable measures to help secure our service, including:
Secure Socket Layer SSL high-grade encryption (128 or 256 bit) is used to secure all sensitive data transmissions.
iCrederity servers are protected from intrusion. The actual hardware is hosted in 24/7 secured and power redundant geographically dispersed facilities located in the United States. The servers are protected by both hardware and software firewalls and are McAfee HackerSafe certified.
Where possible, data is stored independently of personally identifiable information. iCrederity also negotiates with verifying authorities to minimize the amount of data required in order to complete a verification and does not unnecessarily retransmit sensitive data once a verification has been completed.
Operations facilities are secured with physical security and alarm systems, 24/7 surveillance, and biometrically controlled entryways. Personnel are carefully screened, background checked, and bound to confidentiality, and human access to data is limited on a need-to-know basis only.
iCrederity periodically reviews and revises its security practices in order to improve them.
iCrederity is a member of and conforms to the security protocol of NAPBS, a national organization of professional background screening agencies. iCrederity is also a member of ASIS International, a security organization, and is ISO certified. iCrederity is also an authorized Designated Agent of the Homeland Security Department's employment eligibility program. As mentioned previously, our servers are McAfee HackerSafe certified.
