In this day and age, privacy and security are of the utmost importance. As more and more of our personal information is stored digitally, customers are becoming far more aware and educated on how and where their data is being stored. Rightfully so, as many companies have suffered from hacks or leaks, which ruin the trust they have with their customers.
Here at QQ Solutions, we’ve kept our client’s and their customer’s information secured for over twenty-five years without a breach. Our agency management system is designed with privacy and security at the forefront. To do this, we had to utilize some of the most advanced technology available in the field of online security. Today we’ll show you exactly what is used to ensure your customer’s information is kept safe.
A Two-Tiered Approach to Security
In order to ensure top-level security to our clients, we have taken a two-tiered approach to our security. Our program, QQ Catalyst, is a cloud-based software that is not installed or loaded onto your agency’s computers. Instead it is utilized through an internet connection to the cloud. Knowing this, let’s explore how your security is maintained using QQCatalyst:
1. Tier One: Cloud-Based Security
The very concept of a cloud-based program provides a high level of security to the user and the information they input into the software. The issue of using a program that is physically installed into office computers is the potential for a computer to get stolen or hacked.
You could spend money on security programs, but even those aren’t as advanced as the ones used for cloud data centers. Instead of forcing unneeded costs on you, our program is stored safely in the Microsoft Azure cloud which is housed within a state-of-the-art Tier IV data center. These servers are monitored 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and 365 days each year.
2. Tier Two: Separated Web Hosting For Data
To further ensure the safety of our clients, we also utilize Amazon Web Services as a separate means of hosting all of the data inputted and utilized by QQCatalyst. By keeping the data and the application separated, we maximize security. AWS also employs a variety of tactics to ensure that the data hosted is safe and secure. For example, firewalls are used to create private networks within the cloud. This allows us to control who can access the data. Data encryption is also utilized in multiple forms to keep the data from being accessed by an unauthorized user.
Final Thoughts
Our focus here at QQ Solutions is innovation. We’ve done so in the field of security by separating the hosting for our data and our software, thereby increasing the strength of the program’s privacy and security for our clients. As always, we are focused on the well-being of our clients and we use our innovation to achieve that goal.
