Security

TADAccounting is committed to data integrity and confidentiality and trusts TADTechnology to provide the highest level protection at their state-of-the-art Network Operations Center. While TADAccounting provides accounting and bookkeeping services over the Internet, you can be confident that the highest security measures are in place with TADTechnology. From data encryption to a controlled access data facility, the following security measures guarantee that your data is safe.

1. TADTechnology uses 128 bit SSL security provided by GeoTrust to ensure secure and confidential client-server transactions while users are logged into their TADAccounting accounts. This means you can rest assured that communications (e.g. credit card numbers) between your browser and the TADTechnology servers are private and secure when the SSL session is activated.
   
   
2. TADTechnology internet and intranet network connections are firewalled and filtered to allow only permitted traffic.
   
   
3. Files on TADTechnology are locked using Microsoft® Windows security and permissions. TADTechnology authentication methods for logins use the Kerberos protocol which is among the most secure and reliable protocols for authentication.
   
   
4. TADTechnology constantly monitors Microsoft security updates for its systems and applies all necessary security patches.
   
   
5. TADTechnology performs regular in-house backups of data so that it can be restored if and when needed.
   
   
6. TADTechnology provides hard drive redundancy in case of hard drive failures and data clustering in case of server failures. With hard drive redundancy, a second hard drive takes over if one fails. With data clustering, data is replicated to a secondary server creating two sets of live data in case one server fails.
   
   
7. All TADTechnology servers and critical hardware are housed in a secure Internet Data Center that is designed expressly for keeping computers in a safe, clean, cool environment. Among other features, this facility provides the following security measures for hardware systems:
