TAD 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 TAD servers are private and secure when the SSL session is activated. TAD internet and intranet network connections are firewalled and filtered to allow only permitted traffic. Files on TAD are locked using Microsoft® Windows security and permissions. TAD authentication methods for logins use the Kerberos protocol which is among the most secure and reliable protocols for authentication. TAD constantly monitors Microsoft security updates for its systems and applies all necessary security patches. TAD 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. |
