Our organization undergoes independent third-party assessments to test our security and compliance controls.

We perform independent third-party penetration at least annually to ensure that the security posture of our services is uncompromised.

Password Managers

All company issued laptops utilize a password manager for team members to manage passwords and maintain password complexity.

Annual Risk Assessments

We undergo at least annual risk assessments to identify any potential threats, including considerations for fraud.

Vendor Risk Management

Vendor risk is determined, and the appropriate vendor reviews are performed prior to authorizing a new vendor.
