Invoice Quick – Security Statement.

Here at Invoice Quick, we’ve gone to extraordinary measures to ensure your data is safe, secure and available only to you. Because we know our customers expect the very best security, we use some of the most advanced technology available today. Our Development team have extensive backgrounds working in application design and database environments for FTSE 100 Blue Chip companies, where security is vital. So, before we even started designing Invoice Quick, we knew that security was absolutely key. That’s why we spent a great deal of time building it in right from scratch.

Your Card Details.

Invoice Quick does not hold your credit card details on our databases. These details are stored exclusively by the financial organisations that process your transactions. Our payment providers and bank have fully checked our credentials and have approved us as secure, trustworthy and reliable. We use SagePay (www.sagepay.com) as our chosen payment service provider. SagePay provides secure online credit card payment solutions for thousands of online businesses and has achieved the highest level of compliance under the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard. By adhering to the most stringent levels of fraud screening, they ensure that your details remain secure throughout the transaction process We also use Streamline, the leading provider of merchant accounts. Their tried and trusted technology enables us to provide our clients with a reliable, fast and efficient service.

Technical Stuff.

We want to reassure you how we keep your data absolutely safe, so here’s a quick look at some of our integrated security measures.

128 Bit Secure Socket Layer (SSL) Encryption.

When you access Invoice Quick we ensure your information is fully protected. We use security certification to verify our identity credentials to your internet browser. We use GeoTrust as our certification provider. This forms part of the SSL Key handshake. Basically, SSL means that your data is massively encrypted and scrambled when it is sent from your browser through to us and on to our bankers. Look for the padlock symbol on your Internet browser, and the letters ‘https:’ at the start of the web address. SSL is a cryptographic protocol that provides secure communications on the Internet. It allows applications to communicate across a network in a way designed to prevent eavesdropping, tampering, and message forgery.

Firewalls.

All the servers that your Invoicing data is stored upon are fully protected by firewalls, ensuring your data is secure and monitored 24 hours a day. Firewalls are dedicated pieces of hardware/software, which inspect network traffic passing through them, and regulate the flow of information between computer networks at different trust levels.

Backups.

If you’re storing your valuable Invoicing information on your business computers hard disc, then you’re going to lose all that data if the disc fails! Even if you’ve got your data tucked away in a spreadsheet or word document, a simple corruption in the file can cause that data to be irretrievable. With Invoice Quick, we mirror your data so backups are continuous, minute by minute. We also backup your data on a daily basis and store it away on separate servers. This is for your benefit, as well as ours. We want to be able to sleep peacefully at night too!! Consequently, if you drop your laptop or your hard drive blows up, your invoice and client data is sitting safe and secure on our servers.

Managed hosting.

We designed Invoice Quick to make invoicing much less of a chore for you, so you can focus on what you do best, i.e., your business. In much the same way, our team want to focus on creating the best customer experience for you, and we appreciate that we are not experts in managed hosting, so we get the experts to do that for us. Our server providers utilize the most up to date security measures to ensure the safety of data stored on their network of servers. They deploy ‘up to the minute’ software programs for scanning systems and networks for obtrusive invaders, spammers, hackers, and other harmful problems such as trojans, worms and viruses They also have uninterruptable power supplies, in-built network redundancy and massive amounts of bandwidth to ensure you can always get to your valuable invoicing data, wherever you are in the world.

Security Patching.

Additionally, our server team make sure that the operating systems we use are always at the latest version, with the most up to date security patches available. This ensures you have the most secure system possible at any given time.

The Invoice Quick Application.

We’ve already mentioned that security is fundamental to our design and development processes. Our previous work with Blue Chip companies has taught us how to design and architect complex systems with security as the prime consideration. Of course, if you really want to get into the technical nitty gritty, our development team would be delighted (they’re true techies tho!) to discuss design and security hot topics with you.
