Subscriber Data and Management
PowerDMARC limits its personnel’s access to subscriber data as follows:
- Requires unique user access authorization through secure logins and passwords, including multi-factor authentication for Cloud Hosting administrator access;
- Limits the subscriber data available to PowerDMARC personnel on a “need to know” basis;
- Restricts access to PowerDMARC’ production environment by PowerDMARC personnel on the basis of business need;
- Encrypts user security credentials for production access; and
- Prohibits PowerDMARC personnel from storing subscriber data on electronic portable storage devices such as computer laptops, portable drives and other similar devices.
- PowerDMARC logically separates each of its subscribers’ data and maintains measures designed to prevent subscriber data from being exposed to or accessed by other customers.
Data Encryption
PowerDMARC provides industry-standard encryption for subscriber data as follows:
- Implements encryption in transport and at rest;
- Uses strong encryption methodologies to protect subscriber data, including AES 256-bit encryption for subscriber data stored in PowerDMARC’ production environment; and
- Encrypts all subscriber data located in cloud storage while at rest.
