Website security is an issue we take seriously. Our facilities are certified by the US Government to the SECRET level and personnel have up to TOP SECRET clearances.
Like any project, we can assess the need for various security protection based upon the type of information on a website, the likelihood of any potential hacking, and any past attempts the you may have experienced. In almost every case, the below listed features, all provided at no extra cost, are more than sufficient for your needs.
Please note, like many security issues that we have dealt with in the past, security is more often than not only as good as the weakest link. So all the below listed security measures can be rendered useless, and historically are rendered useless, by the careless distribution of passwords and account log-in information by people.
