Our Application Security
SSL
Our servers have SSL Certificates signed by Godaddy, so all data transferred between the users and the service is encrypted. The encryption is the same as that used for internet banking.
User Access
No one has access to your organization unless invited by you and with a level of user permission selected by you. You can remove any invited users whenever you want.
Your Support Accountant has a default permission to view and edit your account, but it's for support purposes only and based on the plan you choose.
User Passwords
We are currently doing our own encryption, which is used to retrieve the Password. We are currently doing this to avoid resetting passwords everytime.
Physical Security
Our servers are located within Rackspace. Access is restricted to authorized Rackspace staff by a combination of biometric systems and 24/7 onsite security guards, and is continually audited to meet SAS 70 Type II standards.
Data Protection
We run offsite backups nightly, full backups weekly and transaction log backups of our database every 24 minutes so we can immediately recover your data if necessary.
Bank Feed Security
Bank Feeds are secured by Yodlee Inc.
Yodlee uses the following components to protect your data:
# Data and Password Encryption
# Network Intrusion Detection Systems
# Physical Security Measures
# Rigorous Audits and Inspections
How this is better than any desktop software's protection
With Reach, your data isn't stored on your computer - if your laptop crashes, or gets lost, or stolen, all your data remains completely safe and unaffected.
By allowing our support accountant or financial advisor to have secure access to your data within Reach, it's much more secure than emailing your accounting data files or sending out discs with your data on it.
Here are some simple steps you can take to stay protected:
1. Create a password nobody can guess.
2. Don't share your password with anybody.
3. Don't store your password in your computer.
4. Keep your browser software up to date.
5. Make sure you only login at http://reachaccountant.com/login.php
