Total Security
Threats from the Outside
Sendouts takes multiple steps to ensure your data is protected. Your data is held in a secured SQL Server database housed at our data center, SunGard®. The only point of access to the SQL Servers is through our firewall, which is managed by SunGard® around the clock.
Sendouts has employed SunGard’s managed firewall service as the first line of defense in safeguarding your data against unauthorized access. SunGard’s centralized team of security management professionals, utilizing Cisco and Check Point/Nokia equipment, provides a powerful solution for network protection. Cisco and Check Point/Nokia were selected specifically for their proven track record, performance history and overall reliability. SunGard’s team consists of Cisco, Check Point and Global Incident Analysis Center (GIAC) certified security technicians, who are dedicated to maintaining network security in a state-of-the-art Security Operations Center. This solid security platform allows SunGard’s managed security team to deliver the best available security management.
The Sendouts Pro client application accesses the SQL Server through the Internet and our managed firewall. To run the Sendouts Pro application, users are required to log in with their username and password, and all communication between the Sendouts Pro application and the SQL Server database is encrypted and compressed.
Threats from Within
Because the biggest security threat resides in a firm’s own users, at least one user is designated as an administrator of a firm’s Sendouts Pro account. Administrators can add and remove active user accounts at any time and only active users with a username and password can access the application and data. Administrators can also apply restrictions that limit a user’s access to data within the Sendouts Pro application.
Our security can be as flexible or restrictive as you desire. For example, users can be restricted from performing mail merges, exporting data or viewing reports. Specific records can be restricted to private, read-only or editable modes based on the user or security grouping. The key is to create a balance between the flexibility needed to perform the job optimally and the restrictions you feel are necessary to protect your data.
