allfiled uses a collection of industry standard security techniques to keep your information safe. Data is encrypted not only during transmission but also within the database itself. The platform itself is hosted with a class leading Internet Service Provider. Advanced intruder detection systems and multiple firewalls are in place to ensure any potential attacks are quickly detected and dealt with. The platform is continually updated with the latest security patches throughout the year, as soon as they are made available to us from the various software and hardware vendors.

allfiled is not a place to transact with your suppliers, it is for storing the information you need to manage them, like telephone and account numbers, start dates and reminders. Any purchases are made on the supplier's web sites so you will not have to store full credit card numbers, bank account details, passwords or other sensitive data.

The allfiled team also commission two separate security penetration testing companies to scan the platform throughout the year to ensure that security loop holes never creep into the platform or application. The source code for the application is also reviewed by an external security company to ensure that there are no possible security problems within the code itself.

The encrypted data is never placed on CDs or other removable storage media which eliminates one of the main reasons of data loss. Also access to the actual data store is limited to only those administrators that absolutely require access for systems management tasks.

While computer viruses, phishing e-mails that impersonate official bank messages, lost data discs and hackers dominate headlines, more than 90% of identity fraud starts off conventionally, with bank statements and utility bills taken from dustbins, stolen credit cards or careless password management.

"An insignificant portion of identity fraud actually starts with the Internet," says James Van Dyke, president of analyst group Javelin Strategy & Research. "The Internet always grabs the headlines, but it is poor management of documents and individuals close to the victim, such as family and friends, that commit most identity theft".
