Rest assured that here at Felix we take security and compliance very seriously. We are ISO/IEC 20071:2013 certified, but what does this mean? Here’s what you need to know.
ISO/IEC 27001:2013 (also referred to as ISO 27001) is the international standard for information security, which looks at how organisations manage their information security by addressing people, processes and technology against standards and best practice approaches. Felix is ISO 27001 certified, which means we are recognised worldwide for having information security best practices, and we are continuously subject to audits and reviews to ensure our accreditation is upheld on an ongoing basis.
To meet this standard, there are various security and compliance measures we need to sustain, and below is the most important information that you need to know to ensure that your data is secure with Felix.
Felix uses an industry-leading Web Application Firewall (WAF) to carefully monitor traffic and filter traffic from unsecured or suspicious sources, ensuring the protection of your data.
End-to-end encryption is applied, so that a malicious attacker cannot read content if they were to intercept a communication. We adhere to TLS (Transport Layer Security) 1.2 which is an encryption protocol designed to keep data secure when being transferred over a network, and across our application infrastructure.
Felix has various network security controls that cover security design and requirements, network segregation, wireless and public networks, remote access and perimeter security. Through the utilisation of these controls, you can take comfort in knowing that effective measures are in place that allow Felix to deliver SaaS services to you and your vendors on a protected network.
