CoThrive protects your data by ensuring that only authorized users can access it.

• Administrators assign data security rules that determine which users have access to which data.
• All data is encrypted in transfer and access is governed by strict password security policies (6 character minimum with at least 1 alpha, 1 numeric and 1 special character). All passwords are stored in MD-5 hash format.
• Applications are monitored for security violation attempts.
• Incremental data backups are performed every 6 hours. Complete backups are performed daily to both disk and tape, with tape providing a second level of physical protection.
• CoThrive utilizes a high-performance multi-tenant SaaS system architecture that prevents one organization from seeing another organization's data, unless data is explicitly shared.
• An audit trail of all system access and data updates is continuously maintained.

CoThrive’s security standards are consistent with industry best practices.

• Datacenter originally built as NEBS-Compliant central office and upgraded to a data center.
• Multiple carrier internet backbones using only premium tier-1 backbone providers.
• Border gateway protocol (BGP4) routing.
• Physically independent fiber entry points.
• Authorized personnel must pass biometric scanning to reach CoThrive system cages.
• Exterior entrances feature silent alarm systems that notify law enforcement in the event of suspicion or intrusion.
• 24/7/365 staffed network operations center.
• SAS-70 II and PCI level 1 certified.

Multilevel security products from leading security vendors and proven security practices ensure network security.

• To prevent malicious attacks through unmonitored ports, external firewalls allow only http and https traffic on ports 80 and 443, along with ICMP traffic.
• Switches ensure that the network complies with the RFC 1918 standard, while address translation technologies further enhance network security.
• IDS sensors protect all network segments.
