Our website data and personal information are securely stored via A2 Hosting Server in an encrypted form located in Arizona, Michigan, Amsterdam, and Singapore.  A2 Hosting is an independent company offering ultra-reliable web hosting data for online businesses and websites. Learn more about A2 Hosting Privacy Policy and Data Center.

How We Protect Our Website Data and Your Data With A2 Hosting Server?

Our website uses SSL (Secure Socket Layer) certificate encryption for the secure transmission of data provided by A2 Hosting.  SSL enhances our website or any website’s security by providing two important features, such as encryption and authentication.  

According to A2 Hosting – 

Encryption means that the data sent or being transmitted between our website and users are unreadable by others.  By accessing our website in connection with SSL (our URL begins with https://), the webserver and web browser exchange encrypted information.  

When SSL is installed on a web server, it activates the padlock and the https protocol and enables secure connections from a web server to a browser.  SSL is most importantly used to secure credit or debit card details and transactions, data transfers, and logins through a website.

Therefore, your data is securely encrypted and protected.

Authentication means that our visitors can trust us and be confident that they are seeing and using our site with security and encryption implementations.  

A2 Hosting also uses SSL certificate encryption along with more advanced security systems in its data center worldwide.  A2 Hosting’s advanced security systems are Perpetual Security, which contains several features such as KernelCare, HackScan, Brute Force Defence, and a Dual Firewall that helps proactively protect our website data and your data from malicious actors or attackers.

KernelCare is a software extension installed on all A2 Hosting servers part of Perpetual Security in order to enhance Linux kernel security.  

HackScan is an exclusive feature for A2 Hosting Servers and customers that prevents all hacking attempts and helps protect accounts from malware before they can harm our website data.

A2 Hosting Data Centers are also SSAE 16 certified, which is an additional robust security system in place in order to protect our website data and your personal data.

Their worldwide physical data center security measures also include the following:

  • The parking lot is securely gated and requires a security key to enter 
  • They need a security key to be able to enter their data center
  • They also need a security key in order to access a fully enclosed locked server rack
  • It has video surveillance

A2 Hosting also exclusively owns all of its web servers.  That means that each server is high-powered, ultra-reliable, expertly tuned by their team of engineers and they monitor their web servers 24/7/365.  This way we can and you can also be confident that our website, files, and data are securely hosted securely at all times by A2 Hosting.  

What Data Breach Procedures We Have In Place?

In case of a data or security breach by malware or attackers, we will take reasonable action as soon as possible.

Step 1: Attempt to contain the breach

The first step would be to contain the breach as much as possible.  By acting quickly, we can potentially limit its reach.

We will reset all our passwords, disable network access for affected computers, and recall or delete false information.

By shutting down or separating individual sections of our site should also help.  By following this first step should effectively contain the breach, and therefore we can deal with it in isolation.

Step 2: Assess the level of damage

We will investigate the attack, investigate the affected areas of our site, and also assess any damage it has caused.  This will help us establish whether there’s any malware left behind, or if there are any remaining cracks in our security system.  

  • During our investigation process, we will keep the following questions in mind: 
  • Investigate how sensitive is the breached data
  • Was the attack targeted at a particular area of our site?
  • Was the attack a result of human error, or something more serious?
  • Are any loss of any data can be restored?

Step 3: Notify those who are affected

We will always be transparent and notify everyone by explaining if there was a security breach in our website data.  We will send out emails and publish them on our social media.

Step 4: Perform a Security Audit

Once the breach has been dealt with, we will perform an audit of our existing security measures and identify any areas that can be improved to prevent future data breaches or attacks from succeeding.

What rights you have over your data?
