One important thing related to this innovative service is the security concerns, and for this the company said that service has received ISO 27001, SAS 70 Type II and SysTrust as security certifications. It also offers SSL, single sign-on, identity confirmation, and anti-phishing tools. Secure access is also strengthened by the user and role-based security and row-level data security.
