Security and privacy are essential features of all Saropa services.
Secure web access with privacy measures in place to ensure that your information remains for your eyes only.
Saropa uses 128bit encryption on all data fields. This is the highest level of security available to internet users and the same measures used in banking and financial institutions.
We remain committed to your privacy and the security of your information. The following are the 4 pillars of our security policy:
Latest Security Technology
Saropa is committed to only using the latest technology in online security. Namely, the same security used by major bank and financial institutions. Not even our staff have access to your data.
With our state-of-the-art operations hub, Saropa is equipped with systems to maximize reliability and security, and ensure this site is operational 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. We guarantee 99.9% uptime. We are here to provide you with any information and support needed regarding our site.
For more information, please contact our security administrators and they can assist you with your inquiries: security@saropa.com
SSL (Secure Socket Layer) Encryption
Secure Socket Layer (SSL) is an extremely important feature to consider when choosing a web hosting plan. SSL is a method of ensuring that information entered through your web site is protected from prying eyes.
With SSL, information submitted on your web site is first encrypted, submitted securely over the Internet, and then decrypted on the receiving end. SSL is most commonly used for credit card transactions but it can be used to collect any sensitive data. By convention, the URLs of web pages that are transmitted using SSL start with https instead of http. This feature provides privacy, authentication and message integrity.
Intrusion Detection System
An Intrusion Detection System or IDS is a software/hardware tool used to detect unauthorized access to a computer system or network. This may take the form of attacks by skilled malicious hackers using automated tools. An ID is required to detect all types of malicious network traffic and computer usage.
This includes network attacks against vulnerable services, data driven attacks on applications, host based attacks such as privilege escalation, unauthorized logins and access to sensitive files, and other malicious software (viruses, Trojan horses and worms).
Strict Privacy Policy
Saropa adheres to and operates within Privacy Legislation. Information entered into the Saropa website is yours at all times and cannot be accessed, even by Saropa staff.
This statement discloses the privacy practices for Saropa Pty Ltd. Please note that because we are very sensitive to the privacy concerns of our home users, we have additional precautions in place to protect the personal information that consumers provide. If you are a home user, please review our Consumer Privacy Policy.
Saropa may ask you to provide information when you register as a customer or purchase a product from Saropa, download evaluation software, upgrades, or white papers, order email newsletters, respond to a marketing campaign, or to place orders on the website.

If it's secure, we currently use 22 bit SSL encryption, or better. If you are not sure how to check these browser settings, please email us security@saropa.com.
Although we regularly review developments in security and encryption, we do not guarantee that data and information transmitted over the Internet is totally secure.

Password Protection
Every piece of information entered into Saropa is encrypted and stored behind your personal password. Protecting your password is the key to ensuring no one has access to your personal
information. Do not write your password down and change it regularly. Your password can be recovered and reset at any time, but only by the owner of the registered email address. If you
require assistance with passwords, our support team will be able to help you.
Password Complexity
For your protection, the security policy for your Saropa account requires a password that passes a minimum level of complexity, including numbers, letters and symbols. It is very
important that you do not record you password anywhere that is insecure. This applies to both files on your computer and notes you might take for your wallet or filing cabinet. If you
must write down your password, then please use a safe or safety deposit box.
Extended Authentication
In order to access some functions within your account, the system will prompt you to enter additional information. This information may be secret questions or a code sent to your
mobile phone or security key.
