DATA SECURITY FOR DIGITAL MARKETING

We know how critical data security is these days. Zymplify’s platform is hosted by a UK based data-centre. The Zymplify application is protected by a firewall and data exchanged between yourselves and the application is encrypted in transit. We utilise the services of an independent third-party professional certification company to perform penetration testing, to validate our data security policies and practices. See below for more details.

Does Zymplify encrypt data in transit?

The connection to this site is encrypted and authenticated using a strong protocol (TLS 1.0, 1.1, 1.2), a strong key exchange (ECDHE_RSA with P-256), a strong cipher (AES_128_GCM) and 2,048-bit keys.


Is Zymplify protected by a firewall?

Yes. Config Server Firewall (or CSF) is an advanced firewall for Linux distributions and Linux based VPS. In addition to the basic functionality of a firewall – filtering packets – CSF includes other security features, such as login/intrusion/flood detections etc.
