ABOUT US

GCL TECHNOLOGY

Information Security / Technology

Our technology infrastructure is hosted by Rackspace in a managed dedicated environment. Rackspace provides us with architecture reviews, infrastructure recommendations, security audits, and 24/7 monitoring. All of our servers are located in a secure dedicated facility behind a hardware load balancers and hardware firewalls. Rackspace undergoes security and architecture review with us regularly and routinely patches our servers with the latest software and security updates. All servers are security compliant at a minimum to the standards of the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS).

How We Protect Data

We encrypt all sensitive information (including but not limited to bank account information, social security numbers, etc.) stored in our database. Encryption is secured using the Advanced Encryption Standard / Rijndael-256 cipher, Cipher Block Chaining (CBC), and a salted authentication key. The database server storing sensitive information is not forward facing towards the web and connects only to our other servers on a LAN. Methods to encrypt and decrypt database information are isolated on separate processing servers, so the isolated database information would be useless without the decryption methods and keys.

SSL Security

All websites operated by Gulf Coast Leads, including posted data, lead generation sites, reporting interfaces, back-end monitoring are all encrypted with SSL security. All posts made from Gulf Coast Leads to third-party providers are similarly done exclusively via SSL.
