Security
Right from the onset, BethelApp was designed with security in mind. Our codes were written with the best standards and practices. Our QA and cyber security team have done a great job in ensuring our data with us is safe and is not accessible by any hacker in the world. Additionally, our infrastructure is built in such a way that every church’s data is separated from another. So, if a church’s account is compromised, it does not affect every church on the platform. Every stored password is not known to us even in the database and ONLY known to you. We make use of SiteLock to provide security solutions to automatically find and fix security threats on our server against cyberthreats.
Your database is not accessible through any public port or network at any given time. Access to our server is given to specific staff to access using SSH keys and no one has access to the server directly.
We set a limit to the number of incorrect logins a user might have. This is done to prevent unauthorized access to your account by someone who tries guessing your password. Once the try limit is reached, the account is blocked and only the church admin or our support staff can help unlock the account.
We backup the entire site daily and snapshots are taken at intervals throughout the day so you never lose your data at any given time. Our servers get the latest security patches from our provider. Once subscribed, you get access to the most recent updates the application uses. Our system is subjected to regular security audits by our 3rd party security professionals.
We are a Level 1 PCI compliant company in handling payment. Your Credit Card or banking information are NEVER stored in our platform. Either when you subscribe to any of our plans or your church members making a donation, your payment information is stored on Stripe, PayPal or PayStack. Your Credit Card information is processed through any of these payment platforms and never hits our servers. ONLY limited information is stored such as the last four digits of your card number when a payment is made. This is done to enable us to provide support while making payment.
Your connection to our BethelApp’ s platform is encrypted using the latest industry standard bank-grade TLS encryption.
