Your Security

How Do We Protect Your Security?

WorkCompare.com has security measures in place to help protect the loss, misuse and alteration of the information under our control. All information is stored in a secure operating environment. When sending sensitive information across the Internet - including your login ID, password and purchasing information such as credit cards - we use Secure Socket Layer (SSL) encryption provided by Comodo (UserTrust.com). Credit card information entered on the Site is immediately transmitted to Authorize.com as described below, and no record of it is stored on the Site. Internally, all client information is protected with multiple security checks. Employee access to the system is limited to the functionality necessary for each person's job. Relevant employees are informed of our security policies and their access to applications and data on our network.

If you still do not feel comfortable about leaving your credit card information on our secured Web site, please contact our client service department at (626) 578-9353 and we'll be happy to help you with your order or subscription.

Firewall Technology. WorkCompare.com uses firewall technology as another layer of protection designed to prevent unauthorized access to or from a private network when connected to the Internet. All data passing into or out of our network must first pass through the firewall. The firewall reviews each piece of data to make sure it meets our security criteria. The firewall blocks any data that does not meet the security criteria.

The Storage of Your Information. WorkCompare.com stores your information on a database server, which is separate from our Web server. Even in the unlikely event that someone gains unauthorized access to our Web site, they could not access your data.
