Yes. We use the best possible security so that only you can access your writing. This comprises a combination of physical and code-based security:
- We use the same 2048-bit data encryption as used by banks for all data to and from our server.
- We protect your login by limiting the number of devices that can be used, meaning if an unknown computer is detected trying to log in, they will be refused entry.
- Our security protocol only allows access to the website server once per month for us to make any updates. Apart from that one brief random period per month, it is not possible for anyone to access our files.
- We use a website protection service called Wordfence. For the technical readers: "Wordfence includes an endpoint firewall and malware scanner that was built from the ground up to protect WordPress. Our Threat Defense Feed arms Wordfence with the newest firewall rules, malware signatures and malicious IP addresses it needs to keep your website safe. Rounded out by a suite of additional features, Wordfence is the most comprehensive security option available."
- If an attack is detected, then the website is locked down.
- The only uploads we allow from subscribers to the site for images are jpg, gif, tiff, pdf, and png files, to reduce the chance of malware being uploaded.
We monitor and regularly update our security to protect your data.
