Securing customer information is a critical component of SPUDWEB's business value proposition. As an on demand service, security must be an integral part of both the design and operations of SPUDWEB. In order to accomplish this, SPUDWEB has included security in all levels of our technology and operations from the onset of the company. SPUDWEB's commitment is to invest in the technology, people, and process to ensure that data you have entrusted with us is safe, secure, and private. We believe that effective information security has much to do with people and processes as it does with technical protection measures. Here are the most important points that guide SPUDWEB security strategy: Security is multi-layered - it must be addressed at all layers - physical, application, data, etc. SPUDWEB is a service provider - the burden is on SPUDWEB to provide a secure service for our customers Whenever possible, we make our security model open and pluggable to accommodate customer-specific requirements such as 3rd-party authentication, user account management or primary storage encryption.
