Security Security

Is rekoop secure?

Very. The BlackBerry software only stores data using the on-board memory which means that any data is lost as soon as the device is sent a ‘kill’ command from the BES. Only headline client, matter and narrative information is stored on the device anyway so even if the device is stolen very little information can be obtained. Users are unable to download the entire PMS onto the device and can only upload clients one at a time. Our data centre is more secure than office environments, for example you can’t get in unless you pass the biometric iris scanning and rekoop follow best practice for security policy and procedure. Data is encrypted and it is impossible to access another customer’s data.
