Global's Security Measures

Are "Honeypots" On Your Software Provider's Security Checklist?

In an age when security breaches seem to become an increasingly common occurrence, Global's security standards remain second to none. Global is diligent in maintaining the most rigorous security practices, including the strategic use of Honeypots: programming decoys designed to lead hackers down the wrong rabbit hole. As they attempt to hack bogus data and systems, the system tracks their activity to expose hacking tactics and strategies. This allows IT professionals to improve system security without compromising the integrity of their systems and data.

Our cloud-based software systems provide clients with tools to perform extensive background screening and verifications for employment screening, tenant screening, volunteer work, etc. Because our software connects directly to sensitive consumer information, security must be the first priority.

Global's security framework consists largely of the following checklist of tactics to prevent, secure, and protects its systems and consumer data. This list is one of the more comprehensive security checklists in the industry, and rivals that of any technology provider. 

> Application servers imaged daily

If a server that houses data fails the first barrier of security, we replace it within a matter of hours. There is no downtime; replacements are immediate without loss of data or impact to the customer.

>  Honeypots / Deception Technologies

We use deception technologies and traps to proactively detect and fight potential intrusions, and use the collected data to study and enhance our security systems.

>  Intelligent threat detection and remediation

We not only stay abreast of security best practices and trends; we proactively work to find ways to keep our network and data safe. Utilizing services that analyze billions of events, from clicks, log-ins, and browsing activity, we effectively identify and block malicious activity.

>  Reputation lists & shared threat detection

We utilize a system to block approximately 20 million known malicious IP addresses.

>  Security as code

Automation means less room for error. We automate security best practices whenever possible.

>  PCI, SOC2, EI3PA Audits

We utilize multiple rigorous third-party audits to ensure best practices are being followed.

>  Daily releases

We use an agile release model, continuously releasing updates to ensure current software. We move and breathe updates.

>  Center for Internet Security (CIS) Benchmarks

We don’t skimp when it comes to configuring application servers; we follow rigorous guidelines to safeguard our systems.

>  Strong data encryption

To keep data secure, we use industry grade encryption.

>  Strong Hashing

Not your hash(brown) breakfast! Rather, a rigorous algorithm that is used for cryptographic functions and increased security. 

>  MFA

We enforce Multi Factor Authentication(MFA) internally whenever possible. Users are required to authenticate using a code sent via email, SMS, etc.

>  Penetration testing

We employ simulated cyber attack testing by third parties on a recurring basis.

>  Peer review

All code is peer reviewed for security and best practices.

>  Static code analysis

We automatically scan for vulnerabilities and best practices as an added layer for quality and secure code.

>  Secure coding training

Our development team consists of highly skilled, creative, and innovative individuals. Every team member is also required to take secure coding training on a recurring basis. We work to stay ahead of security developments.

As technology changes and evolves, we are committed to staying ahead of security threats.
