#1. Is my web-based software / SaaS data secure?
When evaluating SaaS vendors for your government agency, it is important to make sure any SaaS provider you’re considering has detailed, rock-solid policies and procedures in place to guarantee the highest possible levels of:
- Physical security
- Network security
- Application security
- Internal systems security
- Operating systems security
- Third-party certification
BasicGov’s web-based / SaaS modules are developed and hosted on Salesforce.com cloud platform Force.com to ensure world-class security. Salesforce.com follows best-practice policies by seeking relevant third-party certification including ISO 27001, the SysTrust audit (the recognized standard for system security), and SysTrust SAS 70 Type II (an attestation for internal corporate controls).
