SECURITY

Neu Media Technology LLP exercises strict security in confidence to limit the exposure of the project both internally within NMT where only designated developers, project managers, and support staff have access to the client's system during implementation and externally with the client where access to shared material is limited by department as per the client's instructions. Access to the deployment environment is strictly controlled with due process and security enforcement (e.g. access via signed certificate files, logged and limited engineer access, etc.). Database security is practiced where clients data are stored on a secure, dedicated database with independent instances and are isolated from one another. For system security, all cloud servers services are running hardened Linux distributions with up-to-date security patches.
