For example, when you log in to your account in AssuriCare’s Member Services area, your session is immediately moved to pages utilizing SSL security. You remain within that SSL security for your entire session, until you log out or leave the Member Services pages. The SSL security protocol provides data encryption, server authentication, message integrity, and optional client authentication for a TCP/IP connection. AssuriCare has engaged the services of a trusted third party to provide periodic audits of our website security. We have installed layered firewalls and other security technologies to help prevent unauthorized access to our systems. Our data centers are maintained in a secure environment with appropriate security measures. Our employees are trained to understand the importance of confidentiality and are required to adhere to our privacy policies and procedures. Employees who violate these policies and procedures are subject to disciplinary action. We employ numerous practices to protect against the disclosure of information for purposes unrelated to the performance of our business functions or to individuals other than those who must use it in the course of their work activities. These practices include the use of password protection of computer files, e-mail and voice-mail, video surveillance, and other physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards.
