Brass Tacks Munitions - Secure Shopping

Secure Shopping

We take security very seriously and have taken and continue to spend resources to ensure you the most secure shopping experience that we can manage.

Hackers are everywhere and always trying to break into systems. It never ends, they are always trying new tactics and various ways to break in. Its a game of one-upsmanship where the web site operator must continue to be vigilant of attacks.

Steps that we have taken and continue to do to help keep you safe and our data secure include:

• 1. Install a Firewall
  Just like the firewall protecting any of your devices, firewalls protect web sites by restricting access from the outside making it much more difficult for unauthorized access.
• 2. SSL Certificate
  Our Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) certificate provides authentication to ensure that we are who we say we are.
• 3. HTTPS
  Hyper Text Transfer Protocol Secure sockets (HTTPS) provides bidirectional encryption of data between a client (you) and server (us). This helps protect against hackers eavesdropping and tampering with or forging the contents of the communication.
• 4. Malware Monitoring
  Our web site is routinely scanned for malware.
• 5. Backups
  Daily backups of all data are made and a number of backups are retained.
• 6. Limited Access
  Direct or Administration access to the website and the database driving it are strictly controlled by authentication processes.
• 8. Updates
  Our software is kept up to date with the latest releases and patches.
• 9. Professional Support
  Because we aren't professional IT gurus, we hire true professionals to ensure that we have the tightest security in place as possible.
• 10. Ongoing Monitoring
  Our ISP monitors traffic to and from our web site which helps to identify an attack.
