Encryption

Protected while moving and while stored.

Strong encryption protocols help protect information across web access, APIs and platform storage.

At rest AES-256

Sensitive customer data at rest is encrypted using the Advanced Encryption Standard, with controlled key management.

The technical detail

How the platform protects your information.

Open each section for a concise explanation of the safeguards supporting Adviser CRM.

Data centres and physical security

Zoho operates data centres across multiple regions. Facilities use restricted personnel access, approval processes, access logging, surveillance and physical safeguards such as power redundancy, cooling and fire prevention.

Adviser CRM accounts are hosted within the applicable Zoho data-centre environment. Platform documentation identifies primary and secondary facilities to provide redundancy.

Network security and monitoring

Layered network controls include firewalls, segmented environments, monitoring, change reviews and a dedicated Network Operations Centre. Development and testing systems are separated from production infrastructure.

DDoS mitigation, intrusion detection, rate limiting and filtering help protect service availability and identify suspicious activity.

Application security

Secure development practices include authorised change management, secure coding guidance, automated analysis, vulnerability scanning and manual review. Application-layer controls are designed to mitigate common threats such as SQL injection and cross-site scripting.

Backups and disaster recovery

The underlying platform uses scheduled backups, encrypted backup storage, data replication and resilient storage. Primary and secondary data-centre arrangements support continuity if infrastructure becomes unavailable.

We also recommend that customers periodically export their Adviser CRM data and retain their own business continuity copy.

Malware, spam and abuse protection

Automated scanning, threat intelligence and detection systems help identify malicious files and abusive activity. Email services use authentication mechanisms including SPF, DKIM and DMARC where applicable.

Incident management and notification

Security incidents are investigated, tracked and closed with corrective action. Where an incident affects a customer, relevant information and recommended actions are communicated through the appropriate channel.

Security concerns reported to support@advisercrm.co.nz are treated as a priority.

Data retention and disposal

Service data is retained while an Adviser CRM account remains active and is subsequently removed according to the applicable account, backup and platform retention processes. Storage devices that reach end of life are securely erased or physically destroyed through controlled disposal procedures.

Shared responsibility

We protect the platform. You control your users.

Security works best when strong infrastructure is paired with good practices inside each advice business.

01Use unique accounts for every team member.
02Enable multi-factor authentication wherever available.
03Review permissions when roles or responsibilities change.
04Export and retain business continuity copies of key data.
