Your Cyber Security
We are committed to ensuring that Secure My Treasures provides strong and robust security and safety, that complies with industry standards, when you are online. The following security protocols are implemented.
Three Factor Identification
We use three factor authentication to protect your information, ensuring that only authorised persons have access to Secure My Treasures.
Every time you log on to securemytreasures.com.au, you will be asked to provide your username and password/passphrase. A 6 digit number will be sent to your phone or email. You will type this number into the space provided on the log in screen.
You will then be asked to verify your identity. This takes a few minutes. Have one form of photo identification handy eg passport or driver’s license and be ready to take a selfie.
Once you have passed your identity check, you will be taken to the Chest building page.
We use bank grade security to verify the identity of every person, whether it is yourself or each of your Trustees, who logs onto www.securemytreasures.com. If the identity check fails that person will be prevented from accessing Secure My Treasures.
We encourage you to learn about common cyber threats and how to stay safe on the Australian Cyber Security Centre website https://www.cyber.gov.au/learn-basics/explore-basics/threats
Each year, we will remind you to update your Chests and pay your subscription fee online.
You must also be vigilant about security. We will never phone, SMS or email you to ask for your credit card information or payment or request that you provide additional information to substantiate your identity. We will never ask you to download a program from the Secure My Treasures website. We will never redirect you to any other website for any reason.
If you are contacted by anyone claiming to represent Secure My Treasures while asking for your password and/or money, we urge you to not respond. If the demand comes by phone, hang up, and call the police immediately.
Encryption
Industry standard data encryption is used in the Secure My Treasures database and all communication messages between your PC or laptop and the database will also be encrypted. This will ensure that valuable data is not accessed by those unauthorised to do so. The encrypted data will only be decrypted for viewing on your PC or laptop.
Security Protocols
Secure My Treasures is hosted by the world’s leading cloud provider, Amazon Web Services (AWS) and architected for the best security using leading industry standards.
Additional security protocols will be implemented for staff and contractors; independent security audits will be undertaken and there will be properly maintained separation between the production and development and testing environments including firewalls.
