STRONG SECURITY

STARTS FROM WITHIN.

At Terra, our top-of-the-line hardware and software applications function within a comprehensive information security management system (ISMS) that guards your data from unauthorized access, alteration, and loss. It’s a holistic approach—and highly effective.  

From the perimeter, our robust network security system is further bolstered by Fortinet’s advanced infrastructure and next-generation firewalls. Intrusion prevention, anti-malware, and web filtering capabilities are all powerful features of these technologies.  

On the encryption front, we adhere to stringent protocols that ensure your information remains secure and confidential, even as it moves across networks or into system storage. Employee devices are managed entirely through Microsoft Intune, which implements antivirus updates, disk encryption, firewall integrity checks, and real-time event logging to guard against potential threats.  

Our IT security team also maintains a watch for emerging vulnerabilities with frequent and rigorous penetration tests for our hardware and software. Their vigilance is enhanced with automated penetration scans via the Astra suite. 

We’re serious about protecting your data—and our infrastructure and software are only the beginning. Read on for more about our security policies and protocols.

let's keep this between us.

protocols for people & privacy

Our clients hail from a broad spectrum of industries, and the informational assets they place in our care are equally diverse. Our infrastructure and software can be trusted to secure that data, no matter its size or scope—and so can our people, thanks to the protocols we enforce to ensure the right team members are working with your data in the right way.  

Those protocols begin with our onboarding process, as Terra employees and contractors submit to thorough background checks and enter into strict nondisclosure agreements (NDAs). From the moment we get to work, our operations on local and cloud-based servers are actively logged and monitored by our IT security team.  

Our staff and contractors are well-versed in our security protocols, thanks to the information security training and assessments we conduct on an ongoing basis. Similarly, our vendors are required to comply with our security regulations, which include submitting to regular security audits. 

Finally, regulatory compliance is an essential component of our data security systemWe follow rigorous data classification and retention policies that comply with key legal regulations including HIPAA, GDPR and COPPA. These policies ensure that data is handled appropriately across all jurisdictions in which we operate.
