My Docs Online Security


The My Docs Online development team is comprised of former Senior Principal Computer Scientists from a leading Internet security firm. Their primary security goals in the design of the My Docs Online product were to protect the integrity of the user database, and to prevent access to your files or documents without your knowledge or consent.

My Docs Online Users have the option of specifying that all their sessions use Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) processing, which uses the same Internet-standard encryption for ALL My Docs Online processing that is normally used only for financial transactions. Opting for all-SSL sessions ensures that files being uploaded and downloaded across the Internet are encrypted for added privacy.

The My Docs Online site has several layers of data security:

  • The My Docs Online web servers are deployed using a dual-homed configuration, thus providing specialized, application-specific firewall protection to our private network. This extra layer of security is specifically designed to keep your files and other information safe.

  • All user files are safely stored on the My Docs Online private network servers. These servers are machines that are physically isolated from the public Internet, for security purposes.

Physical security is provided by AT&T Enhanced Network Services in one of their world-class hosting centers — a "hardened" facility providing seamless connectivity, guaranteed uptime, mirroring capability, and security.

All files are stored on triply-redundant storage subsystems, providing exceptional data integrity.

My Docs Online does not disclose details regarding hardware or software used, to protect its servers, customer files and information.
