Website security

We use Drupal, a proven, secure CMS and application framework that stands up to the most critical internet vulnerabilities. Drupal is mature, stable and designed with robust security in mind. Our site support team (ag-prime.com) is in charge of monitoring and deploying any security updates on daily bases.

The connection between your browser and our website is encrypted using TLS v1.2 (Transport Layer Security protocol). It is the latest standard technology for keeping an internet connection secure by encrypting any data that is being sent between two systems, preventing criminals from reading and modifying any information transferred, including potential personal details.

HTTPS (Hyper Text Transfer Protocol Secure) appears in the URL when a website is secured by an SSL certificate. The details of the certificate, including the issuing authority and the corporate name of the website owner, can be viewed by clicking on the lock symbol on the browser bar.
