How Your Data Stays Safe: A Complete Guide to Online Security

In today’s digital world, individuals often share personal information online through login credentials, digital transactions, authentication via digital wallets, location sharing, check-ins on social media, and the online storage of sensitive documents. With all this personal data shared online, it is natural to worry about your data’s safety and protection from threats. From protecting your financial assets and safeguarding sensitive personal information to ensuring your final wishes are honoured, security is vital in every aspect of our lives. This is where data security plays a vital role, ensuring peace of mind in a world full of online risks.

What is Data Security?

Data security simply means protecting your personal information from being stolen, misused, or accessed without permission. Given the growing number of online threats, such as malicious hacking attempts trying to break into systems and scams designed to trick people into revealing sensitive information, it’s important for both individuals and businesses to  keep data safe.

At Mitt Arv, we understand that your data is not just information, it is your hard work, your memories and your peace of mind. That is why, we are committed to the highest security standards, ensuring that what matters most to you stays safe and protected. Our flagship products, Asset Vault and Emotional Will, are designed with advanced security measures to ensure that your data remains safe and accessible only to those you trust!

Why Does This Matter to You?

With cybercrimes increasing, everyone should be aware of data security. Hackers use different methods to steal personal information, which can lead to identity theft, financial loss or privacy breaches. That’s why, Mitt Arv takes extra steps to keep user data protected.

How Do Websites Keep Your Data Safe?

A fundamental and highly trusted protocol that websites implement for ensuring online security is HTTPS (Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure). If you have ever noticed a small padlock next to a website’s address in your browser, that means the site is using HTTPS. This encryption method ensures that any information you enter, like passwords or credit card details, stays private and is not accessible to hackers.

At Mitt Arv, HTTPS is used to protect sensitive user data, which encrypts data using SSL/TLS encryption, such as legal documents, wills and financial information. Whether you are uploading legal documents to Asset Vault or recording heartfelt messages in Emotional Will, HTTPS encryption guarantees that your data is only accessible to you and your designated recipients. This means that even Mitt Arv itself has no access and control over your personal data.

How Do Websites Verify Users?

To ensure only the right people access certain information, websites use authentication and authorization methods. One common method is JWT (Java web token). This is like a digital key that verifies your identity each time you log into a website or app.

At Mitt Arv, JWT helps users log in securely using platforms like Google, Facebook or Linkedin by acting as a digital proof of identity. This form of authentication is essential to ensure that only authorised users can access their accounts. Once logged in, the system checks the JWT to confirm the user’s identity and grant access to relevant data. This prevents unauthorised people from accessing private information.

How is Stored Data Kept Secure?

Protecting data while it’s being stored is just as important as securing it while it is being sent. Many companies use cloud security solutions to store sensitive information safely.

Data Security

Mitt Arv uses Microsoft Azure Virtual Network, a cloud-based online security system, to protect stored data. This technology provides an additional layer of protection for stored assets and personal messages ensuring that your information remains safe even when not in use. By leveraging Azure’s scalable and secure infrastructure, we aim to maintain the highest standards of data security for both Asset Vault and Emotional Will.
