Data Security Measures

Data Security Measures

At Tradelink, we understand that your trust and peace of mind are of utmost importance when it comes to the security of your data. We are committed to going above and beyond what is required to protect your data, allowing you to focus on what truly matters - your business success.

That's why we have implemented a range of robust data security measures in our Government Electronic Trading Services (GETS) systems to ensure that your data is safeguarded at all times.

Strong Passwords for Maximum Protection

Our Strong Password Policy enhances the security of your accounts by requiring regular password changes within defined patterns and timeframes. By doing so, we prevent unauthorised individuals from guessing your passwords and gaining access to your valuable data.

Stay Ahead of Threats with Security Patch & Vulnerability Checking

We proactively review and apply the latest security patches, ensuring that your systems are fortified against emerging threats. Additionally, our vigilant monitoring of vulnerabilities from Hong Kong Computer Emergency Response Team allows us to swiftly address critical issues, providing an additional layer of protection for your data.

Minimal Downtime, Maximum Service Availability

Our Disaster Recovery Policy ensures that any threats or disruptions are swiftly mitigated, allowing us to transition our services to dedicated Disaster Recovery site if needed within just 4 hours. This means that you can enjoy almost uninterrupted access to our applications even under disastrous situation, minimising any potential disruptions to your business operations.

Data Protection and Recovery Made Easy

To comply with the Government's Security Regulations, your data which we backup regularly is retained for 7 years in both on-site and off-site for easy access and restored in case of need and will be deleted thereafter. Furthermore, your data is encrypted in transit and in storage, protecting its confidentiality from the malicious hacker and attack to the system or network.

Rest Assured of Access to Your Data

With our Access Control Policy, only authorised Tradelink staff with a genuine "need-to-know" can access your data. Any unauthorised login to the system/network will be blocked and alert our support team to check on these unauthorised accesses, minimising the risk of unauthorised access to you data.

Compliance and Accountability

We conduct annual audits to ensure that our GETS systems comply with the Government's security requirements and the ISO27002 Information Security Control standards. This commitment to compliance demonstrates our dedication to maintaining the highest cybersecurity standards and providing you with peace of mind.
