Security

Viggo takes the security of data very seriously. Viggo works hard to protect Customer Data you provide from loss, misuse, and unauthorized access or disclosure. These steps take into account the sensitivity of the Customer Data we collect, process and store, and the current state of technology.

We place strict controls over our employees’ access to the data you and your users make available via the Viggo services, as more specifically defined in your agreement with Viggo covering the use of the Viggo services ("Customer Data"), and are committed to ensuring that Customer Data is not seen by anyone who should not have access to it. They may access the data only for the purpose of resolving issues associated with the use of the services (including disputes regarding transportation services).

We're committed to making Viggo a highly-available service that you can count on. Our infrastructure runs on systems that are fault tolerant, for failures of individual servers or even entire data centers. The Viggo services support the latest recommended secure cipher suites and protocols to encrypt all traffic in transit.

Viggo maintains an extensive, centralized logging environment in its production environment which contains information pertaining to security, monitoring, availability, access, and other metrics about the Viggo services. In addition to sophisticated system monitoring and logging, we have implemented two-factor authentication for all server access across our production environment.
