The future of the automotive technology industry is a race between the growing power of digital ease and automation, and the wisdom with which we use it. EvalExpert’s utmost priority is protecting the personal information and data of every stakeholder involved in the transactional chain. Whilst our products streamline almost every stage of the car-buying process, right from test drives and appraisals to e-contracts, our common denominator has and will always be undisputed — the strict protection of clients’ data.
So how do we protect the dealerships that we serve, and the data of their customers?
To begin, EvalExpert acknowledges that data privacy is a discipline in itself. While the reality is that no software entity can be completely immune to cyberattacks, our in-house cybersecurity team deploys several security measures to minimize the risk of data breaches.
The first pillar of the security framework is built through an encrypted data warehouse with access controls so that only authorized parties can see their data. We use two-factor authentication for each attempt to access personal documents, along with password hashing to make sure that only our users have authority over their private information. This is complemented with real-time intelligent threat monitoring, for which we liaise with leading companies in the digital security industry. The third layer involves routine infrastructure audits, which ensure a proactive and preventative method of detecting malware. Lastly, we continuously identify and flag suspicious resource behavior.
Most importantly, the pillars of security uphold the data storage independently of each other. This means that even if one of the security pillars fails, there are always three back-up protection controls that prevent any kind of breach.
Customer protection is our highest priority and at EvalExpert, we’re always on the lookout for additional layers of security. Moving forward, we hope to continually develop features that don’t sacrifice security for ease of use. After all, as pioneers of the automotive technology industry, it is our responsibility to steer the ship in the right direction with regards to the safety and security of our clients’ data.
