Security certificates
GHFIS is an online Mutual Fund distributor. We fully recognize and understand the security implications of being a mutual fund provider with whom people trust their money. There are many safeguards we adopt in this regard—some technical, and some structural.
When it comes to data security, our goal is to ensure that:
- Your data is stored safely and securely—passwords are one-way encrypted before being stored in the database for high security
- All communication with you, or with mutual fund companies and other service providers, is encrypted using the highest standards
- Your data is not shared with anyone unless you have explicitly requested us to do so to fulfill a transaction request
To ensure we achieve these goals, we have a variety of certifications/trust verifications in place, both from technical and legal/operational perspectives. All our communications are encrypted by 256-bit encryption, and our data is hosted with top-tier hosting service providers. Also, our data is continuously backed up to ensure continuity of operations.
