"From its conception, security is one of the foundation pillars on which every aspect of the Soonr service is built." —Martin Frid-Nielsen, CEO of Soonr

Soonr's security begins with the design of the system and flows through to the physical security of the Soonr servers and the protection of subscribers' data. How secure are your files? Very secure. And here's why:

• Sophisticated Encryption: All traffic is protected with 128-bit encryption of all data transmissions -- the same encryption as online banking transactions. If encrypted transmissions are intercepted, the data will appear as meaningless random characters.
• SSL: Secure Sockets Layer is the current accepted standard for encrypting data transmissions on the web. All communications between the Soonr Service and your computer will occur with SSL on by default.
• Password Protection: Connections from computers to the Soonr Service occur though the Soonr Software. The software is password protected and interacts only with the Soonr Service, making it very difficult to redirect information. All communication between mobile phones and the Soonr Service is similarly password protected, and is fully encrypted in both directions.
• Ultimate Control: As a Soonr user, you have the ultimate control. You choose the files that are available through Soonr and you control who gets access to your files and for how long. Recipients see the files you have shared and nothing else.
• Superior Virus Scanning: All emails that pass through the Soonr Service's servers, including attachments, are scanned in real time for the presence of viruses. If a virus is detected, the operation ceases immediately. Since incoming data streams are purged immediately if a virus is detected, it is not possible for infected files to be written to the Soonr Service.
• Hacker Safe Certification: The Soonr Service is tested and certified daily for compliance with the Hacker Safe® security standard, the most widely accepted and used assurance of Internet security.
• VeriSign Secured Certification: Soonr is VeriSign secured for authentication. Certificate details can be displayed by clicking on the VeriSign logo on the Soonr homepage.
• Physical Security: All Soonr servers are maintained in highly secured and guarded datacenters. Plans and procedures to cover every aspect of security, ranging from environmental issues through network traffic control, are in place and are regularly reviewed, tested and updated.
• Firewalls: Firewalls are great for preventing unauthorized access to your computer. Soonr works with all popular firewalls by only using accepted secure communications ports that are used by Internet browsers.
• Spyware: The Soonr Software only responds to the Soonr Service. As such, a errant program cannot take over Soonr and send your information to a malicious recipient.
