BestQuote Internet Security Policy

Customer Security

We view the security and protection of user information as a fundamentally important business objective. Our policy is to meet the highest standards to ensure that your personal information is protected. We have had our website security validated by McAfee Secure (view Trusted Site mark on the bottom left). McAfee certifies that our site is free of viruses, malware or phishing; and that the site uses valid modern encryption protocols (TLS 1.3) to secure data.

We physically secure access to our computers, which are all password protected, monitored, and restricted to authroized peronnel. Multi-factor (MFA) protection measures are in place to ensure that our systems cannot be compromised by unauthroized password use. We use an extended validation TLS 1.3 encryption technology to ensure that the transmittal of your information is protected. Whenever possible, we use a PCI compliant payment gateway application to ensure that your payment information is transmitted over a secure PCI DSS compliant network, minimizing the risk of exposure or storage issues.

Why PCI DSS? PCI DSS stands for Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard. This worldwide security standard was developed by the major credit card companies (the Payment Card Industry Security Standards Council) as a guideline for organizations that process card payments to help prevent credit card fraud, cracking and various other security vulnerabilities and threats.

The information that you provide us by interacting with our site is received, stored, used and transmitted to the insurance companies in a secure access-controlled environment.

When you request to purchase a policy from a third-party administrator or insurance company by using BestQuote as the broker, we have ensured that the servers storing user information and hosting our website are firewall-protected, monitored by anti-virus/anti-malware tools, and regularly scanned and penetration-tested for security vulnerabilities. All payment data is transmitted only through secure payment gateway applications provided directly by the insurance company(s).

If you have any questions or concerns, we ask that you e-mail us to info@bestquotetravelinsurance.ca.
