Tell me more about Corporate Online security

We understand how important security is to you and we are committed to providing you with the highest level of security possible. We have joined forces with leading international solution providers to provide an IdenTrust compliant security infrastructure. IdenTrust is a global organisation of approved financial institutions, establishing the identities of their corporate customers and certifying them as trusted trading partners on the Internet. The rigorous controls applied by IdenTrust to operating infrastructures ensure extremely high levels of security in trading over the Internet. Individual users are provided with Smartcards and Smartcard reader that, in conjunction with a PIN, are used for Login and authorising instructions. This provides a quick and simple, yet highly secure, method of access. A secure audit log feature allows your system administrators to monitor who is carrying out what actions.

Please note that Smartcards can only be delivered within the UK. As they are encryption devices they may be subject to import restrictions in other countries.

We have also worked with RSA Security® to implement RSA SecurID® Tokens. This features token-based 2 factor security, i.e. something you know, (your username and PIN) and something you have (your RSA SecurID® Token) with 60 second one time pass-code. As well as strong authentication we have also used 128 BIT 3 DES SSL, multiple firewalls, encrypted databases, physically secure data centres and other security measures that we will not divulge.

For more information on security, visit our online security page.

Can I access my accounts from anywhere in the world?

If you wish to access Corporate Online with a Smartcard, the relevant software must be installed on the PC you require access on. Because the service is browser-based, you can access your account(s) from anywhere with access to the Internet with your RSA SecurID® Token. When using the RSA SecurID® Token you can view your account(s) and view and create payments.

What browser versions can I use to access Corporate Online?

The service has been tested and approved for running on a PC with the following versions of Microsoft Internet Explorer:

• IE 8.0.
• IE 7.0.

What operating systems do you recommend?

For optimum performance we recommend Windows XP, Vista and Windows 7 (32 bit and 64 bit) operating systems.

Do I need any special software?

The only special software required by you will be supplied at the point of registration.
