Ensuring the security of your data and retaining your trust are our top priorities and are at the center of everything we do. We deal daily with highly sensitive customer information and we take seriously our responsibility to keep it safe. So we make certain our security processes and controls are comprehensive.

At the center of our business is our global IF-RS Platform, which connects Sponsors and CROs with hundreds of Sites around the globe. Our success depends on confidentiality, availability and integrity. These values are embedded in our culture and practices.

Our outstanding technology credentials include highly secure data centres located in The Netherlands, backed by a range of certifications and reports. 

Network security forms the basis for proper protection of our platform. We not only use technical measures like firewalls, scanners, server hardening and constant monitoring, but also an integrated management system related to information security. Proper security for applications and networks is one thing, but regular testing of the state of affairs is nevertheless essential. Every day, security engineers keep track of the latest developments in the field of network and software security. 

TLS stands for "Transport Layer Security." It is a protocol that provides privacy and data integrity between two communicating applications. It's the most widely deployed security protocol used today, and is used for web browsers and other applications that require data to be securely exchanged over a network. TLS ensures that a connection to a remote endpoint is the intended endpoint through encryption and endpoint identity verification. The versions of TLS, to date, are TLS 1.0, 1.1 and 1.2. The IF-RS Payments Platform uses TLS 1.1 or higher to secure all communications between their servers and web browsers.

To ensure that you are TLS 1.1+ compliant, make sure your browsers are updated to these minimum versions below to access de IF-RS Payments Platform:
