Data Encryption

Each RapidPay application is accessed via HTTPS using Transport Layer Security (TLS). TLS is a cryptographic protocol designed to protect information transmitted over the internet, against eavesdropping, tampering, and message forgery.

Once client data reaches RapidPay's cloud infrastructure, all information is then encrypted at rest, using AES-256, military grade encryption. This is done to protect client information in the event a RapidPay server is compromised by an authorised party.

Employee Vetting

All RapidPay staff who have direct access to our cloud infrastructure, must go through an extensive vetting process, which includes police background checks, to ensure only bona fide team members are selected to look after our core platform.

Service Availability

RapidPay has been designed to be a highly available, active-active solution. RapidPay services are split over multiple AWS datacentres within the Sydney region. In the event of one data centre going offline in a disaster scenario, the second data centre continues to serve data with minimal, if any, service interruption.

RapidPay’s service is designed to scale up as more clients use it at peak times, and then scale down at low times. This scaling allows RapidPay to mitigate external attacks trying to flood our system resources.

Backup Policy

RapidPay servers are backed up multiple times daily, weekly and monthly.

System Monitoring

RapidPay is monitored 24hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year.
