Lease accounting may contain sensitive financial data. For that reason, we have implemented two-factor authentication. Two-factor authentication makes sure that no data breach occurs. First, the user needs to input his password, and if the correct password is added, a token ID page opens. A token ID is generated and sent to the registered email ID. The user can only open the 16Leases account when he enters the accurate token ID on the Token ID page.

Token ID is a unique code randomly generated when a person enters the correct password when he logs in. The code generated is sent to the email account and then entered on the token ID page to access of 16Leases account.

Token ID is kept secure using SHA-1 encryption.

All the data is backed up on Microsoft azure.

The cloud storage (Microsoft Assure) we use is safeguarded by Microsoft Azure Trust Center, and it is also compliant with numerous compliant programs assuring that security is up to the mark.
