Fail safe software
Every part of our service has been designed from the ground up for maximum protection. To guard against software bugs, our system uses a permissions structure which requires specific permission to view a file so even if we make a mistake - the system will fail-safe and keep your files secure.
* If you use Assetbox to store sensitive or private files and information we recommend the use of SSL encryption to ensure that your data can never be intercepted by another party. SSL encryption is available with our Max Plan.
