Security

We are advised by our website hosts that all data transmitted between the user's web browser and the web server is secured by 128-bit SSL encryption. Currently the highest risk piece of information that is a target for data theft is the user's mother's maiden name, which is not requested on the IOM3 website. Users are welcome to contact IOM3 by telephone and identify themselves in a way which they are comfortable with and the Institute can reset the user's password to something of the user's choice. (Users can also do this themselves of course, within their own account settings.)

The new-user password reminder form only checks the data supplied then sends off a reminder email without storing the data.
