Advanced Data Encryption
At eFiling.us, we prioritize the security of your legal documents by employing advanced encryption methods designed to protect your data both during transmission and at rest. We utilize SSL/TLS encryption protocols to secure all data exchanges between your browser and our servers, ensuring that sensitive information is safeguarded from interception or unauthorized access while in transit.
Our encryption doesn’t stop there. Once your data reaches our servers, it remains encrypted and secure, protected by industry-leading standards that prevent unauthorized access. This approach ensures that your legal documents and personal information are always kept confidential.
We also implement end-to-end encryption, meaning your data is encrypted from the moment it leaves your device until it reaches its final destination. This comprehensive protection ensures that even if data were intercepted, it would be unreadable and unusable to anyone without the proper decryption keys. With eFiling.us, you can be assured that your data's integrity and confidentiality are maintained at all times, providing a secure environment for all your legal filings.

Strict Access Control
At eFiling.us, we implement strict access control measures to ensure that only authorized users can access your account and sensitive legal documents. Our user authentication processes include multi-factor authentication (MFA) and role-based access controls, which are designed to provide an additional layer of security.
Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)
MFA requires users to provide two or more verification factors to gain access to their accounts. This could include something you know (like a password), something you have (like a smartphone), or something you are (like a fingerprint). By requiring multiple forms of authentication, we significantly reduce the risk of unauthorized access, even if a password is compromised.
Role-Based Access Controls
Our platform also uses role-based access controls to limit access to sensitive documents based on a user’s role within an organization. This means that only users with the appropriate permissions can view, edit, or submit certain files, ensuring that access to critical information is tightly controlled and managed.
Secure Login Procedures
We enforce secure login procedures to protect your account from unauthorized access, monitoring login attempts and prompting regular password resets. We recommend MFA and strong, unique passwords for added security. These measures ensure your documents and personal information remain secure and accessible only to authorized users, safeguarding your data at all times.
Compliance with Legal and Regulatory Standards
eFiling.us is committed to maintaining the highest standards of compliance with all relevant legal and regulatory requirements. Our platform is designed to meet the specific court e-filing requirements of New York State, as well as other applicable regulations, ensuring that every submission you make through our system is fully compliant with the law.
Adherence to Legal Standards
MFA requires users to provide two or more verification factors to gain access to their accounts. This could include something you know (like a password), something you have (like a smartphone), or something you are (like a fingerprint). By requiring multiple forms of authentication, we significantly reduce the risk of unauthorized access, even if a password is compromised.
Staying Current with Evolving Regulations
Our platform also uses role-based access controls to limit access to sensitive documents based on a user’s role within an organization. This means that only users with the appropriate permissions can view, edit, or submit certain files, ensuring that access to critical information is tightly controlled and managed.
Assurance of Compliance
We enforce secure login procedures to protect your account from unauthorized access, monitoring login attempts and prompting regular password resets. We recommend MFA and strong, unique passwords for added security. These measures ensure your documents and personal information remain secure and accessible only to authorized users, safeguarding your data at all times.
Data Privacy and Confidentiality
At eFiling.us protecting your data privacy and maintaining the confidentiality of your information are top priorities. We are fully committed to complying with global privacy regulations, including the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), ensuring that your data is handled with the highest level of care and security.
Compliance with Privacy Laws
eFiling.us adheres to stringent privacy laws such as GDPR and CCPA, which govern how personal data is collected, stored, and used. We ensure that your information is processed in accordance with these regulations, providing you with transparency and control over your data. Our commitment to privacy means that you can trust us to handle your sensitive legal information in a manner that respects your rights and complies with legal obligations.
Data Anonymization and Secure Storage
To further protect your privacy, we employ data anonymization techniques that obscure personal identifiers, ensuring that your information cannot be easily traced back to you. This anonymized data is securely stored using advanced encryption methods, safeguarding it from unauthorized access or breaches. Our secure storage practices are designed to protect your information both in transit and at rest, maintaining the confidentiality of your data at all times.
Data Access, Sharing, and Retention Policies
We enforce secure login procedures to protect your account from unauthorized access, monitoring login attempts and prompting regular password resets. We recommend MFA and strong, unique passwords for added security. These measures ensure your documents and personal information remain secure and accessible only to authorized users, safeguarding your data at all times.
Continuous Audit and Monitoring
At eFiling.us, we are committed to maintaining the highest levels of security through continuous audit and monitoring practices. Our platform is designed with advanced systems that actively monitor for security threats and potential vulnerabilities around the clock, ensuring that your data remains protected at all times.
Proactive Security Monitoring
Our team utilizes real-time monitoring tools to keep a vigilant eye on the platform, detecting and responding to any suspicious activity or potential threats as they arise. This proactive approach allows us to identify and address security issues before they can impact your data, providing you with a secure environment for all your legal filings.
Regular Security Audits and Penetration Testing
To ensure the integrity of our platform, eFiling.us undergoes regular security audits and penetration testing conducted by cybersecurity experts. These audits rigorously assess our systems for vulnerabilities, while penetration testing simulates potential attacks to evaluate our defenses. By consistently testing and refining our security measures, we ensure that our platform remains robust and resilient against evolving threats.
Comprehensive Incident Response Plan
In the unlikely event of a security breach, eFiling.us has a swift response plan, including containment, investigation, and mitigation to minimize damage. We ensure transparency, keeping users informed throughout. With continuous audits and monitoring, we maintain a secure platform to protect your legal filings with the highest security standards.
User Responsibility and Best Practices
While eFiling.us is committed to providing a secure platform, users also play a crucial role in protecting their accounts and data. By following best practices, you can further enhance the security of your legal filings and personal information.
Protecting Your Account
Use Strong Passwords
Choose a password that is both complex and unique, combining letters, numbers, and special characters. Avoid using easily guessable information like birthdays or common words.
Enable Multi-FActor Authentication (MFA)
Adding an extra layer of security, MFA requires you to verify your identity through a second method, such as a text message or authentication app. This greatly reduces the risk of unauthorized access, even if your password is compromised.
Staying Vigilant
Regularly Update Account Infromation
Ensure that your contact information, especially your email address and phone number, is always up to date. This helps us communicate with you in case of any suspicious activity or security alerts.
Monitor Account Activity
Periodically review your account activity for any unusual behavior. If you notice anything suspicious, such as unfamiliar login attempts or changes to your account settings, report it immediately to our support team.
