If you can access the Internet, you can access Small Business 401k. Though extremely powerful, Small Business 401k is transmitted to end-users primarily in simple HTML content (called "thin" content), which means...
Small Business 401k can be used via any type of computer platform: PC, Macintosh, Unix, and Kiosk, among others.
Small Business 401k can be used via any type of Internet connection, including DSL, cable modem, ISDN, and even low-bandwidth dial-up connections.
Small Business 401k can be used via any of today's popular Internet browsers, including Internet Explorer, Netscape, Firefox and America Online (AOL).
Small Business 401k can be used via any type of Internet connection, including DSL, cable modem, ISDN, and even low-bandwidth dial-up connections. Even on the low-bandwidth dial-up connections, pages load in seconds.
"Heavy" elements such as ActiveX controls and JAVA applets that can severely impact performance - bring it almost to a halt on low-bandwidth, dial-up connections - are abandoned in place of quality pure HTML to ensure top-quality performance and reliability.
Small Business 401k uses simple HTML elements to their full advantage, delivering fully functional, intuitive user front-ends absent of "heavy" conflicts.
The Small Business 401k context-sensitive help system, which allows users to get online help immediately regarding wherever they are within the system, is also delivered in pure HTML, and, again, never hampered by "heavy" elements.
Small Business 401k uses advanced 128-bit SSL encryption for protection of all financial information and transactions over the Internet. Security measures and methods to safeguard information include:
128-Bit Encryption Security - Encryption helps protect private financial information as it travels over the Internet. Communications between the browser on the user's computer and Small Business 401k are scrambled with 128 bit encryption security, then de-scrambled upon arriving back into the user's computer web browser.
Confidential Login - Account information is accessible only with a valid login and PIN or password. Users who do not match login and password are locked-out after a number of attempts.
Automatic Log-off - The system terminates the user session if the computer remains inactive for a certain period of time. This log-off feature helps prevent on-lookers from accessing confidential information if the user steps away from the computer.
User Activity Reports & Log - For added security, the system records all successful and unsuccessful sign-ons and keeps a historical log. To help identify potential computer hackers, the system monitors unusual activity or discrepancies in user sign-on, and locks out users who do not match you login and your password after a number of attempts.
The system does not store ANY sensitive data on the Plan Sponsor side; all data resides on the server side - and because all key data and processing are handled by secure objects residing on the server, Plan Sponsor connections never have direct database access and are never provided with the location of databases or sensitive data.
